1 Lake Vodlozero (Pudozhsky district, Republic of Karelia). Fishing on Vodlozero. Map of Vodloze Lake Vodlozero is located in the southeastern part of Karelia. Refers to the river basin. Vodla, which flows into Lake Onega. Geographical coordinates lake center: 62 20" N, 36 51" E e. Since 1935, Vodlozero has been turned into a seasonal reservoir for rafting purposes by constructing dams at the headwaters of the Dry Vodla and Vama rivers. In spring, the water level in the lake rises by 2 3 m. Lake Vodlozero on an interactive map (yandexmaps view=map id=18)
2 Lake Vodlozero (Pudozhsky district, Republic of Karelia). Fishing on Vodlozero. Map of Vodloz PHYSICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERISTICS Water surface area 334 km2. The total area (with islands) is 368 km2. Maximum length 36.2 km, maximum width 15.9 km. There are 196 large and small islands on the lake, the total area of which is 34 km2. The coastline is highly meandering; its length along the mainland is 232 km, with islands 446 km. Altitude above sea level 136.1 m. 2 / 12
3 Vodlozero is an elongated reservoir, elongated in the direction from north to south. The lake has wide reaches, separated by groups of islands, numerous open or isolated bays, frequent underwater and surface shoals (luds) and stones. The shores are low, mostly rocky or rocky-sandy, covered with mixed forest. On many large islands there are villages, there are arable lands and meadows. The main tributaries of the lake are the Ileksa, Kelka and Okhtomka rivers; in addition, a number of small rivers flow into the lake. The catchment area of Vodlozero is 4700 km2. The main tributaries, the Ileks and the Kelk, account for about 90% of the total catchment area. These rivers, especially the most major tributary R. Ilexa being carried into the lake a large number of organic substances and suspensions, which determines the best development of plankton in the northern region of the lake. The Dry Vodla and Vama rivers flow from the lake, which merge downstream and form the river. Vodla, which flows into Lake Onega. The rise in water level usually occurs from mid-April to June, during the summer months and September the water level gradually decreases. A slight rise in water is usually observed in October-November, followed by a slow decrease in the level during the winter. The amplitude of fluctuations in water levels between the highest in May and the lowest marks in March April in different years is cm. Vodlozero is a shallow reservoir with a maximum depth of 16.3 m and an average of 3.1 m. Depths up to 5 m account for about 81% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe reservoir. The bottom relief is complex. The lake has a number of depressions with a relatively flat bottom; at the same time, sharp, differently oriented rises and falls of the bottom are frequent, forming islands of shallows and pits. According to the nature of the distribution of depths and the structure of the bottom topography, the lake is divided into three regions: northern, middle and southern. northern region shallow, in it a zone with depths of up to 2 m occupies 38% of the area, the greatest depth does not exceed 5 m. There are many shoals in this area, some of them are exposed by autumn with a drop in the water level. The middle and southern regions are deeper: more than 50% of the lake area is occupied by a zone with depths over 5 m. Frequent islands and shoals. The site with the greatest depth of the lake (16.3 m) is located in the middle region. In the lake there are rocky, sandy, ore and silty soils, as well as transitional between them. The coastal strip is composed mainly of stony and sandy-stony soil. From a depth of 3 meters, silts occur, which are a homogeneous mass of gray-green color with an admixture of detritus. Sandy-ore soils are most pronounced in the middle region of the lake. 3/12
4 Water transparency in August is 1.5 2.4 m. The lowest transparency (1.5 2.0 m) is observed in the estuarine and coastal areas of the lake. The color of the water is dark yellow. Vodlozero is characterized by a significant warming of the entire water mass, which creates favorable conditions for the development of organisms. In July, surface water temperatures reach In August (1955), surface water temperatures were 18 20.4, bottom 16.8 18.2. The difference in temperatures at the surface and near the bottom in calm weather reached 3; after prolonged winds, uniform temperatures are established in the water column. Freeze up in the first half of November, ice breaking in May. IN summer time there is a high content of oxygen dissolved in water 8 9 mg / l (84 98% saturation of the normal content) and a small amount of free carbon dioxide 0.5 2 mg / l. In some bays and the deepest parts of the lake with weak mixing of water in the bottom layers, the oxygen content decreases to 6.8-4.6 mg/l (68-45%) and an increase in free CO2 to 3.7-7.5 mg/l is observed. The active reaction of water is close to neutral: pH 6.81 7.42 in the surface layers of water and 6.41 6.99 in the bottom. The oxidizability of water (permanganate) is quite high 15.3-23.4 mgo2/l, more often mgo2/l. Compared to many other lakes in Karelia, Vodlozero is better supplied with biogenic elements. Phosphorus and iron were found in all areas of the lake in August during the mass bloom of water, nitrogen (NO3) was also present in some places. The amount of hydrocarbonate ion (HC(U3)) ranges from 12.1 to 17.1 mg/l. In general, in terms of its hydrological and hydrochemical conditions, Vodlozero is a reservoir that provides conditions for the good development of predominantly heat-loving fish species. HYDROBIOLOGY Higher aquatic vegetation consists mainly from reeds and amphibious buckwheat.In addition to them, there are pondweeds, horsetails, water lilies, egg capsules, 4 / 12
