The river Šventoji flows through the lake. Be careful in winter, in the canal ice is constantly washed from below, so it is not strong. Most commonly caught fish: roach, rudds, basses, breams, pikes.
Some fishermen think that the lake is more attractive in winter as you can reach all the fishy places by ice easily. Try to lure big basses from ice by following old fishermen‘s advice. They lay two winter float fishing rods on the ice and put a big earthworm on the hook. If using metallic lure with mosquito larva lets you catch small basses, an earthworm enables to catch a big one.
