Saltaim fishing report. Lake Ik, Omsk region: description, features, natural and animal world. Animal and plant life

In the southern part of the West Siberian Plain, between the Irtysh and Ishim rivers, Lake Ik is located. To be precise, it is located in the Krutinsky region. It is part of the Big Krutinsky Lakes system, which also includes the Saltaim and Tenis reservoirs.

Description

Lake Ik has an almost regular round shape, which is distorted only by the slight stretch of the shores from southwest to northeast. The length of the lake is almost 12 km, and its width is more than 8 km; the total length of the coastline stretches for 22 km. The area of ​​the water surface exceeds 71 ​​square meters. km, and the total catchment area is 1190 sq. km.

The lake lies in a deep basin, the slopes of which are quite convex, and in some places even round. Basically, only in some places steep ledges 4-5 m high make it difficult to approach the water. And near the village of Kiterma the steep slopes rise to 6 m.

The coastline for many kilometers is practically bare, which is explained by the poorness of the soil and its active drainage. Only in places does stunted, low-growing vegetation occur (although the southeastern edge of the lake is overgrown with reeds), and trees are generally rare here. As a result, constant winds in a southwesterly direction gradually but inexorably destroy the eastern and northeastern shores of the lake. High waves during bad weather also contribute to abrasion.

Lake Ik in the Omsk region has a flat but muddy bottom. Its depth increases smoothly, reaching its maximum towards the middle of the reservoir. After the mark of 4.75 meters in the very center of the lake, the depth gradually decreases again. Thus, the central part of the reservoir is like the top of an inverted cone.

Ground map of the lake

The soils of this object are not very diverse. The characteristics of the soil composition look like this:

• sandy-silty soil - distributed mainly in the coastal strip at a distance of up to 200-250 meters. Has a slight odor of hydrogen sulfide;
• dark brown silt with various remains of vegetation - found mainly in the western part of the lake at a depth of up to 2 meters;
• gray-green silt - covers the entire central part of the reservoir at a depth of 3.5 to 4.5 meters;
• clayey silt with sand - predominates on the eastern side of the lake.

Water resources

The transparency of the lake fluctuates at around 0.50-0.75 m. Light penetrates especially weakly through the water column in the second half of July, when the reservoir blooms profusely. In other months there is very little flowering.

Water mineralization is low. Oxygen saturation peaks in the summer months, but drops significantly by winter.

The lake is fed mainly by tributaries - the rivers Yaman (flows into the southwestern part) and Krutinka (flows into the southern part). At the same time, a significant share of the water collection falls on the Yaman, since the mouth of Krutinka is heavily silted, and in dry years the water flow is very insignificant. Also, the water level in the lake rises due to precipitation: snow, rain.

Only one river flows out of the lake - Kiterma, which connects Ik with Saltaim with a thin thread. At the source of Kiterma, a peasant-type dam was built in Soviet times, the task of which is to maintain the water level in the lake.

Climate

Lake Ik in the Omsk region lies in a zone of sharply continental climate. In this region, the weather conditions are quite severe: cold winters with an average annual temperature of -19 degrees, short summers with temperatures of +18...+22 degrees, fleeting spring and autumn. In winter and in the off-season, the waters of the lake are covered with ice, which breaks up only in mid-May.

The average precipitation over the past 50 years has remained at 310-540 mm.

Brief historical background

The large Krutinsky lakes in Western Siberia were formed in the Quaternary period. The glacier advancing from the north “pressed” the rivers of the Ob-Irtysh basin. The estuaries united under pressure, and as a result a huge fresh sea was formed. After a couple of thousand years, due to evaporation, the sea was divided into several large lakes. These lakes continued to evaporate, eventually breaking up into even smaller bodies of water. This is how Lake Ik was formed.

Over the years (we are talking about thousands of years), the shores changed shape, the degree of mineralization of the water fell, and rich bottom sediments accumulated at the bottom. As a result, the lake acquired its modern appearance and chemical composition of water.

All reservoirs of Western Siberia, including those located in the Omsk region, are characterized by cyclic changes in water levels, consisting of alternating periods of low and high water. The total duration of the cycle is 55-60 years, while the duration of the low-water and high-water periods is not too different and is 25-30 years, respectively.

For Lake Ik, according to observational data, the most high-water period was observed in 1917-1920, after which a low-water period began, which lasted until 1957-1959. From the late 1950s there was a period of high water again, with water levels peaking in 1971-1973 and later declining again.

Chemical composition of water

Let's continue the story about Lake Ik. Is it possible to swim in its waters? To answer this question, let’s look at the chemical composition of water.

The lake belongs to the group of slightly salted lakes, as it contains a small amount of mineral salts dissolved in the water. It has a slightly alkaline reaction and belongs to the hydrocarbonate class of waters.

