About Ertso Lake
Ertso Lake is a karst lake located in a picturesque, forested depression. Due to its karst nature, the water level can fluctuate significantly depending on the season and underground drainage, sometimes almost entirely drying up in severe droughts.
Fishing Tips
- Check Conditions: Because of the fluctuating water levels, it’s crucial to ask locals about the current state of the lake before traveling.
- Light Tackle: Float fishing with light tackle for crucian carp is the most reliable method when the lake has sufficient water.
Access
Access is via rough dirt roads. A 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended, especially after any rain when the tracks become very muddy.
