In Solnechnogorsk district, in the northern directionfrom the city of Solnechnogorsk, is the purest and largest lake in the Moscow region Senezh. The photo of this reservoir, which is in this article, can not fully convey all of its charm. Every summer thousands of tourists come here searching for peace. They say that the Lake Senezhskoe is rich in fish and is a favorite place for anglers. They can be seen here at any time of the year, even when the pond is covered with a thick layer of ice.
The Lake of Senezh is an artificially createdwater. It is located about 60 kilometers from Moscow, on the outskirts of Solnechnogorsk. The length of the coastline is 16 kilometers, and the area is about nine hectares (the maximum width is three kilometers, and the length is about 5 kilometers). The greatest depth of the lake is 6 meters, and the average is about three meters. The pond has an irregular shape, as numerous bays form uneven contours of the banks. In the bay, which is formed on the site of the mouth of the Sister River, there are small islands (an area of 2 hectares). During the hours of sunset, they are painted in a bright crimson color. Because of this, they were called Malinovs.
The bottom of the lake is muddy, manyseaweed. From Senezh, the Sister River originates. There are many settlements on the lake: towns, villages, villages, etc. Here are the names of some of them: Talaevo, Osipovo, Reino, Timonovo, Vertilino, Zagorje, Gigirevo, Senezh, Bogorodskoe, etc.
Long since the neighborhood of this beautiful pondhave chosen a creative nature. Riot of colors and beautiful landscape attracted poets and writers, artists and musicians. In the late nineteenth century, in search of inspiration in the village of Bogorodskoe came the great Russian painter I. Levitan. He was so impressed by the beauty of the local places that he decided to temporarily settle in the village and wrote his painting "Lake., Rus," which later became one of his best works. Ten kilometers from Lake Senezhskoye was the estate of the genius of the pen of Alexander Blok. The poet often went for walks to the pond. His amazing appearance at different times of the day set up Blok in a creative way. Full of creative ideas, he returned home and took up his pen.
In Soviet times, in search of a beautiful place forHoliday homes of artists came to the commission, consisting of builders and architects, artists and party workers, in Solnechnogorsk. Lake Senezh, or rather its shore, liked everything. Soon the construction of a new Holiday House for artists of Russia "Senezh" began on this site. Thanks to the ecological cleanliness and fresh air around the perimeter, the lake is very popular, various sanatoriums and boarding houses have been built on its banks. In addition, in the summer months on weekends there is an influx of Muscovites to Lake Senezh. Rest here is relatively cheap, especially if you rent a house in the village. As for the vaunted purity of water, this is certainly so. After all, there are no motor vessels on the lake that would pollute the water. But Senezh - a favorite place for windsurfers, kayakers, fans of sailing, etc. By the way, the lake is absolutely not protected from the winds, so it is often possible to see waves.
Until the beginning of the 19th century, Lake Senezh was notremember. In its place was a small lake Guschino. However, when more than 30 locks were erected between the Sister and Istra rivers, more than 30 locks were built (13 on Istra, more than 20 on Sestra), dams and bridges were built, then in the upper Sister River, after absorbing the Guschinino lake, as a result of the increase the volume of water formed a new artificial reservoir - Lake Senezh. From it feed two rivers: Sister and Maseh.
In this artificial pond there is fishrather large size. Here you can find a wide variety of aquatic inhabitants: pike perch, perch, carp, pike, carp, roach, bream and even royal ruff, named in this way because of its large size. Recently, the eels have also started to grow here, which in the clear water of Lake Senezh reach a length of two meters. From the foregoing it follows that of the types of passive rest, the best that Lake Senezh can offer is fishing. What can be nicer than settling on the shore of a beautiful pond, arm fishing and wait, listening to the silence of these places? Probably, many have asked a question about, whether it is possible to find on a popular lake deserted and silent places. Do not forget that the coastline of the lake stretches for almost 20 km, and at such a great distance there is always a secluded place where no one will disturb you.
The best time for catching fish is windy weather,especially when it blows from the south. However, after the northern and western winds in the central part of the reservoir and up to the Malin Islands, abundant fishing begins. In autumn in sunny weather you can hunt for a lake predator - a pike. The end of the pike fishing comes with the first formation of ice. This period lasts until the icy crust disappears completely. But in the winter you can catch perch, ruff, sander, etc. With the onset of spring, bream and ruff are a special activity. Local residents say that fishing is especially successful for these fish during the full moon. In addition, according to old-timers, in local places it is best to fish from the middle of the lake, settling in a boat. Coastal fishing is possible only at night or in the spring.
As fishing on the Lake of Senezh is veryis popular both among residents of nearby settlements, as well as visitors from Moscow and other cities, on the island a base is created that belongs to the Society of Athletes-Fishers.