Studying the chemical composition of water, scientists came to the conclusion that it constantly contains compounds harmful to humans, such as nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and other pollutants. Moreover, their number increases in the off-season and reaches a critical level in winter. The reason is anthropogenic impact. Sewage from nearby settlements, livestock grazing along the shores of the lake, garbage dumps - all this worsens the ecological condition of Lake Ik from year to year.

For now, you can swim in the lake far from populated areas, but if the state does not take control of the situation, water pollution will become global and provoke an environmental disaster in the region.

Animal and plant life

Lake Ik is known for its interesting arrangement of vegetation in the form of centric zones. The shore has been taken over by sedge and amphibious buckwheat; cattails and reeds descend to the water itself. A few meters from the shore you can see reed thickets. Afterwards, a belt of vegetation formed from different types of duckweed, hornwort and water buttercup. The water column is inhabited by more than 170 species of phytoplankton.

A variety of insects are found on the lake: swimming beetles, dragonflies, and in summer there are many mosquitoes and midges. A muskrat settled nearby. The avifauna is represented by ducks, geese, and waders. The northernmost colony of Dalmatian pelicans, which the locals for some reason call Baba, lives here.

On the Big Krutinsky Lakes, including Lake Ik, the great cormorant seabird nests, which is quite unusual.

What attracts tourists to Lake Ik in these parts is mainly associated with fishing and hunting waterfowl. For this reason, guests come to Krutinka even from Moscow. Let's talk in more detail about fishing, since in these places it has characteristic features.

Lake Ik, Omsk region: fishing

Fishing in the Omsk region is based mainly on the Krutinsky lakes, among which Ik is the most productive. More than 10 species of fish live in the reservoir. Here you can find large numbers of crucian carp, ide, carp, pike, perch, silver carp, whitefish, bream and chebak.

In summer, fishermen successfully fish from the shore and from boats, with the average catch fluctuating around 40 kg. But the most interesting things begin in winter. Anglers already at the end of November make holes in places fed in the fall. Later, a snow house no more than two meters high and without a roof is built near each hole. It perfectly protects from the evil January winds, but does not interfere with the penetration of sunlight. A kind of ice “perch” is built in the house, which is covered with a cotton mattress so that the fifth point does not freeze. A snow storage room is being built nearby, where the caught fish is stored. Later the catch is brought home by dog ​​sled. This is such a great winter fishing experience on Lake Ik!

Although fishermen make a lot of holes, they are quickly covered with ice, so in winter the fish often suffer from a lack of oxygen and die. The worst kill in the last 50 years occurred in 1991, when about 120 tons of fish died.

Nearest settlements

Near the lake there are 5 small villages: Krutinka (urban-type settlement, regional center), Kalachiki, Kiterma, Krasny Pakhar (the village has only 1 street - Central), Ik.

The largest settlement - the city of Omsk - lies 150 km from the reservoir. Between the points there is a highway Omsk - Lake Ik. The distance that needs to be covered to get from the city along the highway to the reservoir is 190 km, since the road makes many turns.

In the Krutinsky district of the Omsk region, in the south of the West Siberian Plain. Belongs to the Irtysh lake-river system. It is part of the Big Krutinsky Lakes.

The water's edge is located at an altitude of 98 m above sea level. The area of ​​the water surface, according to literature data, is 146 km2. The lake is located in a region of insufficient moisture, so its level is subject to significant intra-annual and long-term changes. The length of the lake is 18.5 km, width – 16.5 km. The average depth of the lake before river regulation. Oshi was 0.9 m, after regulation - 2.3 m, the maximum - up to 4 m. Saltaim is the largest lake in the Omsk region and the 85th lake in Russia in terms of water surface area.

The shape of lakes Saltaim and Tenis, connected by a wide channel, resembles a butterfly. Lakes Saltaim and Tenis are perceived as two reaches of a single body of water. The main rivers feeding the lake system are Kiterma, Karasuk and Koshara, providing 95% of the inflow, as well as Gorkaya (Chaldak), Shepunovka, Tenisovka, Konkulskaya. The Kiterma River connects reservoirs with the lake. Ik. The flow from reservoirs occurs along the river. Osha in r. Irtysh.

The shores of the lake are low and swampy in places. The bottom is muddy. The width of the floodplain is from 100 to 1000 m; in the northwest and southeast the floodplain turns into a swamp. The terrain of the territory is a gently undulating plain 100–140 m above sea level.

The food is mainly snow. High levels are observed in May–June, low levels in September–October. Freeze-up begins at the end of October, ice drift - in May. With a shallow depth and large area, intense wind circulation is often observed in the lake, which involves the entire water column, resulting in the absence of temperature stratification.

