About Enguri Reservoir
The Enguri Reservoir is a breathtaking sight, with its turquoise waters contrasting against the steep, forested mountains. Due to its immense depth and steep banks, fishing here is a unique challenge.
Fishing Tips
- The water is very deep close to the shore; finding shallow drop-offs or river inflows is crucial.
- Spinning with heavy lures that sink quickly can be effective for trout.
- Pay attention to the water level, which changes based on hydroelectric generation.
Access
The main road to Svaneti runs along part of the reservoir, offering some pull-offs and access points. However, getting down to the water can be steep and difficult in many places.
