RIVER Rafting
Entrances and exits
You can get to Zemetchino from Moscow by direct train Moscow - Vernadovka (with an increase in passenger traffic, an additional train Moscow - Zemetchino is appointed). In addition, there is a diesel engine from Vernadovka (Vernadovka - Morsovo, departs at about 10 am), there are about 6 buses from Bashmakovo (or even more), you can get a diesel engine from Kustaryovka to Morsovo (from Kustaryovka about an hour in the afternoon), and from Morsovo - by diesel to Zemetchino (in Morsovo the docking is good). The last option is useful if there are no tickets at all for anything (since an electric train goes to Kustarevka from Ryazan - from the Ryazan-1 station, and to Ryazan - from Moscow). The Raevka River flows into Zemetchino (about 600 m. From the station), which flows into Vysha, but nothing is known about its passability. Up to der. 10th October (about 8 km. From Zemetchino) there are many buses, or you can try to hook the car. The road along which the bus goes, about October 10th crosses Vysha.
In the village. Vysha can be reached by bus from Zemetchino, or you can try to hitch a car at the station. Pashkovo (about 10 km. From Vysha). The bus stop is located on the right bank near the bridge, 100 -150 m. From the coast.
The most convenient way would be to come to Vysha by rail, by direct train from Moscow. Unfortunately, the stations Morsovo and Vysha are far from the bridge (Morsovo is 7.8 km away, Vysha on the map is also 7-8 km away). Moscow trains do not stop between Vysha and Morsovo. However, the aforementioned cuckoo from Kustarevka (Kustarevka - Morsovo) is more convenient, as it stops at 63 km. (3.8 km. From the bridge). In addition, in high water, rafting can be started along the river. Morsovka (2.2 km. From 63 km.).

Morsovka, however, flows through and through the village. Morsovo, and in close proximity to 63 km. (east of the railroad). However, in Morsovo it is impassable even in high water, but how to go from 63 km. directly to Morsovka, I don't know. In addition, from the railway bridge to the river. Vysha Morsovka flows mainly through the fields, and from 63 km. to the bridge - through the forest (rubble). In low water Morsovka is obviously impassable for a kayak (at best it is passable for a Swallow). The most convenient way would be to arrange with the driver of the Kustarevka-Morsovo cuckoo (or even the Moscow train at Sasovo station) to stop at the bridge.
The village of Chernoyar is very large and overlooks the river. It is located 8 - 9 km. from Morsovo on the road. There used to be a bus from Zemetchino to Chernoyar, but it was reduced to Morsovo (1995). Nevertheless, the road to Chernoyar is quite busy, and you can try to hook into the Morsovo car. If this fails, then at about 4.30 pm diesel goes to Kustarevka from Morsovo - see the previous version.
Maybe somehow it is possible to get from Shatsk to Zhelannoye (after all, a large village), but whether it is possible - I do not know.
Most likely, the villages Vostochnoe and Kuplya have a bus connection with Shatsk. Still, the villages are large and there is a direct road to Shatsk.

The bus station of the village of Yambirno is located about 300 - 400 m from the river along the highway. From there, there is one bus to Ryazan (at 16.00), three buses to Sasovo (the last at 16.20, the penultimate at 13.30) and about 6 buses to Shatsk (the last at about 19.30). You can go to Ryazan, but you only have time to catch the last train to Golutvin, and from it to the last Moscow train, which arrives at Vykhino at 0.30, and at Kazan railway station. - at 0.52. Not everyone is comfortable. Besides, the bus to Ryazan is probably expensive.
It makes sense to go to Shatsk only if you missed all other buses. It is quite possible that there are late evening flights from Shatsk to Ryazan, Sasovo or Morshansk.
The most convenient way, in my opinion, is to go through Sasovo. About 20 trains to Moscow stop in Sasov. If you arrive in Sasovo in the evening, then you can sleep on the night train (it takes about 7 hours), and if during the day, you can come to Moscow at a reasonable time. In addition, during the day you can get to Moscow by electric trains with a change in Ryazan.

General impressions
Zemetchinsky forest
A good place. Lots of decent parking lots, lots of firewood. The forest is mainly deciduous - oak, birch, linden, ash, maple. Pine is common. There are few locals, there are no villages near the river (except for October 10). The river looks beautiful - in general, what else is needed? It is somewhat unpleasant that the soil here is rather sticky, and when you go to fetch water, you need to put on your boots, and then clean off what stuck to them.

The site from the Zemetchinsky forest to the village. Crimea (and even a little further)
Boring and monotonous site. There is no forest here, the banks of the river are mostly steep (about 3 m high). The river winds heavily. What is on the bank, from the river, as a rule, is not visible, and if you climb onto the bank, you can see a heavily plowed plain with numerous villages. There are many locals here (mostly fishermen and shepherds). Some diversity to this site is given by small forests near the Syademskaya power line (14.05 - 14.15 30.04) and at the mouth of the river. Owl. If you sail from Zemetchino (i.e. from October 10th), then you should probably try to swim to one of these lines on the first day and stand in it - so as not to swim this entire section in one day (there are practically No).

The area from the "post-Crimea" to the beginning of the normal forest (19.18 30.04 - 16.35 1.05)
You can already stand here. At least, firewood is easy to find and there is something to tie the tent to. There are fewer people here. However, there is still no real forest here - it is rather open woodland. However, all this does not look so bad.

The beginning of a normal forest - the mouth of the Morsovka
The seats are good. True, in most of this area, the forest grows only along one of the banks (mainly on the right), but this, apparently, is not important. There is a lot of parking space, plenty of firewood. The forests are still pine-deciduous. On this site is the very same wooden threshold, on which you need to be careful. The mechanism of the formation of this thing, apparently, is as follows: in this place the river, it seems, crosses a small rocky ridge and forms something like a rift (a drop of 1 m by 50 m is clearly not created artificially). The depth of the river in this place drops sharply, and the locals, taking advantage of this, put a stepped stab on the river, and then abandoned it. There are several rifts on the same site. There are practically no locals on this site.

