About Tsalka Reservoir
Situated on the Tsalka plateau, this reservoir offers a stark, beautiful landscape that feels very different from the rest of Georgia. The higher elevation provides relief from the summer heat.
Fishing Tips
- The open nature of the reservoir means it can get very windy, which affects casting and bite detection.
- Feeder fishing is highly effective here for covering distance.
- Look for areas where small streams enter the reservoir.
Access
The road to Tsalka is in good condition, and the shoreline is mostly open and grassy, making it very easy to set up a camp and fish right from your vehicle in many spots.
