About Paravani Lake
Paravani is the largest lake in Georgia, situated at over 2,000 meters above sea level. Its high altitude means the water is cold year-round and freezes completely in winter, making it a unique but challenging fishing destination.
Fishing Tips
- Summer is the best time for fishing, particularly for trout.
- Because the lake is relatively shallow and expansive, long casts and mobility along the shore can be beneficial.
- Keep an eye on the weather; conditions can change rapidly on the plateau.
Access
The road is generally good but can be affected by weather conditions in colder months. The shoreline is expansive and mostly accessible, allowing for plenty of shore fishing and camping spots.