5 elodea, watercress, water moss, burr. The aquatic flora is generally poorly developed and is represented by separate thickets bordering the islands and in places along the lake shore, mainly in the southern and middle parts of the lake. The area occupied by higher aquatic vegetation is about 4 km "g. In the composition of the benthic fauna, a prominent place is occupied by insect larvae of chironomids, caddis flies, mayflies, beetle larvae, and others. Mollusks are widespread: limney, planorbis, valvata, pysidium, toothless. Crustaceans are represented by gammarus, the relict crustacean pallasea, demersal cladocera and copepods, as well as ostracods.Oligochaetes, nematodes, water mites, and leeches should be noted from other benthic groups. , mayflies and representatives of other groups of benthos.Gammarus and pallasea are also found here.In the silt zone, mainly chironomids and pisidium live, in addition, there are oligochaetes, water mites, ostracods, etc. Vodlozero belongs to the reservoirs of Karelia with increased productivity of benthos.The average value biomass is 26.1 kg/ha in summer with a population of 7.83 million eq. h/ha. About 65% of the biomass is accounted for by chironomids, 11% by pisi-diums, and about 20%. toothless, living mainly in the southern part of the lake. The highest biomass in the southern part of the lake is 46.2 kg/ha (the number is 10.98 million ind./ha), consisting mainly of chironomids and geleids (26.4 kg/ha), as well as Large toothless (13.9- kg/ha). Most the weight of chironomids is made up of large forms (Chironomus f.l. semireductus, Chironomus, f. 1. plumosus). The biomass of bottom fauna in the northern part of the lake is 26 kg/ha (number 7.51 million ind./ha), in the middle part 18 kg/ha (number 6.74 million ind./ha). Some increase in benthos weight is observed in bays, bays and estuaries, as well as in open areas of the lake with large forms of chironomids. The surface layer of silt (0 2 cm) is inhabited in summer by small chironomids, oligochaetes, pisidium, ostracods (440 specimens/m"", 0.4 g/m). The underlying layers, populated mainly by chironomids, are somewhat poorer in the organisms of the upper layer. A significant increase in biomass is observed per cm from the surface of the silt, reaching 18.3 g/l2 due to the large forms of chironomids found here. Fish for food use a variety of forms of benthos, including toothless (in the diet of ide, bream). Important feeding places for benthic fish (ide, whitefish, silver bream, ruff, bream, partly perch) and juvenile fish are coastal areas of the lake and coastal slopes, where benthic fauna, along with high quality diversity, reaches significant development (up to 18 kg/ha) , as well as many places in the open parts of the lake. 5 / 12
6 According to the development of crustacean plankton, Vodlozero belongs to the average productive water bodies of the republic. On average, for the entire lake, the number of planktonic crustaceans is 24.0 thousand ind./m3, biomass is 0.88 g/l3. The leading position both in number and biomass is occupied by cladocera (50% in number and about 70% in biomass), followed by cyclopides (40% and 20%, respectively) and calanids (10% and 10%). Of the cladocera, diaphanosomes (about 12% of the total biomass), daphnia (Daphnia cristata and D. cucullata), accounting for about 20% of the total biomass, bosmins (Bosmina coregoni and Bosmina obtusirostrls) about 28%, and chidorus ( 9%). Almost everywhere in the lake there are large (from 3 to 8 mm long) crustaceans of leptodor (ind. / m3), bitotrefes (ind. / m "6) and holopedium (ind. / m%). In terms of the degree of development of crustacean plankton, certain areas of Vodlozero are unequal; the number of crustaceans in the lake increases in the direction from south to north. In the southern part of the lake, the number of crustaceans is on average 13 thousand ind. / m "a (about 0.3 g / m3), in the middle part 18 thousand ind. / m3 (approximately 0.65 g/l3) and in the northern region 38 thousand ind./m3 (1.4 g/l3). In Vodlozero, the crustacean plankton of open coastal shallow waters and shallow areas above the pools is very poor quantitatively (about 3.0 thousand ind./m3). Planktonic crustaceans are unevenly distributed in the water column. Under normal conditions, in the middle deep-water parts of the lake, their bulk is concentrated in the upper two-meter layer of water; deeper than 2 m, the number of crustaceans decreases by a factor of 3-8. Near the islands and underwater pools, depending on the direction and duration of the winds, surge concentrations of planktonic organisms are sometimes created in water layers deeper than 2 m. In these layers of water, the number of crustaceans increases by 15–20% compared to the water horizon of 0–2 m. However, at shallow depths in Vodlozero strong winds, causing complete mixing of the entire water column, often lead in some parts of the lake to equalize the distribution of crustaceans in abundance from the surface to the bottom. 6/12
