The eastern component is sent to Budennovsk, and the western component is sent to Nevinnomyssk. Free fishing is allowed here at any time of the year, except for the spawning period.

Kochubeevsky district

This area has unique conditions for fishing. The most promising are places with a moderate current. Places in the water area, where the current is minimal, attract fish such as trout. Here it is not a problem to catch crucian carp, rudd or scavenger.

Some, especially avid fishermen, came across bream weighing up to 4 kilograms. Despite the fact that fishing here is free, it is still allowed to catch fish with only one hook and exclusively from the shore. At the same time, there is a catch rate – no more than 5 kilograms per person. The fine will have to be paid in case of fishing from a boat.

Pravoegorlyk Canal

This channel is characterized by fairly clear and clean water, which cannot but interest fishing enthusiasts. The most numerous fish in this reservoir are pike perch and ram. Pike perch will have to be caught at a depth of 10 to 15 meters. In good, sunny weather, it is really possible to catch a large pike perch. This is especially promising in the dark. Ram is caught here for corn or wheat, and flour and aromatic substances are added to the bait. The ram bites quickly and aggressively. This body of water is not suitable for those who are focused on a greater availability of fish species. In the Stavropol Territory, it is also possible to find such reservoirs where a greater number of fish species are found.

This fishing spot is located in the Shpakovsky district. The reservoir is characterized by the presence of clean, running water. The water in this reservoir is replaced up to 15 times a year. The most active in this reservoir are silver carp, ram, pike perch and grass carp.

Here fishing is allowed throughout the year, and for free. Fishing conditions allow the use of a watercraft, but you can also fish from the shore. Large perches and zander are caught here, which are caught from a depth of 12 meters or more. As a rule, predatory fish are caught on artificial lures such as wobblers and twisters, as well as other, especially edible rubber.

The best paid reservoirs in the Stavropol Territory

Popovskie Ponds

Popovsky Ponds have more than 50 reservoirs located on the territory of the Stavropol Territory, and cover an area of ​​​​more than 500 hectares. On these reservoirs, paid fishing is organized. Throughout the year, they are regularly replenished with live fish, such as crucian carp, silver carp, perch, rudd, zander, carp and grass carp.

For one hour of fishing on these ponds, you will have to pay 500 rubles. Here, but for additional funds, you can buy bait and any bait. After fishing, the attendants, if desired, can process the catch, but you will have to pay 100 rubles per 1 kg of weight.

Popovsky ponds are located at the intersection of the Stavropol-Sengileevskoye-Tunnelny roads, which is located 23 km from Stavropol.

Other bodies of water

In addition to Popovsky ponds, there are other paid places. For example:

• Two ponds in the Novotroitsky district. Here for a day of fishing it is really possible to catch a lot of various fish.
• A pond near the village of Novoul’yanovka. It is located in close proximity to the place where water is discharged from the reservoir. There is a sufficient amount of crucian carp here, but you can catch catfish if you try.
• Lake near the village of Red. There is also a fish farm, which organized paid services for fishermen. There are a lot of large and various fish in the pond, and the attendants are hospitable.

What kind of fish is found in the Stavropol Territory?

Zander

It differs here in that it grows rather slowly. Here, an individual weighing 4 kilograms is already considered large, although some fishermen caught pike perch weighing up to 7 kilograms.

It is caught here more on artificial baits, which are distinguished by a light color. Deep-sea wobblers are considered no less catchy, since pike perch leads a benthic lifestyle. They show themselves well, when catching zander, sinking wobblers.

Catfish

This large freshwater predator is found in almost all water bodies of Russia and the Stavropol Territory is no exception. In addition, it is possible to catch trophy catfish here. Catfish should be looked for in deep-sea places, where they prefer to be almost all the time, leaving them only to feed themselves.

As a rule, this happens at night, as the catfish is a nocturnal hunter. A large catfish is caught on a frog, a fried sparrow or a crayfish, and smaller individuals can be caught on a bunch of worms.

Carp and crucian

These fish, and especially crucian carp, feel great in this region. Carp does not like fast currents, therefore, it should be looked for where it is absent at all. It is in such areas of the water area that he feeds. Carp, on the other hand, prefers to be in deeper areas located away from the coast. This is especially true during hot periods.

Crucian bites perfectly on various baits, both of animal and vegetable origin. Therefore, it will not be difficult to catch him, unlike carp, which still needs to be interested in the bait. Since the food supply can be different on individual ponds, this factor must be taken into account when going for carp. When catching this fish, one must also take into account the fact that carp is a strong fish that requires strong tackle. As a rule, there is special equipment for carp fishing, including reliable carp rods and fishing line. If all factors are taken into account and show restraint and patience, you can easily catch carp.

In the Stavropol Territory, there is a sufficient number of various reservoirs, both free and paid, where you can relax and fish. There is a very diverse fish and quite large, which attracts anglers of all categories.

Before going fishing, it is advisable not to go blind, but to get as much information as possible on the location of reservoirs, their nature, as well as what kind of fish is found and caught. Even going to a paid reservoir, it is not a fact that you will be able to catch fish. The behavior of fish, both in an ordinary reservoir and in a paid one, is no different and is associated with many, including weather factors.

But this is not the main thing, but the main thing is that in this region there is a place for fishing for everyone. Moreover, here you can not only fish, but also useful to relax.