Morsovka estuary - another beginning of the forest
There is no forest here. On the left bank (though mostly far from the river) there is the village of Chernoyar. There are very few parking spaces, mainly due to lack of firewood. This section still looks better than the one that we sailed on April 30, since the banks are not steep (you can see that on the shore), there are small copses, and there are small rifts on the river. Moreover, this section is relatively short.

The beginning of the forest - der. Kashirino
The best section of the river. On both banks there are very beautiful forests, sandy shores, many beaches. There are almost no locals (there are places that are completely deaf). It is very good to spend the day here.

Der. Kashirino - the mouth of the river. Lime Places are slowly beginning to deteriorate, and beyond the village. Maryino, this process takes on an avalanche-like character. If an overnight stay is foreseen in this area, then you need to get up at the first suitable place for this.

The mouth of the r. Lime - the mouth of Vysha
There is nowhere to stand here, mainly due to the high population density. You need to swim this section. It does not evoke emotions.

Mouth Vysha - mouth
for kayaking. Sailing on it is a little fun (at least in the described area). There are practically no parking spaces here (perhaps the only thing is opposite the village of Vasha, and even that is not very good).

SUMMARY
For spring, Vysha is, perhaps, a little large - about 15 m. Near October 10 and about 50 m. Near Vostochny, and at the mouth it spills up to 100 m (in summer there is, apparently, a delta). In summer and autumn, I think it is much better to swim on it. If we discard a significant part of the treeless area between Otorma and Crimea (that is, start from the Vysha village), and leave Vostochny, then the route can be considered very good - especially for autumn. However, due to its short duration, the trip along Tsne to Yambirno does not spoil the impression.

Transfer
From the Kazansky railway station in Moscow to the Bashmakovo station, we traveled by train 302 Moscow - Penza. It departs from Kazansky railway station at 16-20. The train arrives at Bashmakovo station at 3-47, and stands there for 1 minute. The price of a reserved seat ticket from Moscow to Penza station is 932 rubles.

River selection
Initially, I planned to conduct a calm, unhurried hike along the wide Sura River from Lunino to Sura station. On this site, according to the map, the right bank of the river in many places is approached by slopes that rise above the river by 4-6 contour lines. Therefore, there may be observation points that exceed the Suru and its low-lying left bank by 100-120 meters. In addition, in this area, the shores of the Sura are sparsely populated and covered with forests. For the first time in recent years, a section of the river with a length of only about 80 kilometers was chosen for 4 full sailing days for rafting.

But a day and a half before the start of the hike, when round-trip tickets have long been bought, the layout and equipment are scattered among the crews and usually the final preparations for assembling the backpacks have already begun, I find out that it is better not to go to Sura. The water in it below Penza, where we were going, is heavily contaminated with chemical waste.

Therefore, an urgent change of the route was required. It's good that I had two "stashes" in this region. One of them is the Vysha river, which I was going to go for three years already. On the map, it looks very tempting. A narrow forest river with a sandy bottom. However, from measurements on the map it followed that the length of the route along the Vysha River from the village of October 10 to Yambirno is about 120-130 kilometers. According to one of the reports found, the length even reached 140 kilometers. This is at least one and a half times more than I expected. So, you have to thoroughly bury it. Having learned the route of the train on which we had to call on Sura, I realized that it was not difficult to transfer to Vysha.

The higher flows almost parallel to the Sura, and in the same direction, but at the same time it is located 150 kilometers closer to Moscow. Therefore, the same trains for which the tickets were taken are suitable for transferring and dropping onto it. When dropping in, you just need to get out 2 hours earlier. And take the return train 4 hours later. In addition to trains, both the drop-in and drop-off now required two entrances by road, 50 and 35 kilometers long. This time the group gathered less than usual: there were 6 adults and 5 children aged 4 to 12 years. So it's not so difficult to find transport for such a "small" group.
This is how the mattress hike along the wide Sura River was replaced by sports rowing along the narrow forest river Vysha.

