Volojarvi is a lake in the Leningrad Region. Description, fishing, photo

Lake Voloyarvi (see below for reviews) is located in the Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad Region, 47 km from St. Petersburg. Nearest to the pond is the village of Matox. The area of this peat lake is 332 hectares. It is located at an altitude of 15.9 meters above sea level. Many parts of the coast were bogged down. The bottom is muddy, and the lake itself is very shallow - an average of 2 m. In some places, the depth reaches 4 m, and in some places it generally reaches 8 m due to the existing pits. On the coasts grow forests and shrubs, which in some places are swamped and difficult to traverse.

a brief description of

Volojarvi is a lake that is flowing. From the southern part into it flows a stream, which in the summer hot time completely dries up. And it follows in the north-eastern part, where its width reaches 1 meter. Since recently there are built houses for recreation, then in the river at times are formed glades.

Is it possible to rest?

Volojärvi is a lake, which is attractive only for those tourists, for whom it is more important to enjoy the virgin nature, because it is forbidden to swim in it because of muddy water. And in windy weather, the surface becomes so muddy that nothing can be seen through it.

In addition to amateur anglers, those who prefer to collect mushrooms and berries come here (depending on the season). For the convenience of guests in some parts of the coast of Lake Voloyarvi are built barbecue. Therefore, those tourists who like to eat shish kebabs in nature, can not take them with them, and use the available.

Fishing

Here often come amateur fishing. In the lake Volojarvi live perch, pike, roach, bream, crucian carp. They catch almost any bait. Volojärvi is a lake where you can fish not only in summer, being in a boat, but also in winter, because the pond is covered with a thick layer of ice. In it you need to drill holes, through which to catch ruff and perch. More often than not, they are trapped in trash.

Since the main inhabitants of Volojärvi are small in size, many people think that there is no large fish in this lake. However, such an opinion is deceptive. There were cases of catches up to 3 kg. It all depends on weather conditions, which also need to be taken into account. It should be noted that the small depths of Lake Voloyarvi in different regions are not a hindrance for a large number of representatives of certain species of fish.

Lovers of fishing come here very often, especially those who live in coastal settlements, or rest in cottages.

Fish does not bite in all places. Therefore, inexperienced amateurs, for the first time having come to this region and having failed to catch anything, they decide not to return from disappointment anymore. Because of this, Lake Voloyarvi sometimes loses its vacationers. Fishing, reviews of which from professionals are far from the worst, will develop only if you know in advance about successful places. If you draw conclusions from the comments of people, then it is recommended to fish only from the boat, since it is very inconvenient to be on peaty marshy banks.

How to get to the lake?

It is difficult to get to Lake Voloyarvi, because on the roads often there are pits, and therefore, on average, it reaches a speed of 20 km / h. Although recently, as many tourists noticed, these moats fell asleep, and the path became more convenient.

You can get to this lake, for example, by car or on a rented bus, if you plan a simultaneous trip for a large number of tourists. From St. Petersburg you need to get to Toksov, later - to Matox and from there turn right towards Voloyarvi. Walking this way is not recommended on foot, since the roads are stony.

Finally

Voloyarvi is a lake that is gaining popularity among fishermen and holidaymakers thanks to the impressions of the people who visited here. Mostly they are interested in small underwater representatives. They can easily be folded into matchboxes (professional fishing humor). But, as they are caught in large lots, the catch is several kilograms. Most tourists enjoy the quiet calm nature, which is so lacking in the cultural capital of Russia - St. Petersburg. No one will regret if he comes to this lake to rest and fish. It will justify all expectations.