7 The planktivorous fish of the Vodlozero (vendace, smelt, bluefish, juvenile perch and other fish) mainly feed on large bosmines, chidorus, to a lesser extent lepto-dora, bitotrefes, small bosmins, daphnia, limno-sida and holopedium. In the northern part of the lake, in the Varishpelda Bay and in the areas adjacent to it, the forage base is underused by plankton-eating fish. Fishing on Lake Vodlozero In Vodlozero there are 20 species of fish belonging to 9 families: salmon, vendace, whitefish, grayling, smelt, pike, roach, dace, ide, minnow, bleak, silver bream, bream, blue bream, mustachioed char, burbot, pike perch , perch, ruff, sculpin. Vendace, whitefish, smelt, pike, roach, ide, bream, burbot, pike perch, perch, and ruff are of commercial importance. Salmon and grayling are rare. The leading role in the fishery is played by smelt, bream, pike perch, perch. The snout is widespread. In autumn and winter, significant accumulations of it are observed in the area of Kanzanavolok, Kolgostrov (Dechi Ludy, Derevyannaya Luda, Tonya Mezhalda), near Vygostrov, Pelgostrov. The Pelgostrov area is one of the main fishing areas, it provides up to 50% of the total annual catch of smelt. Especially significant are the accumulations of smelt in the pre-spawning period near the Ostrets Luds and Kingostrov. The smelt spawns in the bays of Shuilakhta, near Shuyostrov (along the east coast), in the southern part near Velikostrov, near the village of Matkalahty. Good spawning areas near Kevasalma, near Poga. Spawning time is the first half of May, spawning on rocky and pebbly-sandy soils. The average size of smelt is 7 8 cm, weight 2.5 3 g. Vodlozersky smelt is characterized by early precocity and short life
8 cycle. In the September catches of 1955, two-year-old specimens prevailed, amounting to 92%, and older fish accounted for 8% (2+.3+). At the age of 1+ years, the smelt reaches 71 mm and 2.1 g, in a three-year-old 77 mm and 2.8 g, and in a four-year-old 82 mm and 3.6 g (September 1955). The main food of the smelt (September 1955) is bosmins (57%), especially Bosmina coregoni coregoni (45.3%). Daphnia (12.3%), chidorus (18.8%), bitotrefes (8.8%) are of secondary importance. Competitors in the diet of smelt are vendace and small perch. The smelt may experience an acute shortage of food in spring and early summer; in the second half of summer, competition weakens due to the massive development of zooplankton. The bream has a wide distribution, and in Vodlozero lake and lake-river bream are distinguished. Northern part lakes are the main area of distribution of lake-river bream. Its main spawning grounds are located in the Ileksa and Kelka rivers. The lacustrine form of bream is characteristic of the southern part of the lake. The largest concentrations of bream in winter are observed in the northern part near Vaskostrov on slopes (blockages ") with depths up to 4 m, in the area of Kolgostrov (Pogost), Pelgostrov, on the southwestern side of Torosostrov, near Vysokoye Island. The main feeding areas of bream in summer in the northern part they are confined to the mouths of the Ileksy and Kelka rivers.There is a lot of bream in the Zhebelnavolok area, here the bream feeds at depths of up to 4 m, in places with muddy ground.In the middle and southern parts of the lake, feeding bream is found everywhere.There is a lot of it in Okhtomlakhta and Leshozero. Bream spawns in the mouth areas of the Ileksa, rises along the Kelka River, spawns in Kelkozero.In the southern part of the lake, the spawning grounds of the bream were in Matkalahta, at present, the herd of this bream has been undermined by irrational fishing. spawning in Leshozero.The course of spawning bream in the river Ileksu begins in the first ten days of May.Spawning in 1955 took place in the second half of June (the spring of this year was cold). t of bream in some parts of the lake passes almost simultaneously, with a difference in terms of 2 3 days. Mass spawning at temperature Spawning of the Vodlozero bream is one-time. The bream becomes sexually mature at the age of 7-8 years, in mass at 9-10 years. 8 / 12
9 The bream feeds mainly on chironomid larvae (most often Procladius) and mollusks (pisidium, toothless). Mature bream feeds mainly in the deep parts of the lake, often entering the coastal zone. Pike perch is found everywhere, but highest value have fishing areas near Pelgostrov, Kolgostrov, Kanzanavolok, Kuganavolok, Zagorye. Bream spawns in the lake itself, although in significant quantities it also rises for breeding in the river. Ileksu, reaching about. Kalakunda. Spawning in June. The pike-perch in mass becomes sexually mature at the age of 8-10 years. In the summer, zander is caught in nets and nets, a cm long, with an average size of 49 cm. The weight of commercial pike perch is from 200 g to 5 kg, the average is 1.25 kg. The main food of an adult pike perch is smelt, vendace, less ruff, roach, perch. Roach. Conditions in Vodlozero are favorable for breeding and fattening of cyprinids. Among them, roach occupies the first place in terms of numbers. The roach is especially abundant in the numerous bays of the lake. Spawns everywhere in small grassy areas. In spring, the roach moves to the rivers Okhtomka, Kelka, Ileksa. Spawning time for roach is the end of May beginning of June. Roach feeds in the coastal zone. Its juveniles (89 94 mm) feed mainly on planktonic crustaceans (Bosmina coregoni coregoni). Coarse plant detritus predominates in the diet of roaches of older age groups. The second place is occupied by benthic forms: chironomids, heleids, caddisflies, etc. Ruff is ubiquitous. Spawns on sandy and rocky soils. A lot of spawning ruff is caught in the area of the villages of Pogi, Pelgostrov, Ragunova, Velik-ostrov, Bostilova. In summer, ruff is found throughout the lake. In autumn, large concentrations of it are common in the Valgostrov area (Kanzanavoloksky site) on vendace spawning grounds. The average size of a ruff is 81 mm, weight is 8.5 g. The catches are dominated by a ruff of three to five years. Feeds mainly on larvae of chironomids, geleids, caddisflies and pisidium shells. 9/12
