“A person can contemplate three things endlessly: flowing water, burning fire and floating clouds”

It is impossible to overestimate the economic importance of rivers. Our region is not usually rich in different types of fresh water: rivers and lakes, groundwater. Currently, in a number of areas of the country, there is an alarming situation associated with a shortage of water or deterioration in its quality. There is a constant need to combat pollution and freshwater depletion. Already now, the cost of preserving and reproducing water quality ranks first among all human costs for environmental protection, and the total cost of fresh water is much higher than the cost of any other type of raw material used.

The purpose of this project is to study the modern use of fresh waters of the Sestra River in the economic and cultural life of people, as well as to assess the environmental situation and ways to solve it.

Introduction

The very existence of humanity and the settlement of people around the planet is directly related to water. At all times, people have strived for rivers and lakes and settled along their banks. What attracted people to them? First of all, rivers are sources of fresh water necessary for drinking and household needs, and sometimes the only means of communication. Rivers and lakes have fed their settlers with fish for thousands of years. And in our time? The desire of people to escape from the reinforced concrete urban jungle into nature and the beauty of rivers is increasing. It is no coincidence that a saying has come down to us from the depths of centuries: “A person can contemplate three things endlessly: flowing water, burning fire and floating clouds.”

The purpose of this project is to study the modern use of fresh water from the Sestra River in the economic and cultural life of people, as well as to assess the environmental situation and ways to solve it.

Description of the research object. Geographical position.

Historical and cultural information from the territory covered

The Sestra River flows.

The main river of the Klin region, Sestra, flows in the Moscow region. It begins in the Solnechnogorsk region, then along the Klin region and flows into the Dubna River in the Taldom region.

The source of the Sestra River is located not far (1500 meters) from the village of Gigerevo in a remote ravine. There are coniferous (spruce) forests with an admixture of birch. Until the 60s, the “Upper Reach” nature reserve of the Klyazma River was located here, not far from the source of the Sestra River - the source of the Klyazma River is also located - to the largest water artery in the country. Suffice it to say that the city of Vladimir, the capital of the ancient Russian state, was located on this river.

The Sestra River does not start from a spring, not from a lake, but water simply appears at the bottom of a ravine and the further downstream, the water content of the river increases and it flows into the Mazekha Bay of Lake Senezh. Before Lake Senezhskoe, the Sestra River is very meandering, passes through thickets of bushes, opening onto the expanse of fields and meadows. The upper reaches of the Sisters are located in hilly areas. Therefore, there are many fast riffles along the river.

After the Sestra River leaves Lake Senezhskoe, it forms another reservoir, this reservoir of fishing significance. There are several ponds here that form a network of carp breeding facilities. Usually in the fall, many ponds are drained and a large amount of fish is poured out, which goes to store shelves not only in Solnechnogorsk, but also in Zelenograd and Moscow. The area here is extremely picturesque. The river's floodplain is quite wide and surrounded by high hills. These hills offer beautiful views into the distance. On the right floodplain bank there are the remains of the Novoe estate. It is significant because the famous Russian writer, author of the novel “War and Peace” Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy came here.

Then the river flows in front of its first fairly large bridge. This is the Tarakanovskoye Highway bridge. This highway is interesting because it leads to the famous A.A. Blok Museum-Reserve “Shakhmatovo”. A. Blok often drove along the Tarakanovskoye Highway and his attention was always attracted by the Bottomless Lake, located 300 meters from the village of Sergeevka, in the floodplain of the river. Sisters, on its left bank. After the Tarakanovskoe Highway, the Sestra begins to accept fairly large tributaries and, beyond the village of Tolstyakovo, turns sharply to the left and now flows not in the north, but in the west. Here the Rokhtalka River flows into it, the clean water that the famous Russian historian V.N. Tatishchev, author of “Russian History from Ancient Times,” loved to drink. His estate is located 3 km. from the river on the left bank. He lived the last years of his life on the Boldino estate, where he died and was buried in the Rozhdestvensky graveyard. An interesting marble sarcophagus with an inventory of his biography has been preserved at his grave. On the other, right bank, the estate of Count Orlov is located. A magnificent birch tree entrance alley leads to Orlov’s estate, passing through a gorgeous linden-tree, centuries-old park. After the Orlova estate, the river enters the aisles of the Klinsky district. Here the wooded part of the area ends, and the river opens onto expanses of meadows. Bizarrely meandering, the river meanders along a wide floodplain among picturesque meadows. In the area of the village of Berezki, the river is blocked by a dam, and there is good fishing here.

A few kilometers later, the river is again blocked by a large dam, already in the outskirts of the city of Klin. Then, on the territory of the city, the river is blocked by 3 more dams. Since the Sestra River is not a very large waterway, the presence of 4 dams within the city makes it quite attractive and makes it possible to use its banks as a city recreation area. In the area of the first large platinum (it was built in 1997) there is an equipped beach and interesting species of fish are bred for organized fishing. On the second dam there is a city boat station in the area of the 4th dam there is a beautiful Maidanovsky Park. P.I. Tchaikovsky lived here for some time. He loved to walk along the bank of his sister’s river, and in winter right along the ice. After Maidanovo, the river flows through an industrial area and, leaving Klin, enters a forested area. Then from the left it receives the Yamuga River - the first largest tributary on its way.

Modern use of the Sestra River

in the economic and cultural life of people

The water in the Sestra River is not clean enough to be used to supply water to residents of settlements located along its banks. In Klin, the water supply system operates on the basis of artesian water, which is extracted from underground by drilling wells and pumping out using electric pumps.

Some state farms use the water of the Sestra River to irrigate farmland, primarily cabbage. There are currently no power plants on the river, although there were some before the Great Patriotic War. But after the destruction they never recovered. Dams on the Sestra River in Akatevo, Klin, and Maidanovo play the role of maintaining a sufficient water level in the river to help prevent its shallowing. There are fish ponds in Vertlino. At the first dam in the city of Klin, various breeds of fish are bred. There is a boat station at the second dam. Clinch residents can rent boats for river trips. Here, the banks of the Sestra are surrounded by beautiful birch groves, walks along which are so loved by the Klin residents.

Assessment of the ecological state of the Sestra River.

In the first section, we already mentioned that the Sestra River comes out of Lake Senezhskoye quite clean. It is not without reason that after the lake the river water is used for breeding carp in fish ponds. In the spring, during floods, isolated manure from the farm in the village of Tolotyakovo may enter the river. Local, small treatment plants discharge wastewater from holiday homes and camps into the river: “Orlovo”, “Akatyevo”, “Belozerki”, “Zvonkiye Golos”. However, these small flows of wastewater, entering the river, are diluted by the large amount of water carried by the Sister.

Approaching the city of Klin, the river is quite clean. But the presence of four dams in the area of the city of Klin causes certain damage to the river, because The water in the dams stagnates. In the summer, this is especially dangerous in hot weather - the water begins to bloom.