Route description
And here is the Vysha river.
After the rains the day before, the water in it is muddy, greenish, not pleasant to look at. Let's start. According to the report, which we are guided by, a beautiful (according to the map) forest area awaits us in the next 8 kilometers. This is about 2 walking hours. Then along the banks there will be open areas with a length of 6 walking hours, after which forests will begin again along the river. We are going to reach them today. On the first day we will have a "draft rowing". The river is deep, about 20 meters wide, the current is weak. Occasionally there are rocky rifts, the depth of the river on them is greatly reduced. Lower water levels may require wiring. Both banks are completely closed by dense windbreak forest. In the middle of the forest on the right bank, two 40-meter cliffs open in turn. Trees hanging over the water from both banks sometimes fall into the water, partially blocking the channel. This leaves narrow passages through which you have to crawl. One blockage completely blocked off the entire river bed, and they had to drag ships under the left bank.
In this forest area, there are practically no parking places with a convenient access to the shore and a site for tents. Garbage forest with dense undergrowth of willow, American and common maple. Grass and riparian trees descend directly into the water.
The banks are steep, overgrown with bushes, there were only two places on this forest site with sandy beaches. But next to them there were no visible places convenient for setting up a camp.
Finally the forest area ends. From my point of view, after leaving the forest, the river looks even better than in the previous forest area. Sandy beaches appear, we swim. Until lunchtime we walked through the open area. Occasionally, small areas of the forest approached the banks. The width of the river remains at the level of 20-30 meters, a noticeable current appears, the water is gradually cleared, it becomes more transparent. In straight sections, the current is weaker, while the depth of the river is, on average, about two meters. In areas where Vysha winds, the depth of the river under the steep bank is usually more than two meters. The opposite coast is shallow, there may be a sandy beach.
For lunch we got a large sandy beach located in front of the village of Vysha.
But we had to row to it for almost 5 running hours. After lunch, we relaxed a bit, but it started raining, and after it mosquitoes began to eat us fiercely. With each blow we kill a dozen of these vile, bloodthirsty creatures. But you also have to row. And find a comfortable place to spend the night. And among those forests that again surrounded Vysha, it is again difficult to find a site for placing tents with a convenient access to it from the river.
Either there is a sandy beach, convenient for a pier and swimming, surrounded by willow and alder thickets, or there is a platform, but an almost steep five-meter rise from the water leads to it. The coastal forest is usually with dense undergrowth, all in pits and potholes formed by floods. A beautiful pine forest that appears on the horizon soon turns out to be away from the river. And already 7 pm. We will explore everything, at least to some extent suitable for spending the night. And the mosquitoes continue to eat mercilessly!
Found. A small flat shelf in maples and oaks with undergrowth, dark, wet after rain, with a steep but quite acceptable exit. Bonfire, dinner. Hot oak and maple wood made the place quite comfortable and cozy.
Thanks to scrap rowing on the first day, we created a reserve for the future. The second day turned out to be quieter. The forest area that completely covers this section of Vysha is also absolutely unsuitable for organizing good parking.
Sandy beaches continue to appear periodically along the river. You can swim, but there are almost no places where you can park.
In the area of the village of Vaskin Bor there is a roll (9-11 on the sailing line), where you can severely tear the shell of the boats. The place is not noticeable. Among the forest area with small river bends, there is a powerful rocky rift with a length of 50-80 meters with a total drop of the channel of about a meter. In the river bed there are several rows of long iron pins driven deep into the river bed. There are more of them under the left bank. Different rows of pins are located at different depths. Some of the pins protrude slightly above the water level and are visible, while others are located below the water level.
They are not visible, a trace from them on the water is not tracked and the boat can be severely ripped apart !!! They drove them into the bottom of the river, it seems, with a sledgehammer. The upper part of the pins is flattened and looks like hats with pointed jagged edges. The pins are slightly mobile, they are tilted by the current, but at the same time it was not possible to pull them out of the bottom. Why they are stuck, it is not clear. There are no other traces of human activity nearby. Everything is complicated by the presence of a strong current. We managed with all boats to pass through the rocky shallow water under the right bank, leaving the pins on the left. At a lower water level, the rift will become shallow, and where we passed, there will be a shallow rocky skinner. In this case, in order not to rip the skin of the kayaks on the pins, it is better to lead the boats along the right bank.

Downstream, in two narrowings of the river channel, we also found pins extending from the depths of the river to the surface of the water. The current there is weak and the pins were located a little deeper, so we passed them freely. However, in the second half of summer at a lower water level, the pins in these places can rise to the water surface.
Downstream, for 6-7 kilometers in front of the iron bridge, the width of the river increases to 60 meters. The depth of the river increases, and the current in this section completely disappears. Thanks to this, the water settles here, the mud settles, and below the railway bridge, the water in the river becomes transparent and clean. For lunch, they specially stood next to the railway bridge, before that there were no convenient exits to the shore for more than an hour. And here there is an opportunity to go ashore and there is a pleasant flat area among the pine trees. After a while, a current appears below the bridge, the river narrows again to 30 meters. At the same time, it remains deep. In the area of the village of Chernoyar, there were several bystrins. On a rather long stretch of the coast, again, it is not convenient for parking. We managed to find a comfortable place to spend the night in front of ancient Lvovka on the ledge of the left bank next to the pine trees.
On the third day of the journey, the water in Vyshe became noticeably warmer, and the river was more full-flowing. The channel width is still about 30-40 meters. The current tends to speed up slightly on winding stretches of the river, and slows down on straight sweeps. In the forest area, there are snags that have fallen into the water. But they do not create obstacles to movement. There are sandy beaches along the shores, but there are no parking spaces near them.

I remember the confluence of the Kermis tributary. It flows into a shallow sandy roll. The alluvial sandbank, formed from its confluence, comes out almost to the middle of the Vysha channel. And here it ends in a deep whirlpool. The water in Kermisi was significantly colder than in the Above. And after its confluence, for some time the warm water of Vysha and the cold water of Kermisi go under different banks, almost without mixing. Water consumption in Kermisi is 6 times less than in the Above. It flows into a small sandy rift, the width of the Kermisi channel is about 10-15 meters.

An iron road bridge is located near the village of Babakino. The ships were carried along the sandy beach of the right bank. The walk-around is short and convenient. Below Babakino, the dam of the old hydroelectric power station begins to back up. It begins to be felt about 8 kilometers in front of the dam. The river in this section expands to 60 meters, the depth increases.
The banks are overgrown with trees and bushes. There are no convenient parking spaces on this entire site. However, sandy beaches, separated from the forest by dense willow thickets, are sometimes found along the banks of the river.

The channel drop at the dam is selected in two steps. The small first stage has a drop of about half a meter. 5 meters after it, the second, main spillway of the dam begins, where the water falls vertically from a height of about 3 meters. It is better to overhaul the dam along the right bank. The walk-around is not convenient, it is about 100 meters long. There is little mooring space for ships. This is a small patch to which the boats of local fishermen are attached.

A little below the dam, a roll begins among the islands, about 100 meters long. The village of Maryino is located along the right bank, a little far from the river. One and a half kilometers below the village, we stopped for the night on the right, steppe bank of Vysha. The place is beautiful and very comfortable. A strip of sandy beach runs along the water, separated from the steppe by a narrow strip of willow bushes. Several young pines grow on the edge of the steppe, and there is a campfire site nearby.
The tents were set up on a solid carpet of thyme. In the evening, when it got dark, the steppe grasses began to smell incredible. Only for this one parking lot it was possible to forgive Above all its previous shortcomings.