The lake water has a grayish-green or straw-yellow color. Water transparency is very low; the largest is recorded in winter - up to 95 cm, the smallest - in summer - 15–35 cm. The lake is fresh, periodically slightly salted. Water mineralization fluctuates seasonally, exceeding 500–700 (1300) mg/l in summer. The active reaction of the water is slightly alkaline, in summer – 7.8–8.0, and by the end of the sub-ice period it decreases to 7.2–7.5. The oxygen regime in summer is favorable, but in winter the lake is susceptible to frost. Ammonia nitrogen is constantly found in the water, which can be explained not only by the significant role of the waters of lowland swamps in feeding the lake, but also by the flow of wastewater from nearby populated areas.

Higher aquatic vegetation is developed very intensively. Its main part is represented by common reed, rush, cattail and sedge. Reed thickets are up to 150 m wide. Vegetation cover is up to 20–25%. In addition, there are thick thickets of pondweed, hornwort, and hornwort, occupying 10–20% of the lake’s area. Saltaim.

Phytoplankton is represented by cyanobacteria, dinophytes, golden algae, cryptophytes, euglena, diatoms and green algae. Phytoplankton biomass in the second half of summer is 20–25 mg/l.

The average long-term biomass of zooplankton in the Saltaim-Tenis lakes is 10.0 g/m3. Benthos is poorer in quantity, its average long-term biomass is 4.9–6.5 g/m2.

The lake is rich in fish. Before the regulation of the river. Oshi ichthyofauna of lakes Ik, Saltaim-Tenis and river. Oshi was represented by Siberian roach, lake minnow, common gudgeon, golden crucian carp, and common perch. After creation on the river. Osh hydraulic structures, the ichthyofauna has undergone a number of changes. At the same time, at different times, purposeful and random introduction of fish of different species took place into the system’s reservoirs: Amur crucian carp, bream, pike perch, peled, carp, tench, bighead carp, and ripus. However, only carp, pike perch, bream and crucian carp have passed the stage of population naturalization. Currently, the fish composition of the Saltaim-Tenis lake system includes 14 species, the main commercial species include roach, ide, dace, perch, as well as carp, pike perch, bream, peled and crucian carp acclimatized in the lake. The Saltaim-Tenis system is the largest fishing area in the Omsk region.

Ducks, geese, waders nest on the lake, and rare birds include the cormorant, as well as the Dalmatian pelican, which is listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.

The nearest settlements are Ust-Kiterm, Saltaim, Berezovo, named after Maxim Gorky.

The structure and abundance of phytoplankton in the Saltaim-Tenis lake system indicate the tense ecological state of their ecosystems. Without taking a number of measures for the environmental rehabilitation of reservoirs and the adjacent territory, the process of eutrophication will lead to overgrowing and swamping of the water area, and ultimately to the loss of lakes, which play an important role in providing the population of the region with water, fish, recreational and aesthetic resources.

The large Krutinsky lakes, including lakes Saltaim and Tenis, are included in the Ramsar Convention's prospective list of wetlands as a site for mass nesting and moulting of waterfowl and the northernmost nesting site for the Dalmatian pelican.

Weather: Leaving the city of Omsk it was quite warm -2 -5 about the same without snow and so all the way to Krutinka! Wind from the west, southwest with gusts of wind!!! The pressure was normal, but by the 23rd the number was rising, which led to to -16 in the morning of the 23rd! The water level is normal, the water is clear, there is no current, the ice thickness is 20 cm!

Tackle: Lure with fishing line 0.20 diameter and simple fishing rods with fishing line 0.10 and above!!!

Bait/bait: We fed the perch with jigs and caught them with bloodworms, but the favorites were balancers!
They fed the crucian carp with mormysh and whatever was at hand))) Since they didn’t intend to catch it, they didn’t take anything with them, but they still decided and fed them bread and boiled potatoes)))

Fishing place: As it turned out, we were at the so-called Pier))) We found out in the morning because we drove at night in a small snowstorm by guessing)))