However, the most significant damage is caused to the river by the flow of a lime stream into it from the Khimvolokno p/o. This association was built in 1932 and was the largest plant in the city of Klin. In previous years, up to 10,000 people worked there. It must be taken into account that this chemical production and its wastewater are very dangerous. Currently, the Khimvolokno p/o practically does not work and there is practically no waste water. During the last survey of the area where the lime stream flows (it is so called because lime is used to neutralize the chemical elements of the water used in production), it was noted that not such a large amount of water is neutralized by the large flow of the river. It is interesting to note that the limestone stream flows in the former bed of the Catherine Canal, which at the beginning of the 19th century. used as a shipping vessel. This stream flows into the river at the very exit from the city in the area of the so-called Morozovskaya Dacha. Still, not such a large amount of water is neutralized by the large flow of the river.

Of course, the storm drains that run through the city of Klin cause enormous damage to the river. Particularly destructive are oil residues and petroleum products, which abound on asphalt roads and parking lots. We know that the territories of large enterprises, especially motor transport ones, are simply saturated with petroleum products. It is very painful to see how endless streams flow into the river, on the surface of which rainbow spots glitter.

But it must be said that the greatest damage to the ecology of the Sestra River at present is caused by wastewater from the treatment facilities of the city of Klin. Four large iron pipes run from the city to the treatment facilities, which are located on the left bank of the river near the village of Yamuga. They are laid right across the field. They carry wastewater from the entire city and the Khimvolokno p/o. They are poured into a tank, then flow through the so-called rake, where they undergo rough cleaning. Then, foaming and wavering, they pour into two large pools, which have a round shape. Here they also undergo weight cleaning. Then the water enters the blower. There are huge electric pumps here that pump air. Passing through the water, this air saturates it with oxygen. Then the water flows onto the silt sediments. Here are beneficial microbes that actively destroy harmful microbes. The wastewater then flows through gutters and makes its way through several settling ponds. After that, they are discharged through a large pipe into the Sestra River. The pipe is located on a high bank of the river. To prevent the shore from being washed away, a large number of granite blocks were piled at the bottom. The spectacle is impressive - it resembles a real waterfall.

It would be wonderful if in our Central Russia there was such an impressive sight. However, the water entering the river is not clean. Despite the fact that it has traveled a long way through wastewater treatment facilities, it has a dark, cloudy color and an unpleasant odor. Of course, this is no longer the same water that was pumped from the city of Klin. It was freed from mechanical impurities and some chemical elements. It is called conditionally pure, but it is still far from real pure water. It’s painful to see how almost as large a stream of water as our sister catfish pours into the river with noise, foam and splashes. The river seems to shy away from this dark water, begins to press against the right bank, and does not want to connect with this dark, foaming stream. From the top of the hill it is sad to see a river flowing into the distance, divided by sexes. The right half is light and clear, while the left is dark and frothy.

Downstream, the foam disappears from the surface of the water and the water becomes homogeneous, but this water is cloudy and unpleasant.

We know that below the discharge line of conditionally clean water from the treatment facilities of the city of Klin, the Sestra River flows through a meadow floodplain. Before the river is crossed by the Slobodskoy Bridge, the Lutosnya River flows into it on the right. This river is even longer than the Sestra River, but it carries slightly less water. The water in the Lutosnya River is quite clean, there are even crayfish in it. Despite the fact that such a large tributary as Lutosnya dilutes the dirty waters of the Sestra River, it does not become an attractive river. As reported in the newspaper “Serp i Molot”, right up to its confluence with the Yakhroma River, the Sestra River represents an environmental disaster zone. There is no fishing or swimming here.

Ways to solve the environmental situation of the river. Sisters

In 2008, the Klin decision of the Council of Deputies of the Klin Municipal District approved the program “Comprehensive development of water supply and sanitation systems in the city of Klin and the Klin municipal district for 2008-2014.” Which was signed by the Head of the district A.N. Get your hair cut.

In this program, it was noted that the city wastewater treatment plants are located in the area of the village of Yamuga and are designed to receive wastewater in a volume of 30.0 thousand cubic meters. m/day The average daily water discharge in the city of Klin is 32.4 thousand cubic meters. m/day Thus, the treatment plants are overloaded. Currently, a feasibility study has been developed for the technical re-equipment of treatment facilities. Major renovationsludge maps and modernization of central treatment facilities at municipal wastewater treatment plants in Klin. Design of a disinfection plant Wastewater Klin. The water drainage system of the city of Klin includes city sewerage treatment facilities, a gravity-pressure sewer network, and sewage pumping stations. In this program, 154.5 million rubles were allocated for the reconstruction of the sewerage system.

Conclusion

Having studied the geographical location of the Sestra River, familiarized ourselves with the modern use of fresh water from the river in the economic and cultural life of people, and assessed the environmental situation, we can conclude that currently the use and pollution of fresh water has reached such an extent that it is necessary to take urgent measures.

Rivers are one of the main sources of fresh water, arteries of life for humans. Life itself! But they, like humans, have their own temper, rhythm of life. That is why it is so important to study and know rivers in order to live in harmony with them.

Lake Senezh. Because the Sister and flows into and out of Senezh, filling and supplying it with water, the lake can rightfully be considered one of the constituent parts of the river. Senezh is an artificial reservoir. Even during the time of Peter I, a project was drawn up to connect the upper part of the Volga with the Moscow River with a canal, which was supposed to connect the rivers Dubna (a tributary of the Volga) and the Sestra with the Istra, a tributary of the Moscow River. This would shorten the waterway between St. Petersburg and Moscow by more than 1000 miles. But the project was safely forgotten, and only at the end of the first quarter of the 19th century they returned to this issue again. Construction of the canal began in 1826 and was completed only in 1850. In twenty-five years, 8.5 km of waterway between Sestra and Istra, 33 stone locks (including 20 on Sestra), retaining dams and drawbridges and dams were built significantly its left tributary was also changed. Water is big Lake Senezh(of glacial origin), the area of which was previously only 66 hectares. Initially, Senezh was located on the site of the current Mazikha Bay. Thanks to the new lake, the water level in the canal was maintained at a fairly high level. Barges loaded with stones traveled along it to Moscow. But with the construction of the Nikolaev Railway in 1851, the canal was abandoned, since transporting goods along it was more expensive. The canal gradually fell into disrepair, and in 1860 the water system was closed. Only the remains of the previous structures have survived to this day, and Lake Senezh soon acquired the appearance of a natural reservoir. The area of the “modern” Senezh at a normal retaining level is about 850 hectares, and now it is the largest lake in the Moscow region. Its shape is irregular, lobed, due to the bays that form it the Sestra and Mazikha rivers.

The greatest length is 5.3 km, width is 3.8 km. Coastline without significant bays and bays. The western and eastern banks are mostly elevated, the southern one is low, and the northern one is formed by a dam about 1.5 km long, along the crest of which an asphalt road is laid in the direction of the village of Ti-monovo. The total length of the coastline is 16 km. The Senezh is fed mainly by Sestra and Mazikha, numerous springs in their beds, and atmospheric precipitation. During the year, the water level in the lake changes slightly, as a rule, by no more than 0.51.5 m, while its area can be reduced to 700 hectares. Senezh belongs to low-flowing reservoirs. The bottom relief is mostly flat, without steep slopes, edges or ledges. The soils covering the bed are mostly silty and only in the area of the dam and the northwestern part of Senezh are pebble-sandy. The maximum depths of the lake (5-6 m) are located in its near-dam part, as well as in the vein lake basin of Old Senezh, the average values are within 2.5-3.0 m. Recently, Senezh has become heavily overgrown and swamped, especially in the bay Sisters and in the adjacent areas. In summer, huge reed and reed thickets, endless plantations of pondweed, uruti and elodea form here. As a result, such phenomena as fish death due to lack of oxygen are not uncommon, and their occurrence has been noted both in winter, when plants die and decompose, and in the summer heat, especially in the early morning hours when aquatic flora does not release, but absorbs oxygen.