10 Perch is one of the many fish in Vodlozero. The largest concentrations in summer are observed in the area of Kolgostrov, Ileksa, Pelgostrov. In the summer, a lot of small perch with an average weight of 8.5 g, with a length of 7 cm is caught in the net. Perch with a size of mm, the weight of such a perch is g. 10 years. Juvenile perch (up to 90 mm in size) is a competitor in the diet of vendace and smelt. Bosmin crustacean (Bosmina coregoni coregoni) is the main food of small perch. The perch, mm in size, has a mixed diet, along with planktonic crustaceans, eats chironomids, mayfly larvae, etc. Predatory food due to vendace, ruff, etc. Vendace has a wide distribution. In the spring-summer period, its highest concentrations are observed in the southern part of the lake (Matkalahta, Kuziostrov, Bostilova, Vavdepolskaya Lakhta), as well as in the area of Ragunov, Pelgostrov, Kanza-navolok, in areas with depths up to 5-7 m. in the area of Kuganavoloka, Kolgostrov, Dechiy Lud, Mezhalda Ludy, near Pogost, Pelgostrov, Kingostrov. It spawns in the southern part of the lake (Bostilova, Kuganavolok, Vysokiy, north-west of the island of Shendemy, Kevasalmi) and in the northern part near Kolgostrov, Koskosalma, Zagorye. Spawning time end of October first half of November. The vendace lays eggs on sandy, sandy-stony and stony soils with depths up to 3-4 m. Fertility is from 1104 to 3527 eggs, the average is 2020 eggs. The average size of commercial vendace is 124 mm, weight is g. The bulk of commercial catches are vendace aged 1+ and 2+ years. Conditions for growing vendace in Vodlozero are favorable: the main food component of vendace, the bosmin crustacean (Bosmina coregoni coregoni), is found everywhere. Of secondary importance in the diet of vendace (in June-July) are air insects, larvae of heleids, chironomids, bitotrefes, chidorus, cyclopids, etc. Pike is distributed throughout the lake. Spawns on grassy spills. Numerous spawning approaches are observed in the area of the river. Ileksy, in Pogsky 10/12
11 area. In winter, significant pike catches are in the areas of Pelgostrov, Kuganavoloka, Kolgostrov, where it is caught together with smelt and vendace. Spawning time is the first half of May. The average length of pike in summer catches is 58 cm, with fluctuations in cm; average weight 1.9 kg, with fluctuations of 0.3 7.7 kg. Pike from 3 to 22 years old are found in commercial catches, fish at the age of six to seven years predominate. Burbot spawns in the lake itself and in the rivers Ileksa, Kelka, Okhtomka. In autumn, a lot of burbot is caught in the area of Kolgostrov, Kuganavolok, Pelgostrov. The ide is distributed throughout the lake. In summer, during feeding, small and medium ide adhere to the coastal areas of the lake, while the large one lives in deeper areas. The movement of the ide to the spawning grounds begins in April, its most massive movement was noted in the river. Ileks. The ide rises for spawning also in Sombasozero and Leshozero. These areas are the main spawning grounds for ide. Spawns in May early June, in shallow coastal grassy areas, with depths of 1.5-2 m (Matkalahta, Vavdepolskaya Lakhta, Okhtomlakhta, Pelgostrov area, Leshozero, Sombasozero). In the catches, ide 4-16 years old is found, fish aged 5-10 years predominate. Feeds mainly in the littoral zone. It largely consumes aquatic vegetation, mayfly larvae, often, but in a small number of caddisfly larvae. Large ide also feeds on toothless (anodont). Whitefish. There are two forms of whitefish in Vodlozero: lacustrine and lake-river. The latter prevails. Summer concentrations of whitefish are observed in the deeper middle part of the lake, in the area of Pelgostrov. There is a lot of it in the area of Matkalahta and Bostilova. The main spawning grounds for lake whitefish are located in the middle part of the lake west of Kanzanavolok, between Valgostrov and Kingostrov, near Gumarnavolok, in the southern part near Kuganavolok, in the northern part near Kolgostrov. The lake-river whitefish enters the rivers Ileksu, Kelka, Okhtomka. Ilek whitefish catches are up to 50% of the total annual catches throughout the lake. In r. Ilexe whitefish spawns in areas located 5 a from the mouth; in the confluence of the river. Puganda; at the threshold of Sigovets, located 20 km above the mouth. Along the river Kelke sig rises to Kenozero and above. Spawns in October on sandy-stony and stony soils. In early winter, spawning takes place under the ice. Whitefish approaches to the mouth of the river. Ilex starts at the end of August beginning of September. 11 / 12

Karelia is a region of Russia with the largest number of diverse water bodies in which you can fish. 27.6 thousand rivers and rivulets, 60 thousand lakes are full of a wide variety of fish and can satisfy any desires of fishermen. The only thing that can upset them is that there are no or very bad entrances to many reservoirs. The latter is the reason for the abundance of fish in them, the preservation of pristine nature around.