Closer to the confluence of Tsnu there were a couple of parking lots. One of them was located on the arrow at the confluence of the Izvest River. The second camp was in the middle of a light birch forest growing on the high right bank of the Vysha above a spring gushing out of the ground (19-52).

Downstream begins the village of Vostochnoe, which stretches for two kilometers along the river. This is the most noticeable village that we met on the traversed route. Before that, there were no villages overlooking the banks of the river. In this section, Vysha expands to 60 meters, the current disappears.

Tsna river near the mouth of the Vysha river

CNA RIVER
And here is Tsna, which we wanted to quickly pass, assuming that it would be a wide, dirty river. But it turned out that the water in Tsna is even more transparent than in Above and, moreover, warmer.
Along the banks there are parking lots with convenient shore exits, and pine forests grow along the banks. The width of Tsna is about 70-90 meters, the current noticeably helps rowing.
For lunch, we got up at a convenient parking lot located below the village of Vasha.
A convenient berth for all our ships, a good swimming place, the warm clear water of Tsna and a small clearing located nearby in an oak forest: this is what we constantly lacked throughout the Vysha. We had lunch and had a lot of shopping. The place is convenient, although it is visited by car tourists and, therefore, littered. But we have to go back, besides, a thunderstorm has begun to set.
We moved on, moving away from the oncoming rain. The thunderstorm was already very close, and we rowed, trying to make it in time. But, seeing the high hills of the left bank, located on the edge of the old quarry, I could not resist. We moored to the shore and climbed up the slope. The top of the hill rose 40 meters above the river. In one direction, from it, the pine banks of the Tsna were visible, and in the other direction - the slopes of the old quarry overgrown with grass and bushes and a herd grazing on them. And around there were thunderstorms and lightning flashed. On the upper part of the ascent to the very top, several berries of ripe large strawberries were found. A trifle, but nice.

Then, of course, we got caught in the rain, under which we drove to the bridge in Yambirno. We dismantled the ships on a rural beach located on the left bank, about a kilometer below the bridge. They called the Gazelle from Sasovo, and sat in it at the beginning of the next portion of the pouring rain. This is how this interesting, eventful hike ended.

Ejection
The phone number of the bus station in Sasovo is 89105734303. Ordering a Gazelle from Sasovo cost us 1200 rubles. We drove 35 kilometers from Yambirno to Sasovo for about an hour in the pouring rain. We returned to Moscow by train N55. Departure of the train from the station Sasovo at 0-19, parking 4 minutes. The cost of a reserved seat ticket from Ruzaevka station to Moscow is 905 rubles. The train arrives at the Kazansky railway station in Moscow at 6-03.

conclusions
From the report I found http://www.skitalets.ru/water/centre/visha_fiva1995/, it followed that after the start, a beautiful forest area begins with a length of 2 walking hours, after which there will be an open dreary area with a length of 6 walking hours. Further, there should be beautiful forest places, which are greatly deteriorating closer to the confluence of the Tsnu. At the finish, a wide and uninteresting Tsna should have been waiting for us. We were preparing for this. But as it turned out from our trip, tastes are different.
Perhaps the route looks different on the May holidays. The water level in the river is higher, therefore, there are more convenient landfalls. And the number of parking spaces in forest areas is increasing. In addition, windbreak forests in early May do not yet have time to overgrow with grass, but are filled with a continuous carpet of flowering primroses.

In summer, those sections of the river that the author of the report considered the best, from my point of view, are not convenient for hiking with children. There are practically no convenient parking facilities there. And the lower section of Vysha and Tsna, just made a very good impression.
On the other hand, it follows from the report that there are many vacationers near the water on the May holidays. We practically did not see anyone. Despite the holidays and warm weather, there was absolutely no one near the river! We met only a dozen local residents during the entire trip. There are few settlements along the river. Only the village Vostochnoe is visible from the water; there was no other noticeable settlement there.

Assumption Vyshinsky monastery

The terrain along which the Vysha River flows is generally quite deaf. There are few active bridges across Vysha. The bridges in the villages of Davydovka, Chernoyar and Maryino, marked on a two-kilometer map of the Penza region, are now inoperative. From them only old wooden piles sticking out in the riverbed remained.
There are not many obstacles on the river, but they are. In the initial forest area below Zemetchino there were a couple of rubble, one of which required the ships to be pulled through. The river on this site is not wide, and there are enough trees along the banks. Therefore, every spring flood can create another blockage. The railroad bridge in Babakino (15-22) and the dam in Maryino (15-22) demanded that the ships be moved around. The rest of the bridges were passed by rowing. A depressing picture was left in my memory by a roll with iron pins and the following two narrowing of the channel, in which we also observed pins. I have not seen anything like it before. On this obstacle, you can severely tear a kayak or catamaran. The most unpleasant thing is that the pins are poorly visible from the water and do not seem dangerous. Until I made my way to them ford, I believed that these were the remains of a stab made from wooden branches.
There were no spring streams, only before the confluence with Tsnu, when approaching the village Vostochnoye, there were two springs on the right bank.
The water in the initial part of the route was cloudy and greenish. Perhaps this was partly due to the rains that had passed the day before. However, in front of the railway bridge (10-42) there was a long section without a current, on which the water settled. As a result, the water in the rest of the river was clearer. Oddly enough, in Tsna the water turned out to be even more transparent and, moreover, warmer.