Ichthyofauna of Senezh has been formed over decades. Initially, before it was filled, the fish population consisted of roach, perch, pike, ruff, crucian carp, tench, bleak and verkhovka. Only in the 50-70s of the last century, in order to acclimatize and expand the species composition, juveniles of mirror carp, carp, silver crucian carp, developing caviar, larvae and fry of bream, pike perch and eel began to be regularly released into the lake. A small hatchery for pike reproduction was built. It must be said that not all acclimatizers showed themselves to the fullest. So, for example, at first, pike perch took root well, even for some time supplanting the native pike, and began to be regularly caught by fishermen mainly using live bait gear - circles and baits, and less often with spinning rods. Some specimens reached a mass of 5-8 kg or more. But now, when the reservoir has become heavily overgrown, the already few natural spawning grounds are being reduced, stocking has almost completely stopped, and the number of predators has dropped sharply. The same thing happens with eels. As for carp, its natural spawning in the climate of the Moscow region is not always possible due to lack of heat. As a result, the carp population today is extremely small. But anglers are pleased with perch, roach, bleak, pike, ruff, bream, and tench.

The number of these species still remains sufficient; Senezh is a difficult reservoir. Not everyone, even an experienced fisherman, can immediately adapt to its conditions and start successfully fishing overnight. This requires patience, observation, and experience that comes with time. The pickiness of the fish, it seems to me, is largely due to the rich food supply of the lake. In silt deposits, in thickets of aquatic plants, in the pelagic layer of water there live numerous accumulations of oligochaetes, chironomids, phyto and zooplankton, all kinds of mollusks, leeches, dragonfly larvae and other food organisms. Therefore, Senezh fish does not lack high-calorie natural food during most of the open water season. Active biting of white fish has a pronounced periodicity. Only with significant warming of the water, usually occurring at the end of the first ten days of May, does active pre-spawning biting for roach, bleak and bream begin. Fishing is practiced with all kinds of float gear. The most popular baits are bloodworms, maggots, their combination - “sandwich”, as well as dragonfly larvae, semolina, oatmeal, dough, etc. However, it must be taken into account that without high-quality, balanced bait one cannot count on good results. Successful hunting of Senezh predators with a spinning rod, as practice shows, is possible as there are very few convenient places for fishing from the shore. Considering the strong overgrowth of the lake, the most effective bait models are non-clinging options.

When fishing for pike and perch, oscillating spoons with hooks protected by wire cutters, converted “spinners,” various plastic baits on offset hooks, as well as plastic worms on a “Carolina” rig have brought me success more than once. Their placement should be uneven, wavy, and carried out in the middle water horizon. In addition to them, some floating wobblers, poppers, as well as very effective Snag Proof rubber frogs also work well. The most productive time for fishing with a spinning rod is August-October. Winter fishing on Senezh usually begins in the second ten days of November. First, Old Senezh rises, and in calm frosty weather the entire lake freezes at once. Less reliable ice remains only in the middle part, which must always be remembered. Despite its considerable size, in terms of its hydrochemical, in particular oxygen, regime, Senezh, in my opinion, is comparable to a very large pond. Therefore, the activity of fish in winter, as in summer in open water, here has a pronounced periodicity. The most productive time is the first ice. lasting no more than 2-3 weeks from the moment of freeze-up, when numerous aquatic vegetation has not begun to intensively decompose and the oxygen concentration is still sufficient, as well as the “last” ice - literally a week to a week and a half before it melts, when the reservoir is saturated with oxygen due to melt water . The rest of the time, the fish bite is usually sluggish. The methods and techniques of winter fishing on Senezh are basically the same as on other bodies of water. Fishing is practiced with a jig (with a nozzle and without a reel), "devil", float tackle, lures using vertical or horizontal baits. In addition, sometimes zherlites also bring success. Despite the unpredictability and vagaries of biting, Senezh still remains one of the most popular and beloved reservoirs of fishermen in the Moscow region.

Upstream

The upper reaches of the Sestra are located among the numerous hills of the moraine Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge. After the Senezh dam, the channel of the Sestra passes through a vast lowland area, where it immediately gets lost among the Senezhskoe carp fish farm located here. In autumn, when water is released from the ponds, the river flows along their bottom. Below the ponds, the winding bed of the Sister makes its way surrounded by numerous thickets of willow, alder, nettle, wild cucumber and hops, and other woody and herbaceous plants. The flow direction of the small river is north. Beyond the village of Sergeevka, the Sister flows along the old Catherine Canal. In the channel, whose width is 58 m and depth - 0.4-0.7 m, there are large stones, small riffles, and the remains of piles of old destroyed bridges. Having passed the right-bank village of Tolstyakovo, numerous dachas and cottages, Sister turns sharply to the west and enters a narrow but very picturesque valley, overgrown with a dense spruce and birch forest. The speed of the current increases sharply, reaching 0.3-0.4 m/s, there are still many large stones in the riverbed, there are riffles, and springs appear along the water's edge. Over a distance of 8-10 km to the village of Gorbovo, several small, more stream-like tributaries flow into the Sestra. Among them are the rivers Zheludovka, which flows in on the left, and Rakh-talka, which replenishes the Sister on the right. Just downstream of Gorbovo there is an old destroyed dam, and in front of the left-bank village of Shakhmatovo, known from the nearby estate of A. A. Blok, there is a bridge on the road leading to the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway. Another 7-9 km Sestra flows framed by good coniferous forests, gradually leaning towards the north-west direction. Then it comes out onto a treeless area of the area, which, with the exception of a small green area on the right bank, continues all the way to the city of Klin. In the area of the village of Belozerki, Sestra turns sharply to the west for some time, crossing the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway and forming a lake-like expansion, and after another 4-5 km, at the level of the village of Sokhino, it rushes in a northerly direction. Along this length it is replenished by small tributaries, including the Zhukovsky and Bezymyanny streams and the Zhornovka River.

