About Jandari Lake
Jandari Lake is a significant body of water in the Kvemo Kartli region, shared between Georgia and Azerbaijan. Its relatively low elevation and warmer waters make it a very productive fishery, especially for carp, catfish, and other coarse species. It is a favored spot for anglers from Rustavi and Tbilisi.
Fishing Tips
- Carp Fishing: Feeder and heavy bottom setups are very popular here for targeting larger carp.
- Catfish: In the warmer months, fishing with large baits (worms, cutbait) in deeper sections can yield catfish.
- Border Considerations: As it is a border lake, ensure you are fishing in permitted areas and do not accidentally cross into neighboring waters without authorization.
Access
The lake is easily accessible from Rustavi via paved and well-maintained dirt roads. The proximity to major urban centers means it can get busy on weekends.