Reservoirs for winter fishing in Karelia
Suna river
This is the longest (280 km) river in Karelia. Its location is the southern part of the region. At its beginning, the river flows out of Lake Kivijärvi, crosses several lakes along the way, and ends its journey, giving water to Lake Onega. At the confluence with the latter, it forms the Kondopoga Bay.
On this reservoir, 27 km to its mouth, there is famous waterfall Kivach. The section from the latter to Lake Onega is navigable. On the rest, there are more than fifty rapids, small and medium-sized waterfalls. Several hydroelectric power stations were built on the river, representing the Sunsky cascade. Of these, the most famous are Paleozerskaya and Kondopoga.
In addition to the many rapids that exist on the river, it is distinguished by a winding channel. There are a lot of fish in the reservoir, among which there are many well-known species: river dace, pike, burbot, perch, ruff, roach, ide, bream. On the lower section you can hunt for pike perch, lake dace, vendace, trout. The latter appeared in the river recently and thanks to trout farms, from whose cages she escaped.
Pike, perch on the Sun are caught with traditional tackle - spinning, in winter with hooks, vents, lure from the ice. On the stretches one comes across a pike perch, a large toothy one. Belle, small perch goes well for jigging gear, float stationary fishing rods.
The best biting of predators, as in other water bodies of the country, is in cloudy weather, during periods when snow falls from the sky. In almost all parts of the river at the bottom there are a lot of flooded stumps, snags, logs from the existing timber rafting. This requires caution when fishing in winter, as there is a high probability of hooks and loss of spinners, jig, balancers.
The floating section of the river is open for fishing all year round. In the area from the border of the Kivach Reserve to Lake Onega (the mouth of the Suna) in May (25th)-June (10th) there is a fishing ban. It is associated with the migration of juvenile salmon into the lake.
Keret River
The river from the north belongs to the Loukhsky district of Karelia. It starts from the lake of the same name, and ends at the White Sea. Although the length of the river is modest (80 km) in comparison with other Karelian rivers, excellent fish can be found in its waters. The latter, in terms of species composition and diversity, are the same as the rest of the reservoirs of the Kola Peninsula.
There are many (more than a dozen) in-channel rapids along the Keret. Its shores are interesting for their northern beauty, it is interesting for fishing and the mouth with access to White Sea. The latter has islands that can also be interesting in terms of fishing.
This northern river is rich in pike, dace, ruff, roach, perch, whitefish, burbot, and grayling. She, during the spawning period, is visited by salmon, brown trout, pink salmon, and whitefish. Salmon, trout are caught from the ice, spinning near the rapids. Roach, pike, perch can be caught throughout the reservoir. And often in catches there are worthy specimens: 12-kilogram pikes, 1.5-kilogram perches. The river is characterized by a more active biting of fish in the cold season.
Spinning is the most popular tackle on Keret. The truth is always required large stock baits, as they often remain in the cold water of the river due to the large number of stones, snags at the bottom. Belle on the river goes to the float winter fishing rod, jigging gear. Replants - worm, maggot, bloodworm.
The river is closed for fishing from the beginning of May until the end of October. The reason is the spawning and development of valuable fish species. Fines are decent - 2 ... 5 thousand rubles. and depend on the equipment used. There is no need to hope for a chance - the waters of the river are constantly monitored by the fishing inspection.
Pistajoki river
The river is of medium length (110 km) for Karelia. Its source is located abroad - in Finland (Lake Joukamojärvi). Further, its channel runs parallel to the border. On its way, Pistajoki crosses several lakes. It ends in Lake Upper Kuito.
There are many rapids of different complexity and length on the river. There are shivers, stretch areas, lakes. All this creates conditions for the existence different types fish: pike, ide, perch, roach, brown trout, parsley trout, grayling, bream, burbot, dace. Small freshwater salmon, which is in the Red Book, enters the reservoir to spawn.
The living conditions of the fish in the river are excellent. She grows in it quickly, walks up. Due to the large amount of local food, the fish often fill up so much that they stop responding to any bait.
As in other northern Karelian rivers, fishing in winter on Pistajok is carried out more with spinning, winter fishing rods with mormyshkas. And they use a wide variety of baits. Sometimes on the river, the fish passes only natural baits and is best caught on winter float gear. From baits: fry, worm, bloodworm, maggot. Moreover, during such periods, both linen and a predator, even a pike, peck at the float.
Fishing in Pistajok is licensed only. But at the same time, for the period from the beginning of June to mid-July, it is generally prohibited. This is the time of the stingray of the salmon fry.
Ladoga lake
The body of water is one of the largest in Europe. Its northern and western shores belong to Karelia, the eastern and southern to the Leningrad region. The lake is deep - 20 ... 230 m. It receives the waters of more than forty rivers, streams, and gives only the Neva.