To the right of Sister the old Catherine Canal stretches, in places connecting with the river bed. A large modern dam was built in Klin, supporting a riverbed reservoir stretching for more than 2.5 km. Its maximum width reaches almost 100 m, its depth is about 2-4 m. Recently, it has become a cultural fishery, which is periodically stocked with carp, silver carp, etc. Fishing here is paid. Behind the dam the river takes in! the same appearance throughout! Almost 15 km flows through the urban areas of Klin, once again crossing the Moscow - St. Petersburg highway. The ecology of the river is undergoing dramatic changes. If in the upper reaches the hydrochemical composition of the water more or less corresponds to natural standards, now domestic and industrial wastewater from city wastewater treatment plants, including from the Khimvolokno enterprise, which produces fishing line, is known to many generations of fishermen. Water Sisters becomes undrinkable for a long time! From a fisherman’s point of view, not all sections of the upper reaches of the Sestra are equal. The reservoirs of the Senezhsky fish farm are of undoubted interest to lovers of carp and crucian fishing. There are at least two ponds here for paid fishing, which are regularly stocked with different-sized carp and crucian carp. Moreover, in one of them, individuals of exclusively breeding stock are concentrated, differing in non-standard dimensions. True, the price of fishing here is also extremely high. Fishing in ponds is possible with almost all known gear, ranging from trivial ones - a float rod and a cast-iron with feeders to a modern plug or feeder and specialized carp rods on Rod-Pod stands with electronic bite alarms. A wide variety of baits of animal (worm, maggot, bloodworm) and vegetable (corn, pearl barley, semolina, all kinds of boilies, Hercules oatmeal dough, etc.) origin is used. Particularly popular is dough prepared on the basis of specialized carp feed. Similar fishing is practiced in the dammed reservoir in Klin. Along with specially introduced carp and crucian carp, the ichthyofauna of the reservoir is complemented by native fish - roach, bream, pike, perch. The Sister herself is not distinguished by a special variety of species. Here you can find bleak, roach, perch, redfish and ruff; only occasionally dace, medium-sized pike and chub. The most productive time for catching them is spring and early summer, the most popular gear is wire fishing rod with rings and .

Middle reaches and lower reaches of the Sestra River

Having passed the city of Klin, after 7 km Sestra accepts another tributary on the left - the Yamuga River and sharply changes the direction of movement from north-west to north-east. After that, it flows for almost 40 km, to the village of Trekhsvyatskoye, through an uninhabited area. First, for 912 km, the river is surrounded by a mature mixed forest, then by a wide, treeless floodplain. The left bank is significantly higher than the right bank for a long distance. Along it, at a distance of 300-500 m, there is a road in the direction of the village of Birevo. The width of the river at low water here is about 10-12 m, the flow is smooth, calm, and its speed is a little more than 1 km/h. The soils covering the bottom are mostly sandy. Closer to the mouth of a fairly large right tributary, the Lutosni Sestra River, gradually changes direction to the east. Forests again begin to approach its left bank, and along the right bank, swampy floodplain, flows the right tributary - the Lyutenka River, which flows into the Sestra just above Lutosnya. A noticeable right tributary of the Lutosnya in the lower reaches makes its way through open, partly swampy terrain. After taking it, entering the open floodplain, Sister becomes wider and full of water. Its banks are significantly lowered, and the channel expands to 1520 m, the depth is on average 1.3 m, the flow speed remains the same. To the left and right, along the bush-covered banks, are scattered numerous, often horseshoe-shaped, oxbow lakes connecting to the main channel, small floodplain lakes and irrigation canals. In 4 km Sister crosses the Shevlyakovo - Sloboda highway with a reinforced concrete bridge, and after another 8 km - the bridge of the Slobodka - Vatolino road. Near the bridges there is a possibility of access to the water. Now a beautiful coniferous forest again approaches the right, high and steep bank. Slightly higher than stretched along rivers of the village of Trekhsvyatskogo to Sestra another tributary flows in from the left Berezovka river, and 2 km below is the mouth of the Sundysh River.

Behind Trekhsvyatsky, at a distance of 7 km, are the villages of Olsovo and Ust-Pristan. It is from here that the most promising and interesting section of the river for anglers begins. Having passed under the next bridge, the Sister on the right receives the main, largest tributary - the Yakhroma River, and at the confluence it is almost one and a half times narrower than its tributary. The ancient trading village of Ust-Pristan has long been an important transshipment point. Goods that arrived along the Sestra from the Volga went from here further along Yakhroma to Dmitrov. Below the mouth of the Yakhoma, the river turns north, the current slows down even more, the channel widens significantly, in some places reaching 3050 m, the depth increases to an average of 2.0 m. The bottom is still sandy. Deep places begin to regularly alternate with shallow rapids and minor riffles. Sister here it seems to be woven from whirlpools, holes and long reaches with calmly running water. Occasionally along the shores there are sandy beaches and spits. The bedrock banks themselves become quite high (12-15 m) and steep. Since the current is not strong, in summer the shallow waters of the Sisters become heavily overgrown. Accumulations of reeds, sedges, egg capsules, pondweed, hornwort and other aquatic plants appear both along the water’s edge and in its thickness, which creates certain difficulties for fishermen. The population around Sister is increasing somewhat. One after another, the villages of Pustyn, Nizhnevo, Dulovo appear on its banks... The village of Pustyn (formerly called Bear Pustyn) stands on a steep northeast bend of Sestra. It is famous for its ancient monastery (1472) and the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary located in it (1556). A dirt and gravel road runs along the right bank in the direction of Ust-Pristan - Nizhnevo. Here the river makes a very steep but picturesque bend. Starting from Dulov and almost to the mouth of the river, it flows along the border of the Moscow and Tver regions. Having passed the village, it enters a forest area, I approach both its banks for a distance of about 7 km. Further, the right bank becomes open, in
In the immediate vicinity there is a highway in the direction of Dmitrov - Meldino. There are villages and villages here: Dro-chevo, Dutshevo, Isakovo, Nazarovo, Lipino, Tishino...

Just below the village of Dutshevo on the river there are ruins of a once operating local power station. Despite the fact that the dam is practically gone, a slight backwater of water still spreads up the river, creating attractive places for fish and anglers. Right here Sister it is replenished by subsequent tributaries: the Dyatlovka River, and after another 9 km the Krutets River, which flows in from the left. The sister gradually turns to the northeast, simultaneously forming large, smooth bends. At the Karmanovo station of the Savelovsky direction of the railway, it passes under the Moscow Canal, after which it forms two sharp bends and soon, near the village of Ustye-Strelka, flows into Dubna.

In terms of fishing, the average and lower reaches of Sestra, of course, the most interesting and promising. Almost all categories of fishermen can express themselves here: floaters and spinning anglers, jigs and fly-fishers, bottom fishers... Roach, perch, bleak, ruffe, pike and chub are found everywhere here. Moreover, as they approach the lower reaches of the river, their numbers increase. From numerous floodplain lakes and oxbow lakes, silver crucian carp has entered Sestra and is doing well. During the spring flood, large quantities of bream, silver bream, roach, chub, and ide rise here from the Volga and Dubna in large quantities to spawn and feed. In some years, even sabrefish were caught, and in the pre-estuary area there is a possibility of encountering asp and pike-perch, and there was once a catfish...

