About Kvedi Lake

Kvedi Lake was formed relatively recently by a massive landslide that dammed a local river. It sits in a steep, forested gorge in the Racha region. The remnants of submerged trees can still be seen in the water, providing excellent cover for trout.

Fishing Tips

  • Snags: The submerged forest makes bottom fishing nearly impossible. Stick to float fishing or spinning near the surface to avoid losing tackle.
  • Trout: Target the areas where small streams enter the lake, as the water is cooler and more oxygenated there.

Access

Access is via a dirt road from the village of Kvedi. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended, as the road can be rough and steep in sections.