The lake is freshwater. It is inhabited by 53 species of different fish. Among the latter are the Ladoga slingshot, burbot, rudd, salmon, pike, trout, perch, silver bream, char, roach, whitefish, pike perch, vendace, bream, catfish, smelt, blue bream, asp, and cheese. There are Volkhov whitefish, Atlantic sturgeon, but they are few in number and are listed in the Red Book. In the lake, across the Neva, sturgeon comes to spawn.
Most fishing spots are located on the lake in the southern, shallow part, with a depth of 15 ... 20 meters. The most problematic for fishing is the area in the north with skerries. If you are interested in pike perch, then you should try to catch it near the southeastern and southern shores of the reservoir.
Winter tackle for fishing on Ladoga - spinning rods for vertical lure, hooks, vents, jigging tackle.
Vodlozero
This is a reservoir of the Pudozh region of Karelia. It has an elongated north-south shape, low banks made of stone. The lake is large - there are 196 islands on its surface, which are occupied by fishermen, tourists in search of good luck in summer, near them they constantly fish from the ice in winter. Of the largest islands are known: Vygostrov, Velikostrov, Kanzanavolok, Kolgostrov, Pelgostrov, Okhtom, Shuyostrov, Mary, Ragunovo, Kingostrov.
The shores of the lake and its islands are heavily overgrown with reeds, near which in winter you can most often observe hordes of fishermen. In the reservoir there are more than two dozen different fish. Most often, you can hope to catch vendace, pike perch, whitefish, bream, ide, pike, roach, perch, burbot, smelt, ruff. Pike perch should be caught in the southern part of the reservoir, near the long cape, on which the Kuganavolok settlement is located.
Ice fishing on Vodozero starts in November and ends in May.
Features of winter fishing in Karelia
Winter in the region is always severe, because winter fishing problematic and more comfortable in the southern regions of Karelia. From the ice in the reservoirs they catch mainly pike, perch, roach, pike perch, dace, ide, bream.
Karelian rivers and lakes are rich in burbot, which is why many fishermen hunt it in winter. The sizes of this fish in local reservoirs considerably exceed the average European ones. In catches, kilogram individuals are not uncommon, and there are more.
Ice begins to bind Karelian reservoirs from mid-autumn, but it becomes strong enough for winter fishing by December. Pervoledye, as in other regions, is one of the most successful periods in terms of fishing. At this time, pike perch, pike are caught very well, which are caught by vertical lure, placing vents, baits.
Many of the fishermen prefer to catch white fish - it also bites well at the beginning of winter. The catches include roach, silver bream, and bream. They are hunted mainly with winter float rods, which are exposed in the holes with mandatory pre-feeding.
January in Karelia on water bodies, especially its second half, is already a wilderness. Ice fishing activity is dropping significantly. This happens from a significant thickening of the ice, which leads to the overlap of the light flux, a decrease in oxygen in the water column.
In the wilderness, the fish becomes inactive in Karelia. Most of it gathers at the bottom, remains motionless and ceases to feed almost completely. All this complicates Karelian fishing and makes it much less effective.
During this period, it is better to go fishing in large reservoirs, which have a large surface area of water. They have a higher chance of bites from the depth of the pike, which falls on the vent, lure, balancer.
White fish can also be caught, but first you should feed the fishing spot well. The main bait for it in the wilderness is bloodworm. But if you want to catch a chub, then local individuals are very greedy for ordinary fat.
February on the Karelian reservoirs is also unpromising for fishing and in this respect differs little from the first month of the year. In the northern regions, frosts are fierce. In the south, they are smaller, but still cause a lot of problems for fishermen. Yes, and thick ice becomes a real obstacle, since drilling it requires perseverance and a lot of strength.
Usually, local fishermen do not go out on the ice in February. It is believed that the bite is practically absent this month, the fish is so lethargic that it does not even want to move, let alone be interested in some kind of bait. It takes a lot of effort to catch her, and without ingenuity there is nothing to do here.
The situation improves towards the end of February. The fish become more active, pike and perch begin to be caught more often, ruff bites more intensively, later, by the end of the month, roach joins them.
Gear for winter fishing in Karelia
They catch fish from the ice in Karelian reservoirs with a variety of gear. They are similar to those used by ice fishing enthusiasts in other domestic regions. On a predator (zander, pike), vertical lure with baubles and balancers is popular. They are caught by setting up supplies, vents.
Striped whales go well on small baubles, respond to mormyshka with replanting bloodworms, maggots, and worms. For white fish, winter fishing rods with floats are used - they are installed permanently, and fishing places are fed through the holes.
Burbot in the reservoirs of Karelia is caught mainly on hooks. They are placed at night, and with the onset of the morning they will check and remove the prey. The bait (worms, pieces of fish, meat, offal of chickens, is placed at the bottom.

Vodlozero is a Russian lake (reservoir) in the Pudozh region of the Republic of Karelia.
The area of the water mirror is 322 km². The lake is 36.2 km long and 15.9 km wide. The average depth is 2.8 m, the maximum depth is 16.3 m. The volume of enclosed water is 0.91 km³. Vodlozero is the 7th lake of the Republic of Karelia and the 39th lake of Russia in terms of water surface area.