Fishing season on Sestra begins almost immediately after the river opens up and the ice melts, when small snow thawed patches are just beginning to appear along the banks. For the first week and a half, while the water remains unturbided by groundwater runoff and the current is not strong, effective fishing with a float rod for medium-sized chubs and silver bream is possible here. The only attachment at this point is a bloodworm, and the main components of success are the finest equipment, high maneuverability, stealth of movement, and good choice of location. It is not necessary to use bait during this period. With the arrival of warmth, the water in Sestra rises sharply, overflowing its banks in low-lying areas, flooding the floodplain. This period is considered “dead” for fishermen. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that a significant part of the Sestra valley and its main tributary, the Yakhroma, is plowed under fields, the runoff from which pollutes the river for 1.52 weeks. This must be taken into account when going fishing. When the flood ends and the water gradually clears, Sister A large number of migratory fish rise from the Volga and Dubna. At this moment, in areas with intense currents, fishing is successful with a float fishing rod and half-bottom, as well as with a light picker or feeder. In the lower reaches of the Sisters Where the current is noticeably weaker and the river is wider, many anglers also use plug rods with shortened, delicate equipment. The main bait at this time is a dung or earthworm, caddisfly, as well as bloodworms and maggots. as the water temperature rises, it begins to bring more tangible results, and anglers no longer have to move from one place to another several times in looking for fish.

As the water warms up and the water area becomes overgrown, the most effective tackle becomes a summer jig with a side nod, and there is no need for a particularly long rod, a 6-meter one is enough. In the “windows” among aquatic plants you can find a wide variety of fish: from small roach and bleak to large bream, crucian carp, and chub. From predators on Sister You can hunt for chub, which has recently become the most numerous, as well as pike. However, due to the strong overgrowth of rivers, spinning fishing has its own difficulties associated with both the choice of specific fishing spots and the selection of bait. In areas free of vegetation and in fairly fast currents, small spinners work well ( Long or Comet petal N91-3), minnow type wobblers, in some places - light and . The key to success is frequent changes of places and maneuverability. In winter, fishing on Sestra does not stop. True, there are certain difficulties, the main one of which is the impossibility of access directly to the river. Even in those places where the highway comes quite close to the river, you still have to walk through deep snow for at least 200-300 m. In general, ice fishing is practiced along the numerous whirlpools and reaches in this area. Considering that in winter the current speed decreases even more due to the minimum water level, the main gear here is a winter fishing rod with a nod and a jig. It is also possible to have a float rig with a hook. True, there are no particularly rich catches, but small and medium-sized perch, as well as roach, are regularly pecked almost all winter. During prolonged thaws, you can count on catching a decent chub, and with spring warming, the bleak bite usually begins.

In conclusion, we cannot help but touch upon such a problem as poaching. Like most of our other rivers in the middle zone, it flourishes on the Sister. Here, in addition to the already “talk of the town” electric fishing rods and “network operators”, grabbers of a somewhat different kind also ply their trade. On no other river, except, perhaps, the Dubna, into which the Sestra flows, have I seen so many fundamentally (for more than one year) “cranes” installed along the banks - devices for lifting fish with “spiders”. Moreover, the dimensions of the “spider” lifts themselves are also impressive: 2x2, 3x3, and even more! The most important thing is that “non-humans” hunt for them exclusively in the spring, when the fish, having gathered in schools, rise along the Sister to the spawning grounds to perform the sacrament of procreation, precisely at the time when the two-month period for the protection of the reproduction of fish stocks is in effect, when even sports gear for amateur fishermen are limited... Naturally, the producers scoop everything up without a trace, and no one cares. And if you are tired of the reservoirs of the Moscow region, then private hotels in Sochi are suitable for your conditions. Why private hotels? Yes, because you live there like at home, and this has a positive effect on your vacation.

Sestra is a river in the Solnechnogorsk, Klin and Taldom districts of the Moscow region, as well as in the Konakovsky district of the Tver region of Russia. The largest (in the Volga basin).

The Sestra River meanders between the hills of the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge. Very picturesque places!

It originates from Lake Senezh. In the lower reaches it flows under the canal named after. Moscow.

The city of Klin is located on Sestra.

The length of the Sister is 138 km, the basin area is 2680 km². The width of the river bed in the upper reaches reaches 10-15 m, the depth is up to one meter, in the lower reaches the width is 20-30 m, the depth is 2-3 m. The food is predominantly snow.

The average annual water flow—38 km from the mouth—is 9.9 m³/s. The sister freezes in November - early December, opens at the end of March - April. .

LAKE SENEZH - SOURCE OF THE SESSRA RIVER Sestra River

Senezh (Senezh Lake) is a lake in the Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region of Russia, on the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge.
The area of the lake is 8.51 km², the drainage basin area is 69.2 km², the maximum length is 5 km, width is up to 3.5 km. The greatest depth is 6 m (average - 2.5-3.5 m). The Sestra River originates from the lake.

On old maps the lake is also called Senezhskoe-Gushchino.
The city of Solnechnogorsk is located on the lake. The following settlements are located along the perimeter of the lake and near it: Vertlino, Gigirevo, Zagorye, Osipovo, Redino, Senezh, Talaevo, Timonovo.
The Senezh railway platform got its name from the lake. Senezh is a popular place for recreation, fishing, windsurfing and kite surfing.
In 1964, one of the streets in Moscow was named in honor of the lake.

Story
The lake is actually a reservoir formed during the construction of the Catherine Canal between the Sestra and Istra rivers, which began in 1826. The purpose of building the canal was to deliver stone from the Volga for the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow (according to other sources, the initiation of the construction of the canal was attributed to Catherine the Great).
The work lasted about 25 years, during which three stone locks, an 8.5 km long canal and a dam were built. The Sestra and Istra rivers were straightened. 13 were built on Istra, and 20 on Sestra, wooden and stone locks of the same size as on the Tikhvin water system.

Subsequently, unable to withstand competition with the Nikolaev railway opened in 1861, the canal was abandoned. After the canal closed to shipping, the wood and stone from which the locks were built were sold at a low price. The local merchant Samokhvalov built them into the best building in Solnechnaya Gora, the same building that now houses the Education Committee.
Now the Catherine Canal is an overgrown, swampy stream, which even local residents know little about.

The lake of glacial origin, which gave the reservoir its name, is now one of the bays in the southern part of the reservoir, called Stary Senezh. According to another version, the lake got its name from Catherine II’s favorite horse, Seneschal.

At the end of the 19th century, Baron Knopp built the first hydroelectric power station in the Moscow region with a capacity of 50 kW on the lake dam. In 1950, to allow tanks to pass through to the military unit, the dam was filled in and expanded, and the hydraulic structures were concreted. Due to the fact that the bottom flow from the lake disappeared (water could only flow over the dam), water exchange in the lake worsened, and it began to become overgrown and silted.
The fish population in the lake currently includes pike perch, bream, perch, roach, pike, and ruff. Tench reaches quite high numbers.
In the summer of 1898, the Russian artist Isaac Levitan lived on the Olenin Bogorodskoye estate near Lake Senezh; it was here that his last painting, “Lake. Rus".
In 2004, to develop standard small-scale energy projects at the reservoir dam, the hydropower plant of Baron Knopp was almost restored, an inactive wind mini-hydroelectric power station was built, consisting of two hydroelectric units 5 kW and 45 kW produced by the Chekhov Power Machine-Building Plant, and one 10 kW wind generator designed by NIIES RAO UES of Russia . Sister River

- a river in the Moscow region of Russia, the right tributary of the Sestra River. On the river are the cities of Yakhroma and Dmitrov.
Before the construction of the canal. Moscow had a length of 78 km, flowing into the river. Sister near the village of Ust-Pristan. Now it is divided by the canal into two parts: the upper one - from the sources to the Yakhroma reservoir, north of the Tourist station of the Savelovskaya railway, the lower one begins to the west of the canal, where the water discharged from the canal merges with the waters of the Yakhroma tributaries - the Volgushi and Iksha.