Hello, I had a trip to the Great Krutinsky Lakes, and everything happened very spontaneously! While working on my last working day before the weekend, I received a call from my wife and I had a trip to my in-laws in Yaman. Well, what about being close to the lakes and not going fishing. Without hesitation, I called Zhenya (Dan73) !!!Will you go? Of course I’ll go))) Well, it’s nice that I won’t be bored alone and catch some fish along the way!!!
Initially, the plan was like this! We’re going on the night of the 21st, we’ll stop in Krutinka, buy bloodworms and jigs, and there we’ll decide where we’ll start, Ik or Saltaim, or maybe somewhere else. I thought we’d spend the night in the car, and at dawn we’ll chase perch in the open spaces!!! Well, As always, everything turned out differently!!!
Having bought bloodworms and jigs in Krutinka, we were very happy, since we found them only in one place, and it was already almost one in the morning! The jig is excellent, but the problem with bloodworms is that it’s a small infection!!! Well, okay, the most important thing is that there is no waste of time We start straight ahead to Kiterma so that we can finally decide where to go!!! In the end, Saltaim won, and the latest information forced us to go there! For that, a huge thank you to our leader Ivan (Emelyanich), with whom I called and had a very pleasant conversation!!!
Arriving in Ust-Kiterma, we were a little surprised, the roads were not well-trodden, how to get to Berezovoye on this side is generally unclear, and the night outside would break the devil’s leg. It was decided to go back and make our way along the road that went to the left from Ust-Kiterma along the lake, there were at least some clear traces that could be seen. fisherwomen are driving!!! Fortunately for us, through the snowstorm we reached the first and huge parking lot where the entry onto the ice was clearly visible. One thing was confusing: Where are we? Ahhh, nevermind, morning will tell
Having walked with flashlights to the open water, which turned out to be not very easy, we stomped about 500 meters, maybe more!!! Everything would be fine, but the snow reduced visibility to a minimum! What to do? What? Take a shmurdyak and suddenly a crucian carp will bite on the ice!!! We went out behind the reeds and drilled about 6 holes to check the depth everywhere is the same 1m20-30cm maximum. I don’t see the point in going further in a snowstorm and we don’t even know where we are. We walked away from the reeds about 10-15 meters and set up a tent at a depth of 1m20cm I’m still crazy tomorrow I say fishermen they'll come laughing at us and they'll say that we're fools sitting by the shore. Noooo, after the night at 03:30 Zhenya catches the first perch, we sighed and were filled with new hopes. Where there's one there and a dozen of them each until 8:00 no no, yes they'll take a bite, only in the stand-up sometimes they'll play along! We didn’t expect it at all, we thought there would be a crucian carp, but this is how it turned out))) The most interesting thing is that I was biting all night
It’s time for dawn! You can hear the movements of the fishermen, they are catching up little by little! And then I decide to conduct an experiment, let’s say to the balancer, I’ll try if it doesn’t take it, let’s go drill and look further and at least see where we are or ask someone And then a surprise awaited us Okunevoe EldoradoThe balancer did not have time to reach its meter to the bottom get there and there's a blow and a perch on the ice. Beauty))) True, at first it was not usual because the depth is small and you almost throw the perch out by the collar when hooking. We caught it on two holes and it all lasted until 14:00 the norm was reached and we were tired of it catching honestly There were no sailors at all, of course, but they didn’t even see a large fish from 200 to 500 grams, and they went for larger balancers! The balancers caught everything that was up to 5 cm))) I ignored the spinner!!!
In general, the soul was taken away as it should be. We went out to breathe and see where we were and where anyone was))) We met a fisherman who was already going home! So he surprised us with crucian carp, the fighters were in a bag, 700 grams each, probably the largest one here and we were intrigued))) We decide pack up and move another 200 meters further into the rare reeds where the depth is 2 m, approximately where the fisherman was catching crucian carp))) Of course, not in his place, but 60 meters from his place. We are not underlings. While everyone was dragging and settling in, it was already 16:00!!! We've fed! We're waiting! We're waiting for an hour! We're waiting for two! Zhenya's first bite was realized at 17:30. The crucian carp is not big, but it's a round pot-bellied one. As we always thought, well, now we'll all catch a big one and in general it'll be cool. The snow also began to get colder and the ice was cracking!!! Out of such boredom we ran into the car twice to take a nap, as if it was another 200 km to drive back!!! Running 700 meters only in one direction uhhh it’s fun, however, of course we wound up pretty well, and we were exhausted for better or for worse. In general, crucian carp We were not pleased, but we were still persuaded to buy 6 of our own. The plan was fulfilled even beyond what we expected. I am attaching a photo, I have it roughly according to the story! Don’t judge harshly for mistakes!!! This is another unforgettable trip and one that will remain in our memory for a long time!!! The 23rd is safe we got out despite the snow and wind that covered the roads, but the fishermen trampled the path and my half-bellied got out without any problems))) Having gone to Yaman on business at 12:00 we already started for the city!!! This fishing trip turned out at random and ended up in in the right place at the right time))) Photo of the catch on the left: a bag and 6 pieces of crucian carp Zhenya caught, and on the right, half a bag and a bag with 6 pieces of crucian carp is my catch))) We weren’t tired of counting, too lazy!!! There were no scales, but I felt my quota was 10 kg and washes a little more for all the days and nights they took NHNCH to everyone!!! With respect, Adis!!!