The width of Vysha throughout its entire length remains at the level of 20-40 meters, expanding to 60 meters only in some areas. The depth is about 2 meters on average, the bottom is sandy. It looks like we were walking above the low water level. At a car ford near the village of Chernoyar, the depth was 60-70 centimeters. Consequently, the low-water level should be less. There were no shoals anywhere. On all rifts, there was enough depth with a margin.
In open areas, where the river begins to wind, the speed of the current increases. In straight forest areas, the current is weak or completely absent. In front of the dam in Maryino, the backwater begins to be felt about 8 kilometers away.
The banks at Vysha are dry, but not convenient for parking. During the entire first day, we noticed only 3-4 good parking spots. And this is almost 8 running hours. Along the entire length of the river, there are sandy beaches that are convenient for swimming.
However, as a rule, they are surrounded by dense thickets of willow or bare steppe is located nearby. It is very difficult to find a place among the trees, convenient for setting up tents, so that from it there is a convenient approach to the water.
I got the feeling that the number of good campsites with a convenient access to the shore, an even place for tents, the presence of firewood and away from settlements along the entire length of Vysha can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Forest areas, which are not so few on the river, as a rule, are a dense accumulation of trees with undergrowth and thickets of grass, suitable close to the water. The banks in such areas are often steep, hanging over the water.
On this trip, we took almost everything from the river that it could give us. They bathed, raked, warmed up in the sun.
It seems that we have completed this route in the best possible way. Yes, the first day turned out to be a draft, but in 4 days, in a different way, it is difficult to pass this route. And so we got the largest sandy beach on the entire river for lunch on the first day. The only luxurious steppe parking lot for 3 nights. Normal, and completely different from each other, two other overnight camps. And an excellent rest on Tsna. It’s a pity that we didn’t manage to climb more on the slopes of the old quarry.
I hardly ever go to Vysha again, but, oddly enough, I really liked this trip. And I remember.

Fishing detailed report
Hello everyone.
Once again I was going on a fishing trip to my favorite village, more precisely, to the village where my beloved father-in-law and mother-in-law live. The day before, my father-in-law invited me to go fishing and promised to show me the good pools. In general, he stirred me up.
As always, since Friday evening, everything was collected, live bait was bought (in case you didn't get caught), sandwiches were sliced, tackles were checked, everything was packed in a backpack. Sleep with a clear conscience and peace of mind.
We wake up at 4:30, the children are quietly snoring, my wife is sniffling louder (because she is unhappy with my waking up). fortunately, everything is collected from the evening for the gathering, the time is minimal, so as not to wake anyone up.
And so 4:50 am I am already in the car, 10 minutes to warm up and go.
To go 220 km from the city, in one breath, 7:50 drove into a fishing store in Zemetchino, my father-in-law asked to buy bloodworms and a bloodworm, and became the happy owner of a hat with earflaps, because I had a hat with me, ala a cockerel, it was chilly in it, however, the dawn was not yet smells like darkness.
Drove in for my father-in-law, he threw his gear into the car. 8:30 It is getting light. From the village we drove until the so-called asvalt (what was left of it) was not finished, the very outskirts of the village, further than the field ... it was decided to leave the car and then walk, walk about 5 kilometers. At that moment, a cornfield with fishermen drove out from the side of the fields, talked with them, they could not pass and decided that on that day their fishing ended.
But we are full of enthusiasm, we do not give up, we put the tackle on the drags, on the way (at this moment we did not know what awaited us yet). I will not describe the whole journey, I will say that we walked 5 kilometers for about 3 hours, there were moments when I wanted to turn back, but enthusiasm prevailed. The snow in the fields lay somewhere knee-deep, but there were places such that he himself fell almost up to his neck.
And here it is, at the end of the Vysha river in all its glory, descent to the river, a second wind opens, preparation of the girders, the father-in-law drills a couple of holes trying to catch live bait ... he has zeros ...
Fortunately, the live bait was purchased in advance, the girders were installed. Installed at the entrance, exit to the pool and a couple in the middle of the pool, depth from up to 5 meters.
Although it was -32 frost outside while they were sweating incredibly, it was decided to light a fire and have a snack. Zherlitsy are silent ... silent ... silent.
On the fire, stew is warming up, a lapota, peace is silence, there is no one in the neighborhood ...
And then, father-in-law (calmly so) "and why the flag is raised", the zherlitsa behind me ... Sunburn ... I am walking slowly, I hear my father-in-law cursing that he would not step into the wash, I walk carefully, shakes slowly, I come up carefully, I wait for a pause, remove the gore, shake it, grab the line, sweep and, lo and behold, a nice pleasant weight is felt on the line, I choose the line, I bring it to the hole, the muzzle does not go into the hole the first time, it doesn’t matter, I will put my hand into the hole, neatly I take it out, and now she is our beauty, 2.5 kg, already on the ice. How nice and good at heart, it was not in vain that I drove and walked ...
Unfortunately, there were no more tans of the girders. Father-in-law caught on a jig caught a dozen small sailors, for the cat's joy, and a roach 300 grams.
The way back was not easy, we are going with breaks, smoke breaks, and snacks, we wander in a good mood back to the car, and all the same, it's so beautiful, the sunset, the sun seems to say goodbye to us until tomorrow. Beautiful native spaces far from civilization. Fishing was a success, I am satisfied ... In the spring I will fish this place with a spinning rod ...

The far southeast of the Ryazan region - the forest part of the Shatsk region - lies on the border with the Penza region and Mordovia. The nearest regional center (be it Tambov, Penza, Saransk or Ryazan) is not less than two hundred kilometers. Brown bears, which have long become a rarity in our area, wander into the dense forests of such outskirts. Svyatoslav Priklonsky, the former director of the Oka Biosphere Reserve, says, in particular, that a clubfoot wandering somewhere in these forests. Local forests, in which one and a half meters thick oaks and century-old pines are found, are cut by the valley of the Vyshi River, which is home to many species of animals and plants listed in the Red Book.