It originates in a swamp near the village of Martyankovo, Pushkinsky district, on the slopes of the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge, and flows north along a narrow valley. Near the city of Dmitrov, the river falls into a vast (up to 8 km wide) peat basin (the thickness of the peat deposit is up to 14 m), formed in pre-glacial times, it is usually called the Yakhroma floodplain. Such valleys are called pradolins. After 20-25 km along the river, the floodplain merges with the Sestra River valley and passes into the Upper Volga lowland.
Plain type. The food is predominantly snowy. Yakhroma freezes in November - early December, opens at the end of March - April.

The drainage of the Yakhroma floodplain began in 1912. Since 1915, an experimental scientific station has been operating (MOBOS, TsTBOS, now the Dmitrov branch of VNIIMZ). The work carried out at the station made a significant contribution to the study of the properties and evolution of reclaimed peatlands.
For hikers, only the upper reaches of the Yakhroma are interesting, since after the canal the river flows through wetlands and is straightened by the canal. Sometimes kayakers start from the lower reaches of the Yakhroma, hiking along Sestra and Dubna, traveling by train to the Dmitrov station of the Savelovskaya railway and then by bus to the village of Rogachevo.

Recreational fishing
Fishing is common on the Yakhroma Reservoir. It is vast but shallow - the average depth is approximately 3 meters. The reservoir contains large quantities of pike, perch, bream and roach, which come to feed from the canal named after. Moscow. Perch is mostly small, but pike can be caught weighing up to three to four kilograms. The active bite here is only on the first ice and during spring thaws.

In accordance with the new fishing rules of the Federal Fishery Agency for the Volga-Caspian fishery basin from 2009, from source to mouth and the Yakhromskoye reservoir at a distance of 50 meters inland along the entire coastline are considered spawning areas, recreational fishing is limited here. Sister River

DESCRIPTION OF THE RIVER SISTER
The Sestra River is a thoroughbred river with a good pedigree.

In the 19th century, it was a link in the water system that connected the Volga with the Moscow river along the route - Sestra - Istra - Moscow. The carrying capacity of the Sestra River was strengthened by the dug Catherine Canal.
Barges with stone blocks weighing up to 30 tons were floated along the Sestra River for navigation.
The stone was used for the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

Now this is a thing of the past; the Catherine Canal was abandoned in the mid-19th century.

But the Sister River remains a beauty - and what a beauty it is!
The Sestra River meanders between the hills of the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge.
The hills in the vicinity of the Sestra River are so majestic that they are called mountains: Solnechnaya Gora, Raspberry Mountain, Boblovskaya, Spasskaya, Doroshevskaya Mountains...
Here, in the vicinity of the Sestra River, among the vast expanses, many outstanding Russian people lived and worked: scientists D.I. Mendeleev and A.N. Beketov, historian V.N. Tatishchev, composer P.I. Tchaikovsky and poet A.A. Block.
Yes, yes, it is the grandeur of the hills in the vicinity of the Sestra River, their vast expanses that sound in Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s “Sixth Symphony”, that appear before us in the “many miles of blue Russian distances” by Alexander Blok.
To enhance the feeling of flight that captures the traveler in the vicinity of the Sestra River, let's go skiing to these places.
It is convenient to start the path around the Sestra River from the Streglovo platform.
If you arrive to the Sestra River early, you can catch the morning dawn.
There, across the Sestra River, is the Shakhmatovo estate, where Alexander Blok lived from early spring to late autumn from 1881 to 1916.
But Shakhmatov is just a point. Everything around is Bolshoye Shakhmatovo.
You can’t say it better than Andrei Bely: Chess fields and sunsets - these are the “True walls of Blok’s office.”
A little before reaching Boldino, the ancestral estate of the Tatishchevs, where V.N. Tatishchev wrote his “Russian History” - we turn into the famous Prasolovsky forest. Sister River

RAFTING ON THE SESSRA RIVER - REPORT
The Sestra River begins as a small stream in a forest ravine in the Solnechnogorsk region. It passes through a network of small reservoirs and flows into Lake Senezhskoe. After Lake Senezh you make your way through a network of ponds in which fish are bred and raised.
In the floodplain of the river near the village of Sergeevka there is a unique Lake Bezdonnoye - a natural monument. It is small in size, but very deep. After the village Maidanovo Sister overlooks the meadow expanse of the Upper Volga Lowland.
Sister - left tributary of the river. Dubny. Having merged with the Dubnaya River, Mother Volga receives the waters of the Sister after 11 km. The length of Sestra is 138 km, the basin area is 2800 km2. The width of the river bed in the upper reaches reaches 10-15 m, the depth is up to one meter, in the lower reaches the width is 20-30 m, the depth is 2-3 m. The flow along the entire length of the river is calm and leisurely.

Route:
It is better to cast between the village of Razdolye, Klinsky district, Moscow region and the village of Rogachevo, Dmitrovsky district, Moscow region. The Moscow Big Ring runs through there; in any place you like, go deeper into the forest and hit the road. Landing can be done in the area from the village of Drochevo to the village of Tishino. As long as you have enough strength)
There, next to the river, there is a road along which buses go to the train. It is better not to swim further than the village of Tishino. You can get stuck. The maximum length of the route on this section is no more than 45 kilometers. Time for the tour is 2-3 days.

Rafting on the Sestra River was the very first for us. And therefore the most exciting and most memorable! Since for most of us it was the first time on a water trip, organizing this tour was quite difficult. How many times did we have to see each other? How much beer to drink? How many questions can you find answers to? Now you won’t even remember. And the questions were “brilliant”: How will we sail? What will we eat? Where to sleep? What if it rains? What if at night? What if we puncture the boat? What if there are robbers?...

Well, everything seems to have been settled and preparations for the rafting have begun. We bought a boat and rented another one. We borrowed a couple of tents from friends. We made a list of products. And we developed a route.

We decided to carry out the transfer to the route on a hired gazelle. As it turned out later, it is very convenient and not expensive. At 8:00 we were already there. The start of the route begins not far from the village of Rogachevo, near the village of Cherneevo. There is very convenient access, although the equipment will need to be dragged about 100 meters through the forest. While the boats were inflated, we smoked, drank, ate, got ready, we went out onto the river closer to 11:00. What tension reigned then! Now remembering that moment, my soul feels very good. After all, then the beginning of our raftings began.

The Sestra River is more than suitable for rafting. Beautiful landscapes open up from the water; the current is not strong, but still there. You will have to row quite a bit. There are even small rifts. There are small obstacles, overcoming which is a pleasure. The shores are clean. There are villages and villages along the way, but in small numbers, which is very pleasing, because... After our metropolis, I want to be alone with nature. There are also very few fishermen and vacationers on the shore. There are a lot of places to stay overnight. There is something for every taste. We stopped on the right bank of the river. Excellent clearing, beautiful view of the river and most importantly not a soul. In a word, we had a good rest.

