Fishing in the Poltava region

The Poltava region is located in the center of Ukraine. The climate here is temperate-continental with mild winters and warm summers. Most of the region is located on the right bank of the Dnieper. Lanshaft is predominantly flat because the Poltava region is part of the East European Plain. The highest point here is 202 meters above sea level. The area is forest deficient therefore on its territory there are 46 reserves and 10 protected tracts.

Everything depends on your desires and possibilities. If you want to enjoy the natural beauty and catch wild fish, then you need to look at the medium and small rivers: Psel, Vorskla, Sura, Horol, Aurel … Well, if your possibilities permit, then safely go to a commercial pond or the Dnieper. Located on it, large reservoirs can provide both fishing catfish and just a great rest. On the shore there are many fishing bases that provide services to hunters and fishermen. Available boats, echosounders and help in finding fish.

Carp lovers have access to more than 700 shopping ponds. The most famous carp pond in the region is «At the mother-in-law» or «Horol». It is only available for sport fishing on the principle of catch-release.

Attention! Fishing in the Poltava region is regulated by the laws and regulations of Ukraine. All fishermen should remember that in the spring, during the ban of the spawning, you can fish in the river only in the permitted places. A list of these places can be found on the website in the «REGULATIONS» section, and also check the dates indicated by me below. I must warn you about the following:

it is prohibited to catch crayfish during spawning and from August 25 to September 30;
the ban on fishing in winter pits begins on November 1, the list of places is available by reference;

Do good …

And throw it into the water … I want to draw your attention to the fact that now the principle of «Catch – release» is very popular in Ukraine. This is promoted by the coolest sportsmen, bloggers and TV presenters. What’s the point of this? It’s very simple: fishing is a pleasure, and every participant of the process must get his portion. And the fish, including 🙂 So do not hesitate to let go of the fish.

I do not urge you to completely abandon the use of the fish that you caught. No! Fish soup and fried crucian, it’s very cool! I just encourage the fishermen to treat the fish with reverence.

And do not forget the catch quota! During the day you can get no more than 3 kg from the public pond. That’s enough!