Vodlozero is characterized by an elongated oval shape with capes protruding far into the reservoir. The lake is elongated from north to south, divided into three reaches: southern, central and northern. The deepest stretch is the central one, its maximum depth is about 20 m. The shores of the lake are low, rocky. Length coastline 232 km. The bottom relief is complex: along with flat areas, shallows and sharp depressions are noted. The features of the relief are due to the movement of the glacier in the past.
The lake usually freezes in November and opens up in late April - early May. In summer, due to shallow water, it warms up well. A coniferous forest grows along the shores of the lake, consisting of spruce, pine and larch.
There are 196 islands on the lake with total area 34 km². Most major islands: Kanzanavolok, Kolgostrov, Velikostrov, Pelgostrov, Shuyostrov, Okhtom, Ragunovo, Vygostrov, Mary, Kingostrov.
The Vama and Dry Vodla rivers flow from Vodlozero, the Ileksa and Kelka rivers flow into it.
The largest settlement is the village of Kuganovolok, located on a peninsula jutting out into the southern part of the lake.
In 1991, the Vodlozersky National Park was formed, on the territory of which the lake is located.
Fish
The lake is characterized by high fish productivity. The fish community is formed from 20 species belonging to 9 families. The most massive are vendace, whitefish, bream, pike perch, ide, perch, pike, roach, burbot, smelt, ruff and blue bream; less common are salmon, grayling, smelt, bleak, silver bream, dace, minnow, common sculpin. In commercial terms representatives of cyprinid, perch and smelt predominate.
05:30 am June 9, 2012. Convulsively finishing their coffee, all three crews are loaded into cars in different parts of the city. To meet at a gas station in Razmetelevo, near Vsevolozhsk. Kesha@Ko's crew arrives first, two more teams arrive almost immediately (Sergei + Olga Volodichi and Sergei + Irina Kazakov). We greet, yawn and start off in three cars. Ahead - six hundred kilometers, transit Vologda Region, in the minds - plans and expectations. How many of these trips have already been, how many more there will be ... The purpose of this trip is the Vodlozero National Park in Karelia. In Podporozhye we have breakfast, in Vytegra we have an ice cream snack, in Pudozh we have lunch. Everything is delicious and cheap. Asphalt is replaced by a grader, a grader - again by asphalt. Jokes on the radio, fields and groves outside the window - Russia is rich in beauty. An ideal day - we are not late for anything, the mood of all six is excellent.
We drive to Kuganavolok. We get acquainted and immediately fall unconditionally in love with the guide - Nikolai Mikhailovich Osipov, who ferries us to the island of Kazanavolok on a boat with two walkers, ready to become our home for the next two days.
The eyes do not know which way to look in order to see everything and not miss the slightest piece of this part of Karelia.
Islands overgrown with pines and, surprisingly, with larches (as it turned out, this is where the range of this tree ends), seagulls cooing over the lake, swallows building their nests under the roofs of chapels, locals, dissecting on motor boats and boats along the Vodlozero, like residents of megacities in cars. I want to spread my arms as wide as possible and hug it all at once, at the same time, and keep it inside me forever.
The house we live in is a real home. With a Russian stove, with short felt boots at the entrance (exit?), with earthenware and self-knitted rugs on the floor. And from the windows - dandelion fields and birches.
The first evening passes calmly and unhurriedly - to match the unhurried beauty around. We eat kebabs, drink beer, fish (fish is caught by the female part of the group represented by Olya and Ira). We go to bed early - early morning rise, long road and tomorrow's plans hint at the fact that you need to get enough sleep.
We wake up in the morning, have breakfast with porridge (unfortunately, not hearty Russian porridge, but just oatmeal from bags that does not require cooking, seasoned with chemical fruit flavors).
Nikolai Mikhailovich knocks on the door - he undertook to arrange water excursions around Vodlozero for us. We sit in a large motor boat, some even put on life jackets and set off towards a new day. The sun, the seething water astern and the mood - it couldn't be better. Nikolai Mikhailovich entertains with stories and stories from the life of the Vodlozero residents, shouting over the noise of the engine. We learn something interesting about every island, every village. And it is told in such a competent language, without the slightest touch of rustic simplicity, that you are amazed.
The first stop is at the Ilyinsky churchyard. Like many churches, churchyards and monasteries in Russia, the view of this place is by no means blooming, but, which cannot but rejoice, it is recovering. While Osipov Nikolai Mikhailovich was talking with the abbot, we went on an excursion to main temple churchyard.
The tour is conducted by a young blond monk, who is far from Nikolai Mikhailovich in eloquence and knowledge of history, but at the very least he answers our questions and tries to tell something about the churchyard. Too bad you can't ring the bell in the belfry. We go down. And by we're going on the trail to one very interesting birch.
Multi-stemmed birches are practically a visiting card of this part of Karelia. But such a birch, as they say, the world has not yet seen. It is called "The Birch of the Twelve Apostles". Because she has twelve trunks, neither more nor less. Fenced with a small fence, it flaunts in the middle of the forest. But we notice an interesting detail - near the ground, the saw cut of the thirteenth trunk is too clearly visible! Apparently, the monks cut down an extra trunk to give the biblical name to the tree - the thirteenth trunk was clearly superfluous.
