About Sioni Reservoir

Located on the Iori River, Sioni is a substantial body of water surrounded by forested hills. It’s a favorite destination for anglers looking to escape Tbilisi for a weekend of camping and fishing.

Fishing Tips

  • Finding a good swim and pre-baiting is highly recommended for carp.
  • Water levels fluctuate significantly depending on the season and irrigation needs, affecting fish location.
  • Long distance casting can be advantageous in shallower bays.

Access

While the main road gets you close, accessing the best fishing spots on the far side of the reservoir requires driving on dirt tracks. A vehicle with good clearance is beneficial.
