😄Styr River· Volyn Oblast11.08.2026, 15:15Got to the spot around 7:30 PM. Fishing was decent until about 10 PM, I'd say. But the bigger fish really started going crazy at night.
The guys at the next spot over had a pretty good session catching tench at 300–500g on maggots through the night. We wrapped up around 7:00 AM.
In the morning some fish bent my size 6 hook so hard it was basically a straight needle 😅 I'm guessing it was either a bream or a roach.
But here's what we got — check the photo 👇
Released the small ones back in the water, of course. 🎣BreamLive bait fishing146
😏Lake Somin· Volyn Oblast25.07.2026, 22:10Small roach are constantly on the hook, so it's better to use a few corn kernels at once. Sometimes you don't see the bite but the fish is already hanging on the hook.
Caught a bream around 5:30 on the second pier to the right of the beach. A combo of strawberry-flavored corn and maggots did the trick.
You can catch a decent amount of crayfish on a pole rod. Regular worms are the best bait. From 5:30 to 9:00 we managed to catch about 20 crayfish, though a local kid fishing by hand next to us caught around 40 in the same timeframe.
On the downside, there are a lot of nets in the water and the bottom is heavily overgrown in places, which sometimes makes fishing tricky. Overall though, the trip turned out pretty successful.
On the neighboring piers around 6:00 in the morning, anglers pulled out a carp weighing about 6 kg, so there's definitely trophy fish there.
The locals also mentioned that in the "Lilies" area (you can only fish there from a boat) tench bite really well. Regular worms work best.BreamBottom fishing133
