About the Mtkvari at Mtskheta
The Mtkvari (Kura) River flows through Georgia’s ancient capital, Mtskheta. This stretch offers convenient shore fishing for anglers based in Tbilisi who want a quick session without a long drive.
Fishing Tips
- Float fishing with worms and bread works well for carp
- Evening sessions are most productive in summer heat
- Avoid fishing immediately after heavy rain — the river muddies quickly
- Respect local swimmers and tourists near the old town bridge
Regulations Note
Check current national regulations for river fishing licenses before your trip. Some stretches may have seasonal restrictions.