In the morning we began to leisurely get ready for our further journey. And then a man comes to us! By bike! With a gun! And shouts:
- What are you doing here?
- Let's raft!
- How do you raft? Where did you come from here?
- We say that they arrived on boats!
-Are you crazy? - The guy is freaking out when he sees the boats. - Here is a reserve with wild boars! You can't be here. It's dangerous here!
Yeah! It was necessary to manage to spend the night in a tent in a forest infested with wild boars. We got ready very quickly. Having calmed down, they began to remember what happened at night. Many remembered that someone was climbing around the tent at night, but everyone was thinking about each other. But as it turned out, no one came out of the tents at night. We came to the conclusion that we were very lucky on our first night on the river. In a word, for an overnight stay you need to use the left bank.

We swim further, the river becomes wider, and the current slows down. Initially we planned to sail to the Karmanovo platform in the Savelovsky direction. Where the Sestra River meets the Canal named after them on its way. Moscow. There we planned to disembark, take the train and go home. It’s good that we didn’t have enough time to swim there, otherwise we would have ended up in a trap. To allow the river water to pass through, a forty-meter concrete tunnel was built, passing under the canal perpendicular to it. Motor ships and barges slowly sail along a wide canal, and the river flows beneath them. Sister. We think we would not be able to swim there, and crossing the canal is quite problematic, given that it is extremely difficult to launch a boat onto the canal due to the concrete banks. And who knows, you can swim there on a rubber boat?

In general, we were lucky for the second time during the rafting. If we had found ourselves there in the evening, without cellular communication and the slightest idea where the nearest road was, then perhaps we would not have rafted again. But everything ended well, realizing that time was short and there was still a long way to go. We decide to go ashore and blow home. Fortunately, we already got enough pleasure from the walk. In two less than full days, we spent about 14(!) hours on the river. And while swimming 20-25 kilometers, on ordinary rubber boats. The most difficult thing was to understand where we were, there were no navigators then, people and settlements were not visible from the river. We had a route map printed on a printer, which was half wet and half torn. Oh, how dear she was to us then. And lo and behold, after analyzing the turns, settlements, etc.
We clearly manage to determine where the river is very close to the road and go ashore. It starts pouring rain. We somehow assemble the boat, on some wet bridge. Someone then, while falling, shouted out a word, which later became partially the basis of our name.

Having packed the boats, we began to leave the forest. We passed the dacha plots onto the road and found ourselves in the village... Drochevo!
Well, there was a laugh. From the river to the village it is about a kilometer walk. There was a stop in the village, and a bus arrived 10 minutes later. and we safely took the train to Dmitrov. It's about an hour's drive to Dmitrov by bus and then another hour and a half by train to Moscow.

This is how our first rafting went. We recommend the Sestra River to everyone with its beautiful and interesting riverbed. Basically, the river runs away from populated areas, which will appeal to wildlife lovers. Because Sister is very far from electric trains, it is better to get on and off the route by minibus, and spend the saved energy on increasing the length of the route. Moreover, it is not at all expensive, as it might seem at first glance.

Klin city, Sestra river

FISHING ON THE SESSRA RIVER
Fishing report: November 02, November 02, Sestra, river

Fishing place: Sestra River in the city of Klin.
Waking up on Saturday at 9 o'clock I went to the window. Through the trees freed from foliage, the river is clearly visible. In the rays of the sun, which rarely peeks through the clouds, water ripples seem to sparkle like silver. Having finished my coffee, I quickly get ready and go fishing, I can’t spend such a beautiful day on something else. As usual, there were a lot of people on the river. Approaching the boat station, I notice a familiar silhouette. This is Anatolych’s friend and part-time neighbor. Who had already been catching roach for live bait since the morning.
By the way, at first she bit quite well. I decided to dedicate a short greeting and about 10 minutes to experiencing and observing the float. In short, I acted as a fan and at the same time thought about a further plan of action. It was decided to go to the island. Arriving at the place, Dmitry attached a live bait and sent it to its native element. Minutes of waiting dragged on, or rather, as it turned out, even hours. I, in turn, decided to break through promising points with iron. Changing points and baits brought results after about an hour. Bringing the lure to the shore out of nowhere I get a blow, a short hook and a fish scurries around on the hook. A few minutes of struggle and a kilo's worth of pike on the shore. The day was a success. Hope for a further positive result grew more and more in the fisherman’s soul. But further attempts to extract fish stock turned out to be unrealistic. Thus passed another beautiful day on the Sestra River.

Fishing report: October 12, Sestra river
Spinning. Catch: 1-3 kilograms
Fishing place: Streglovo-Klin
Good health to all, Colleagues! The day before I visited this well-known river near Moscow in the hope of getting a toothy one and checking out a spin with a reel donated by clients at work and once again making sure that China is... well, in general, it’s the same. The wand turned out to be quite sane, I was even pleased, light, quite neat, bends into a ring and takes out logs, the reel sucks, even though it has 10 balls, anticipating this, I took the second Ultegra with me and rearranged it. I won’t talk about the nuances, there are many of them. Well, I digress.

At 8 o'clock I arrived at the Streglovo station, which is in front of Klin, and along the stream, cursing, I made my way through gullies and rubble, among dried hogweeds taller than a man, to the river. I went down the steep bank in search of the first places to cast. Quite swampy, almost knee-high boots. The first casts with two backs (one with a spinner, the other with a spinner), it became clear that I had hit a snag. Well, this is good, from a perspective point of view, some snags stick out, some are invisible, in general, I quickly parted with a couple of turntables, but didn’t see any bites.

I moved downstream to the dam, there the bank was easily passable and the first fishermen began to meet, as it turned out there were quite a lot of them, but mostly with floats, only a couple of spinning rods - empty. There are a lot of circles on the water, but no pike splashes. A lot of the grass was semi-dead, it was not visible on the surface, but even light spinners had trouble passing through the upper part of the reservoir. I moved along the left bank, closer to the waterworks the constant snags stopped, it wasn’t particularly deep there, but there was no grass and no bites. They are nowhere to be found!

Then I walked through the park to the Sportivnaya Street bridge past the boat station, behind which the river was somewhat more interesting, as it turned out. There are quite a lot of fishermen with live bait fishing rods and they are catching not without success, one had a pike under the two-ruble mark, it inspired me and increased my enthusiasm, especially since the angler still had bites. The surface is covered with leaves, the current is weak, this is a problem.
Well, finally, fortune smiled on me, though it was more like “fortune”, it’s not difficult to cross this river, I waved the turntable to the very opposite bank and with a splash I immediately saw a breaker... it grabbed it. With difficulty I dragged it through some underwater invisible thickets with ultralight, under half a kilo, the most violent type of pike, it was not so much important to pull it out, but how much to fight it, the sea was a blast! He pulled it out!, stroked it and released it.
The switch in my head switched to a positive attitude, began to throw everywhere, even where it was inconvenient, and after walking a few tens of meters I hooked the second one. The same! Only about three meters from the shore, I didn’t have to mess with it, but I saw the bite itself, taking into account the absolutely clear water. I see how the spinner is already approaching the shore, a cloud suddenly appears, and a blow hits my hand. He thanked the fish for the bite and also released him. I moved on to look for the third one, but the section there is short. I reached another bridge, there was a mini-waterfall and after it the river completely changed its type to fast and rapids. In general, in these places there is a Sister for every taste, and a snag, and a reservoir, and a quiet, calm and fast chub.

