Summer fishing at the Shchukino recreation center

Shchukino Recreation center is located 130 km from Nizhny Novgorod, on the left bank of the Volga River, and is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Pike, catfish, walleye, asp, bersh, rudd, chub, burbot, ide, bream, bream, perch — this is not a complete list of fish that you can catch on the Volga or nearby lakes. It is not uncommon for our guests to catch pike and walleye weighing up to 8 kg and catfish weighing up to 30 kg.

Sports fishing enthusiasts have long loved Shchukino and regularly come not only to relax, but also to compete with each other. The base has repeatedly become a venue for sport fishing competitions. You can view the reports on them on our RuTube channel Recreation center "Shchukino".

The main trophy on the Volga is the pike

The main trophy on the Volga is the pike, a freshwater predator that reaches impressive size. It's great for spinning. Trophy pike grow to an acceptable size only in a body of water where there are good wintering conditions, as well as in a calm place where anglers disturb the water surface only occasionally, and not constantly. However, fishing luck may not turn around without a guide.

A fishing guide is both a profession and a vocation. By booking the services of a fishing guide, you are guaranteed to enjoy not only the process, but also a good catch. Our guides know all the most "fishy" places and are well—versed in the terrain - they know all the channels and bays of the Volga, nearby lakes. In addition, they all have GIMS rights to operate small vessels. This will allow you to enjoy a trip on a speedboat or a motor boat with a powerful motor, if you yourself do not have such rights.

Pike hunting in summer

Pike fishing in the summer is the most stable compared to other seasons, but in the heat you can easily get into the peckless. Surface fishing is still relevant. Early summer is still a good time to catch this predator.

In June, when fishing by spinning, it is best to use aggressive colors and hunt for fish in shallow water. In July, the heat sets in, and the pike begins to react much worse to the flattering offers of anglers. You can try natural colors for bait and long-lasting wiring. Use wobblers, wobblers and spinning spinners for successful biting in July. From the beginning of August until the middle, the pike behaves unchanged. But towards the end of the month, her appetite begins to wake up and it increases closer to the cold weather. In August, pike fishing completely coincides with fishing in June. With the onset of cold weather, you can try lowering the bait closer to the bottom. You can order the necessary services for comfortable summer fishing when booking a room, indicating this in the note, or immediately after arrival. Have a good fishing trip!