At the confluence of the Vysha and Tsnu, there is an old pine forest, where in the middle of the 20th century local biologists, enthusiasts, discovered a colony of gray herons. These birds usually catch the eye when they are keen on foraging, walking along the shores, lakes and rivers. Scared, sometimes they fly to a quieter place. But you can often see herons flying away into the forest somewhere. Perhaps to another body of water? It turns out, not always: the herons arrange their huge nests high in the trees, and it was thanks to the enthusiasts that they managed to save from cutting down a section of the old pine forest near the village of Vysha, where today there are about eighty gray heron nests. Perhaps this is the largest nesting colony of herons in the Ryazan region.

Monastery on the Higher

In this wilderness, the Vyshensky Assumption Monastery was located almost four centuries ago. In historical chronicles, the foundation of the monastery dates back to 1625 - for the first time it was mentioned in the letter of the mother of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Martha. In this letter, Martha Ioannovna indicated the present place of the desert. The monks complained about the former, fearing the threat of flooding in high water. So from the left bank of the Vysha the monastery moved to the right. Located in the wilds, Vyshensky Monastery only eventually turned into a center for spiritual education of the local population. There was a time when it was closed due to the poverty and small number of brethren: in 1724 the monastery was attributed to the Chernev Monastery, reopening three years later. The beginning of the revival is left to the abbot Tikhon: he was appointed in 1800 by Bishop Theophilos of Tambov, when the Shatsk district withdrew to the Tambov province. Under Abbot Tikhon, a stone four-tier bell tower with the Trinity Church, stone cells and a stone fence with towers were erected. The main shrine of the monastery is the miraculous Kazan icon of the Mother of God, in whose name a summer stone summer church was laid in 1831. It is known that the Vyshenskaya icon of the Kazan Mother of God is an exact copy of the miraculous image found on July 8, 1579 in Kazan.

In 1861, the Assumption Church was built with two chapels - Nicholas the Wonderworker and Sergius of Radonezh. Under Archimandrite Arcadia, a two-story stone fraternal building with a pharmacy, an almshouse, two stone inns, a bakery, a stable and an inn were built. At the same time, a procession of the cross from Vysha to Morshansk and Tambov with a miraculous icon was established. From 1874 to 1890, a warm stone five-domed Nativity of Christ Cathedral was built, decorated on three sides with columns and porticoes of the Ionic order. The main altar of the temple is consecrated in honor of the Nativity of Christ, the right one - in honor of the martyrs Adrian and Natalia, and in the left one is the sacristy. In this cathedral the venerated icon of the Nine Martyrs of Cyzic was kept.

From the day of its foundation until the revolution, the monastery was for men. At the beginning of the 20th century, the then government closed the monastery, nationalized the buildings and all property, and evicted the monks. In the book "The Red Terror in Russia" on page 103 there is a paragraph: "Will we find in life and in literature a description similar to the one given by Steinberg about the incident in the Shatsk district of the Tambov province. There is there the Vyshinskaya icon of the Mother of God, revered by the people. A Spanish woman was raging in the village. They arranged a prayer service and a procession, for which the priests and the icon itself were arrested by the local Cheka ... The peasants learned about the mockery carried out in the Cheka over the icon: they spat, shuffled on the floor, and went to "rescue the Mother of God with a wall." There were women, old men, children. The Cheka opened fire on them with machine guns. The machine gun mows down the rows, but they walk, they see nothing, over the corpses, over the wounded, they creep ahead, the eyes are terrible, the mothers of the children are ahead, they shout: “Mother, Intercessor, save, have mercy, we will all lie down for you ... Fear is no longer in them there was none. " Divine services continued until 1938 only in the Nativity of Christ Cathedral. The territory of the monastery was used as a pig farm, a children's playground, and since 1938 a psychiatric hospital has settled here. In the 60s of the past, the bell tower was blown up.

They thought about the fate of the abandoned monastery only after the canonization in 1988 of Theophan the Recluse. In 1990, some of the buildings were transferred to the convent. On June 29, 2002, with the participation of Patriarch Alexy II, the solemn transfer of Theophan's relics to the Vyshenskaya monastery took place. By 2009, the Kazan Cathedral was also restored. Nativity of Christ Cathedral is currently in the process of restoration. Recently, a psychiatric hospital has also moved out of the territory of the monastery. Newly rebuilt buildings of the Shatsk psychiatric hospital are located at the exit from the village of Vysha on the road to Emmanuilovka.

Vyshensky recluse

It is believed that the Vyshenskaya wilderness became surprisingly attractive for Bishop Theophan, who retired here to retire in 1862. Immediately after the prayer service on July 28, Theophanes went straight to Vysha, settling in the abbot's chambers. Five years later, he moved to a wooden wing, built over a stone prosphora building especially for him by Archimandrite Arkady. A year later, referring to the vanity of the abbot's office, which violates inner peace, Theophanes became an ascetic - he served the liturgy himself, for six years he attended all church services. But the thought of a complete shutter did not leave him, because for this he came to Vysha. Theophanes said about solitude that it was sweeter than honey, and considered Vysha "God's dwelling place, where God's heavenly air is." His most famous statement in the spiritual world that "Above can be exchanged only for the Kingdom of Heaven." “You call me happy. I feel that way, ”he wrote. "And I won't trade my Vyshi not only for the St. Petersburg Metropolitanate, but also for the Patriarchate, if it were restored to us and I was appointed to it."

In his letters, Theophan tells about the reason and nature of his solitude: “I laugh when someone says that I am in seclusion. This is not at all the same. I have the same life, only there are no exits and tricks. The shutter is real - not to eat, not drink, not sleep, do nothing, just pray ... I'm talking to Evdokim, I walk on the balcony and see everyone, I correspond ... I eat, drink and sleep to my heart's content. I have simple seclusion for a while. " However, Feofan devoted days and nights to prayer. In his cells, he set up a small church in the name of the Baptism of the Lord, in which he served the Divine Liturgy on all Sundays and holidays, and in the last 11 years of his life - every day. Interestingly, Theophanes possessed one of the largest private libraries of that time, more than half of which consisted of foreign books - he studied several languages after serving for six years in the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem and for almost a year in the Ambassadorial Church in Constantinople as rector. Feofan read classics - both Russian and foreign, he had books on medicine, mainly on homeopathy, anatomy, hygiene and pharmacology. Theophan knew languages and was engaged in translations. In the spiritual environment, they appreciate his work in translation from the Greek Philosophy.