I looked at my watch, and the time was already approaching 3 o’clock, I was aiming for a decent distance, and the time passed unnoticeably, and with such weather, “The last days of the October Indian summer,” only my feet were buzzing from my boots. Having walked another small part down, I decided to stop and go to the Klin station, looking at the schedule, walk there for about 20-25 minutes slowly. And now, with a lot of positive emotions, barely dragging my feet, I approach the house!

Fishing report: April 07, April 07, Sestra, river
Float tackle. Catch: up to a kilogram
Fishing location: There is a path leading from the road. In the direction of travel - to the right. There are a lot of trees to the left of the road, it’s not comfortable to catch
Good afternoon friends. The weather let us down! We left Zelenograd at 6:00 and arrived at the river at 7. We decided to go early because there were a lot of people expected. And so it happened. There were already 4 cars parked at the bridge. We went out to the river, people were already sitting. By 9-00 there were already more than 20 people in the area 150 meters away. They caught it either with a float or with a jig with a side nod. In the catches of the floaters, the fish were larger than those of those who caught with a jig (Here is an observation). We moved away and started fishing. There was a man standing 5 meters from us; I didn’t see him catch anything, but he fed the fish regularly. The bait didn't work. The first bite came after 30-40 minutes, but... I blew it. In general, I really like to fish in still water; I have never fished in a current. But I really wanted to try it. After 20 minutes there was a bite and... a roach. And everything was cut off. And it started to rain. Strong infection! At 12:30 we got ready to go home. While we were walking along the shore to the car, we started talking with a guy. He, like everyone else, complained about the lack of bite. That weekend..... there was a bite, but today I even refused to take a jig. Everyone's catch was almost lying on the snow and the overall picture was clear - no more than 4-5 pieces.

Fishing report: March 17, Sestra, river
Mormyshka. Catch: 5-10 kilograms
Fishing place: the same
Spring is coming. Until the weak half of humanity has taken off their outerwear and is ready to show off their charms, the men are engaged in fishing. Another trip to Sister. A team of seven people in 3 cars. The two crews drove off the road into a field and... the 4x4 scout buried itself in the snow. Not scary. They carried them out in their arms and decided not to tempt fate and abandoned the cars. The 300 meters to the river were successfully overcome with shortness of breath. Inspection, search for old holes, test. In the old places - nano silver bream and brush. An hour later, the third crew, thanks to the driver’s abilities, independently reached the shore.
Hugging, kissing, dirty jokes, etc. Everyone is here. We continued our search. Lech quietly moved towards the riverbed. For reelless fish - perch, silver bream, white bream. Everything is frying pan. They looked and drilled. A nickel is 20 by 7 meters between the jets. And away we go. For a reelless bait, for one moth with a ring, for a retractor with a hook, for a jig and a leash with a hook - for everything. It was mostly 70-100 grams of silver bream, jumping up to 200 grams. For all of them, the by-catch included small zander, bream, and a couple of crucian carp. Fishing people began to appear. Outside the nickel there is a ruff and a perch. The arrivals alerted us with a story about their approach to the river. About the stuck Pathfinder and some other foreigner. Calling a tractor and a broken road in the place where our team stopped. We decided - there are a lot of people, we’ll carry it in our arms.
We continue fishing. Or rather, fishing. There are at least 30 fish per hole. Deeper - less often, but larger. By 4:00 p.m. there were groans: “It’s time to go home, it’s a long drive, what to do with her.” We remembered about vodka. Sergei said that there was some in the car. He was called an “earthworm” for his disrespect for his comrades. By 5 they began to gather. The fish continued to bite. Fees. They loaded everything they caught into a car that made its way to the shore. GLORY to the domestic auto industry. The Niva passed through all the dangerous sections without any visible effort. Fears for the rest of the transport were not justified. “Japanese” and another “Niva”, competently led by their owners, crawled onto solid ground. We remembered the vodka and the uneaten lard. Success is secured by drinking and eating. Not long goodbyes, assurances of eternal friendship and kisses. Everything is like normal men. Home. The total weight for each person is at least 5 kg. Some comrades are about 10.
The infa just passed. The local blocks off the catchable areas with a net. Yesterday the guys walked through almost nothing there.

In the preface to V.S. Yudin’s book “Our Klinsky Land,” R. Khokhlov writes:

“Emerged in the middle reaches of the Sestra, Klin remained aloof from the main routes for a long time, at the same time playing the (rather passive) role of a kind of “buffer” fortress city in more than two centuries of struggle between Moscow and Tver. Along the Sestra and its tributaries there was a process of settlement of the Klin region in its “prehistoric" period. As archaeological and toponymic data indicate, before the arrival of the Slavs here (which happened no earlier than the 10th century), the autochthonous population of the region were Finno-Ugric and Baltic tribes (mainly known from chronicles tribe "Golyad"). The first left a mark on the map of the region, in particular, in the hydronyms Sestra, etc., the second - in the ethnonym Golyad. Far from the only name on the map of Russia, the Sestra river, according to experts in the field of toponymy, comes from from the Finnish "Sistar-oya" (in modern Finnish "-joki") and means "Blackcurrant River."

The Sister, the main river of the city and region, flows from Lake Senezh. Here is what the author of the book, Valentin Stepanovich Yudin, writes about her:

“It is very winding, passes through thickets of bushes, opening onto the expanse of fields and meadows. The upper reaches of the Sister are located in hilly areas. Therefore, there are many fast riffles along the river. On the way of the Sister today there are the remains of old dams and bridges that once existed in these memorable Old-timers remember that 50 years ago on the Sestra River and many other Klin rivers, almost every village or village had mill dams with large ponds in which fish, crayfish, birds were found... Mill ponds had a beneficial effect on the water regime many local springs, streams, rivers, which provided the full flow of large rivers with their water... Later, in the Klin region, due to mismanagement and negligence, almost all the ponds disappeared... the dams left, rotted on the rivers... Flood waters and ice drift finished them off , destroying the ponds... There were no more fish, crayfish, the grass became coarser, the fertility of the fields and meadows decreased. The flow of the rivers became rapid, and the whirlpools quickly became filled with silt. Flood waters eventually no longer flooded the floodplains, and there were no flood meadows. The waters rush past them in stormy streams. After the flood, the rivers shallowed, turned into streams, or even dried up completely."

These are the results of the activities of the collective farm-socialist system, which raged like an apocalypse for 70 years on the Russian Land, and its follower, the liberal-democratic crook, who has been plundering the country’s natural resources for a quarter of a century and does not connect his fate with the fate of Russia.
