Fishing area description

The Chivyrkuisky Bay is located North-West of the Baikal Lake on the territory of The Baikal National Park, far away from large cities and towns and not exhausted by industrial fishing. The nearest large populated area, Ust'-Burguzine Village, is 60 km away. At the beginning of the 20^th century this place was one of the most famous among fishermen,  but in the late 70^th the situation changed.  In 1987 The Chivyrkuisky Bay became a part of The Baikal National Park and fishing was restricted, and resumed only recently.   The Chivyrkuisky Bay is not very deep (the average depth is 6-8 meters), and you won't find a better place for fishing.

Fishing season is open from the 10^th of July till the 1^st of September.

The most recommended time for planning your fishing tour at The Chivyrkuisky Bay is from June till mid -July and from late August till the end of September. During the season there is a chance to catch a great number of pike and perch trophies; umber and salmon are also very active at this time. During the season the average weight of a pike trophy is 4 to 8 kg (8 -16 lbs) and perch up to 1 kg (2 lbs).

Every year more than 50 pike trophies with an average weight 13-16 kg (26-32 lbs) are caught, and the record weight of perch trophies is up to 3 kg (6 lbs) and more.

You could hardly think of  ide as a trophy fish, but sometime its weight goes up to 3,5 kg (7 lbs). And the best place for umber and salmon are the numerous rivers that flow into the bay.