It is known that Feofan could answer for a huge number of letters addressed to him - up to 40 a day. Among his occupations are icon painting, music, various handicrafts, growing plants on the balcony, observing the heavenly bodies. In addition, he sewed clothes for himself. Theophanes wrote until his death on January 6, 1894: all the texts of the reclusive writer are permeated with the thought of the salvation of the soul. In the cells of Theophanes after his death, they found a telescope, two microscopes, a camera, an anatomical atlas, six atlases on geography, as well as on church and biblical history. Unfortunately, none of these items survived. The Theophanes' library was also lost: it was acquired from the heirs by the Moscow merchant Losev and donated to the Moscow St. Nicholas Church in Tolmachi.

You can repeat the feat of the bishop on the M5 road from Moscow to Shatsk through the village of Konobeevo. From here, about 15 kilometers more, you need to make your way to the east.

Vyshenskaya Pustyn is located in the Ryazan Region on the right bank of the Vysha River, not far from its confluence with the Tsnu River.

The Holy Dormition Vyshensky Monastery in its present place was built in 1625 according to the letter of the “great eldress Martha Ioannovna” (mother of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich). Located in remote places, the monastery was an outpost in the spread of the Christian faith among the local pagans - the Mordovians. The first temple of the Vyshenskaya Hermitage was built in the name of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos in 1761. On May 7, 1827, a miraculous icon of the Mother of God was donated to the monastery

"Kazanskaya", for which a summer cathedral was erected (1831-1844). In 1886 Saint Theophanes arrived at the monastery. He loved this place. “I can only exchange the embroidery for the Kingdom of Heaven,” he writes in his letters. The Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ was consecrated in 1890. In the 19th century, the Vyshenskaya monastery became a center of spiritual enlightenment. The main shrines of the monastery are the miraculous image of the Mother of God of Kazan of Vyshenskaya and the relics of St. Theophan, the Hermit of Vyshensky

The village of Emmanuilovka is located 4 km from the Vyshensky Monastery, where there is a spring consecrated in honor of St. Theophan the Recluse. Pilgrims who have repeatedly visited the monastery tell of cases of healing at the source. Pilgrimage trips to the Holy Dormition Vyshensky Monastery, to the ancient Shatsk land, remain in memory for a long time.

Saint Theophanes, addressing his spiritual children, wrote: “You are standing higher, and the gates are open. Whenever the Lord blesses to visit her for pilgrimage, you will always find her ready to receive you - to comfort and refresh you. "

The Ryazan region is truly a fertile land for a fisherman. The choice of places for quiet hunting is huge: lakes, reservoirs, rivers. With such a variety, it is difficult to remain without a catch.

Fishing will be especially productive if in advance:

explore the bottom topography;
find out the habits of the fish you intend to catch;
habitat and congestion with zhora;
in winter - a place of hibernation.

River fishing

There are 890 rivers flowing in the Ryazan region, they are flat. About 40 species of fish live there. The average length is more than three kilometers. The largest rivers are: Oka, Pra, Ranova, Moksha, Solotcha, Mecha, Vysha, Tyrnitsa, Pronya, etc.

The most promising place is the Oka River, it borders on the Moscow Region, and reaches almost to the Vladimir Region. It is especially good to fish here in late autumn and summer. It is inhabited by about 40 different species of fish, but most often it is caught: pike, pike perch, bream, asp, chub, rudd, perch, dace, catfish.

The most effective bream tackle is a ring or feeder tackle. With a fast current - an onboard fishing rod. On the feeder, you can catch: sabrefish, ide, crucian carp, roach, silver bream. The most catchy time is the beginning of spring, the end of autumn.

River Pronya: favorite places are the sections that lie in the lower part of the stream. It is not bad to profit from asp, ide, crucian carp, pike, silver bream. There are catfish, burbot, pike perch. The carp is often found below. And what is especially important for a good bite - there is a little fishing pressure.

You need to start hunting near the Ukhorsky settlements, where you can find fishing places for various tackle: fishing rods, spinning rods, even for wiring from a boat. From the village of Luzhki, there is a good primer going to Pron. If you bypass the whirlpools, countless rifts with a bottom fishing rod, then you won't go home without a decent size of pikes, crucians.

At long distances on spinning, a fishing rod is caught asp, it bites perfectly on a silvery castmaster. Downstream, near the village of Kolentsy, there is also something to profit from. They go through the large village of Aristovo, along the river. There are deep pools near the dam; these are excellent places for fishing.

Fly fishers, spinning fishers can catch ides, pikes, molts in the area of return flows and under the dam. They catch chub with flies. In fast waters: ide, carp, asp, sometimes catfish. At the confluence of the Prony with the Oka there are many white fish, pike perch, asp. The boat will help you catch fish.

The river Ranova is located in the Prony tributary, it is very fishy. The villages of Kipchakovo and partly Knyazhnoye are the most promising places. The river itself is meandering, with the deepest pools and rifts. There are good plots near the village of Klyuchi.

There is a large bubbling spring nearby in the Prony floodplain. Cold spring waters mix with the river and here you can fish kilogram perch and bream with a spinning rod. Near Kurbatovo there is Mostya, from it to the confluence of the Ranova into the Pronya River, you can hunt for donka, spinning. On the pits you need to look for perches, pikes, bream, carp. On the rifts: chub, asp.

