Fishing on Lake Shchuchye

Northern Kazakhstan is the beauty of diamond lakes and unique flora and fauna, it is the greatness of Kokshetau mountains and exotic rocks of Bayanaul. All lovers of the virgin nature seek here to feel like a part of it.

It is here, between the mountain ranges, there is a unique district - Borovoye. This is a real oasis among stone rocks and feather grass steppes. Local guides call it "Kazakh Switzerland" for picturesque lakes with crystal-clear water, for student keys and gurgling streams, for a mottled carpet of trees and shrubs.

Here, in this fabulously beautiful region, Shchuchye Lake shines on the green cloth of the forest. The combination of mountains, the water surface and coniferous forest creates not only external beauty, but also a unique medical climate. That is why on the shores of the lake there are many sanatoria, tourist bases and boarding houses.

The name "Shchuch'ye" speaks for itself: a lot of pike is found here. Therefore, it is attractive for all lovers to sit at the zorka with a fishing rod or enjoy an evening bite.

This is a fairly large lake: its length is 7 km, width - 3 km, and the depth in some places reaches 23 meters. From a bird's eye view, it looks like a small dinosaur or seahorse. Previously, many streams flowed into the lake, and only one Kylshakt flowed. Today, the connection between the river and the lake was interrupted - it is becoming shallow.

Coniferous forest, mountains, clean air, saturated with the aroma of grasses create a unique microclimate in these places. There are more sunny days here than anywhere else in the middle lane. Transparent waters invite both lovers of underwater hunting, and true connoisseurs of fishing. In the lake water not only a lot of fish, but also there are crayfish.

Therefore, attracts tourists to their shores Lake Shchuchye. Kazakhstan is rightfully proud of this small, cozy corner where there are numerous hotels and rest places, there is an opportunity to relax and clean the lungs, go down from the mountains, drink koumiss and take healing mud baths.

Strangely enough, but on our planet there are absolutely similar places. Surrounded by mountains and pine forests, in the Beloyarsk region of the Sverdlovsk Region lies another Shchuchye lake. Ekaterinburg believes that this is the most beautiful lake not only in the surroundings, but all over the world. Although it is located not far from the city itself, but a bad road leading to the shore has done its job - there are not too many holidaymakers in these places.

Here come to the weekend lovers of fishing, to do what they like, to live in tents and to rest from the worldly bustle.

Lake Shchuchye more than justifies its name. It is a real paradise, always guaranteeing fishermen the ideal biting and valuable trophies - large pikes.

The lake itself is very small - only 0.36 square meters. The length of its coastline is about 3 km. The average depth is only a meter, in the deepest places it can be up to three and a half. And the water is amazingly clean and transparent. Especially for holidaymakers there are several arranged sandy beaches.

If desired, you can live here for a long time. Unfortunately, there are no special recreation bases on the lake, but in the huntsman's house you can always find a place to sleep. Although in the summer, you can spend the night in tents, cook an ear at the stake, wash with clean lake water and enjoy the untouched beauty of nature.

And the places here are truly beautiful. Lake Shchuch'ye is very near the Gilevsky waterfall, the threshold of the Revon and Smolinskaya cave. So come and admire.