Saying goodbye to the Ilyinsky churchyard, giving the hegumen some money to restore the temple, we sail (we go? we go?) further. And again - water, splashes in the face, the sun, islands with blackened houses from time to time - either residential, or abandoned and destroyed. And again - a story about each island and village. And the same goes for every house. We have never met a better guide.
We stop at Kolgostrov, in the village where our guide spent his childhood. Half a century ago there was a shop here, and residential buildings and children running around with sweets in their pockets, and now there are one and a half abandoned houses and huge fields of pansies and buttercups.
We have lunch at Gost Navolok, where the boys lay another hiding place, and the girls collect sorrel to add to make soup from concentrates a little bit like a normal soup. Unfortunately, the sorrel then has to be thrown away - as it turned out, the entire green cover of the island was recently treated with something that reduces the number of either mosquitoes or someone else. And sorrel can accidentally reduce our numbers as well. We eat soup, seasoned with stew and potatoes - for density.
We cross over to Koskasalma, where Nikolai Mikhailovich, who knows every inhabitant of Vodlozero, takes us to a house in which a tree turns into the only possible way movement - in boats, huge strong scows. We get acquainted with a six-year-old sociable boy Misha, we find a GAZ-69 standing on an eternal joke and an old wooden swing, surprising with its durability. We go into the chapel, the walls of which have preserved pencil inscriptions dating back to the sixties and saying that at that time some caretakers were sitting here - “Bran to the pig farm, 1968”.
The next stop is Varishpelda, where the very stern, albeit relatively young mother Natalya, the owner of painted eyelashes, first scolds us for entering the chapel without asking, and then talks to us about Nikon's times. Students of the Mukhinsky School practice in the village, here and there drawing views of the lake. Goats, sheep and horses grazed on the island. We take pictures of both.
After Varishpelda we return "home". A bath is promised (simple and not hot, but the main thing is to wash yourself?). But the bath is independently transferred to the next day. The boys are frying fish, making barbecue again. And all this - under a certain amount of tequila, which by the night (a real Karelian white night), plunges us into going for a walk to the lake, somersaulting in the sand, singing songs, swimming in its original form (the male part of the Keshi@Ko team went swimming ) and hunt a bear - a permanent resident of the island, which is often fed by Nikolai Mikhailovich. The bear, thank God, turned out to be smarter and did not go to communicate with us.
To be honest, I can hardly remember how the evening ended. It seems that after the tequila ended suddenly, they switched to whiskey. Judging by the foggy and blurry photographs, the evening was a success. In Russian, so to speak, they sat. We do not tend to, do not think! Simply - relaxed somehow suddenly for themselves.
Morning all in the same real Russian house began with hesitant climbing out of bed and drinking tea. Some chose not to get off their beds and lie down until dinner, pretending to sleep off the city's problems. But from time to time, caring Nikolai Mikhailovich, who looked in on us, asked what time we could again dive into the boat and go along further route- inspect the decrepit abandoned dam and fish. By dinner, all six members of the traveling team managed to recover.
And again - water, splashes, loudly talking boat motor, Osipov Nikolai Mikhailovich, baiting tales and reflecting on life.
Having examined the dam, we started today's main event - fishing. Klev was. The bite was as if Nikolai Mikhailovich asked the fish to sit on the hooks themselves as soon as they were below the surface of the water. Over our heads now and then flashed fishing lines with fluttering fish and small fish. The little ones were released, the big ones were kept. Nikolai Mikhailovich squinted and chuckled.
< br />
And the evening - the last evening in this region of the most beautiful nature, where people are friends with bears and instead of cars ride boats - was spent eating fish soup, smoked fish and washing themselves in a bathhouse. And it was so good, quiet and calm, that I did not want the onset of tomorrow.
But tomorrow has come. And the weather turned bad - as if sad because of the inevitable parting. Wind, gray skies and strong waves. And we - we collect backpacks and wait - for whom? Again, Nikolai Mikhailovich, who is supposed to take us back to Kuganavolok, where our cars are parked in the courtyard of his house.
In order not to waste time (after all, it is 600 km to go to St. Petersburg), we decided that the girls would go by boat with Nikolai Mikhailovich, and the boys - by the second boat. Independently and in an adult way. In an adult way, it didn’t work out at all. And on their own - very briefly. We stood on the shore and watched how the boat with our husbands, which had taxied into free water, suddenly stood up, and the husbands began to do something and confer with something. Then the boat was carried to the shore and the stones, the Komi coast was generously decorated. The reason is simple, but unpleasant - the motor had a problem with the fuel supply, and besides, a fishing line was wound around the propeller. I remembered the lines about three wise men in one basin. Nikolai Mikhailovich was worried, talked to the boys on the radio, gave some advice and clearly regretted that he had decided to save time and let the city dwellers set off to meet the elements. As a result, they returned back again in two stages - first the boys, then the girls. With the helmsman Osipov.
And now - the cars are rolled out onto the road. And the way back. Sad. Because the past three days were so positive, bright, beautiful and calm for all of us that it was a pity to end them. Not a single moment of dissatisfaction with each other, the weather and other trifles. There was only positive and overwhelming desire to return here again. Which we will definitely do, honestly! And we advise you all to visit this corner of Russia, where time seems to have stopped.