What can you fish with? The main thing is that they are not afraid to experiment, they catch it in the wiring, they pick up the bait knowingly:

A particularly good catch will be on spinners equipped with a front load. Lure weight: 5–12 gr.
In clear weather on the shallows, bait with a petal, which has a silvery color, is needed.
On whirlpools and small rifts - baubles with a yellow color and a dull petal.
In a strong current, fishing should be done with floating wobblers.

For large baits, the spinning rod is equipped with:

blank, test from 9-30 gr .;
coil 2500;
braid 13 mm.

For small baits, use a 0.22 mm mono line or a thin braid. For a fishing rod:

rod 6–8 m;
line 0.15 mm;
leash 0.15 mm.

Fishing on the lakes

There are approximately 175 large and small lakes in the region. Six large, 5 sq. km., the rest are less than 0.1 sq. km. There are especially many lakes in the northern part, where the Pra River originates. In all lakes, the water is clean and transparent, you can even see fish swimming up to the nozzle.

The White Lake is especially visited. Its area is 23.5 hectares, the maximum depth is 34.2 m. It borders on the Klepikovsky district and the possessions of the Shatursky district (Moscow region). It is located five hundred meters from the highway Spas-Klepiki - Moscow, near the village of Dubasovo. It was formed in a natural depression, surrounded by a forest.

Has a karst origin: relief bottom, underground caves, underground wells, sinkholes, etc. Aquatic inhabitants: crucian carp, ide, perch, tench, pike, roach, ruff, loach, verkhovka, silver carp, lake trout, carp.

Spinning can catch carp, silver carp. It is better to fish from a boat in early autumn for a worm sandwich and bread. Pike is hunted closer to the west for spinning, mugs, winter girders:

Zherlitsy are placed on underwater slopes, near the edges of aquatic vegetation - a difference in depths of up to 10 m, along the edge of aquatic vegetation.
In winter and early spring, ide, ruff, roach are caught on the jig.
Perch takes winter spoons at a depth of 4–12 m, ide - up to 8–14 m.

The best period for hunting in the lakes is summer. Even in small floodplain lakes there is fish and sometimes more can be caught than on a large river.

Lake Seleznevskoe- has a unique karst origin, an area of 15 hectares is protected. It is located - the highway to Kasimov, not far from the village of Seleznev. The area is 20.5 hectares, the water is darkish, has an admixture of peat particles, but clean.

The greatest depth is in the north-west, reaching 15 m. In this lake, the following are common: ide, crucian carp, perch, ruff, pike, roach, loach and even crayfish. What is caught and what:

Roach- you first need to feed, and then start fishing in the center of the lake, depth up to 3 m or near an overgrown shore.
Small perch- it is caught mainly with a fishing rod; live bait, sweet boilies, maggots, worms are used for bait.
Large perch and ide- caught on spinning and spinning lures of white color. Especially in the spring, at dawn.
Pike- take on mugs, zherlitsa. Spinning is also good, with good rigging and a suitable spoon. Mugs are used in bad or rainy weather, light breeze, in late summer and until September.
In winter- usually only small perch are fished out by sheer trolling, the bite is bad.
In the spring- from the side of the Laptev coast, in the south-western part of the boat you can fish for a roach, roach up to 600 gr.

Lake Great- swamps, wilds, islands, impassable, wild places reign around. There are few human settlements here. The area is 2199.7 hectares, the coastline stretches for 35 km.

How to get there: turn off the Spas-Klepiki-Moscow road immediately after the village of Batykovo. Get to the Raduga signpost, pass the Beloe Lake and to the Lunkino village.

In winter, there are especially a lot of people, because the whole lake becomes accessible:

On the first ice, perch and ruff are fished out on a jig.
A large pike goes to the jig, winter zerlitsy during thaws. For the bait: roach, gudgeon.
Under the ice, far from the coast, large loaches and pikes are caught on summer girders. Equip the tackle with cords and tees.

After spawning, pike are fished out on a spinning rod with artificial bait. For a float rod, live bait is used; it is appropriate to fish with fixed circles. An ide, crucian carp, bream swim near the coast, they are fished out with a fishing rod on maggots. Fishing from a boat will be especially productive in summer and spring.

Large pikes go to the pits of the eastern coast, you can safely fish them there until freezing.

Reservoirs

It is worth remembering that in reservoirs, with a decrease in the water level, the biting increases slightly, and decreases with an increase. The water level changes frequently: in the spring, in the fall - it is replenished, in the summer, in the winter - it decreases. There are four reservoirs in the Ryazan region, let's consider the most famous ones.

Ryazanskaya GRES- created in 1973 by blocking the river Pronya. The reservoir is extremely rich in carp, bream, crucian carp, catfish and pike perch. Does not freeze in winter. You can catch large and trophy specimens.

Pronskoe- formed on the Pronya river. The moving part of the dam, intended for the release of water, is located near the Novomoskovsk district, in the village of Gremyachee. Its length is up to 26 km, the maximum width is 2 km. The area of the reservoir is 1600 hectares, the depth is 4.6 m. Inhabitants: carp, pike, bream, crucian carp, pike perch is found. The most interesting here is ice fishing, in spring from a boat.

Perch can be caught:

float rod: in spring, at a depth of up to 3 m, nozzles: worm, bloodworm.
in the summer for mugs, spinning, fishing rod.
in winter only on the jig. Bait - bait, wobbler, bloodworm.
at the beginning of winter, predatory fish bite on fry, depth 2-3 m.

Pike walks along the entire perimeter in spring, hides in bays in summer, and goes to great depths in autumn.

Roach likes a quiet current, bites well in spring or on the last ice. Favorite places of the mouth of tributaries, upper reaches. The best tackle is a float rod, or a jig. In winter, bloodworms, wobblers are used for the nozzle. In the summer - worms, maggots. You need to look for it at the gateway or at the bottom of the reservoir.
