About Dmanisi Reservoir

Also known locally as the Iakublo Reservoir, this body of water serves primarily for irrigation. Located at a moderate elevation, it offers a peaceful setting for anglers looking for steady action with crucian carp and common carp.

Fishing Tips

  • Bait: Classic baits like sweetcorn, worms, and dough baits work very well here for both carp and crucian carp.
  • Float Fishing: A simple float setup in the margins is often all that is needed for a productive day.

Access

The road to the reservoir can be rough in places, so a vehicle with good clearance is beneficial, though not strictly required in dry conditions.
