Varvarovskoe reservoir, Volgograd region, Russia. Varvarovskoe Reservoir Water temperature in Varvarovskoe Reservoir

Having sailed under the bridge, along which the road laid along the canal passes from one bank to the other, the ship goes to the Varvarovsky reservoir.

On the banks there are two buildings, under which the retractable doors of the repair and barrier gates are hidden in niches. If necessary, they can close in the riverbed, separating the entire Volga slope from the watershed. This is convenient in case of repairs when you need to temporarily dry an area.

Meanwhile, the channel bed is expanding, reaching 200 meters in places. Here the route crosses the former bed of the steppe river Chervlenaya many times. This channel was straightened and dams were erected in places. In some places concrete spillway trays are visible.

After we have sailed along the canal route for more than 30 kilometers, the ship comes out to the Varvarovskoye reservoir, which supplies water to the entire Volga slope. From here the descent to the Don, to the Tsimlyansk Sea begins.

On the Volga slope, the path of water and ships is the same - through the locks. On the Don slope, these paths are different in certain areas: water flows away from the locks through feeder canals and reservoirs.

From the Tsimlyansk Sea, a powerful pumping station supplies water up behind the dam of the Karpov Reservoir. From here it goes through a special supply channel, bypassing two locks, to the second pumping station. It pumps it even higher, to the Bereslavskoye Reservoir. Finally, the third pumping station lifts water into the watershed Varvarovskoye reservoir, along which we are now sailing.

To our right - expanse of water. The distance to the shore is one and a half to two kilometers. The huge dam of the Varvarovsky hydroelectric complex, which stretches in a straight line on the horizon, is getting closer and closer.

The ship goes to the tenth lock. It stands at the beginning of a short section of the shipping canal connecting the Varvarovskoye reservoir with the Bereslavsky reservoir. Ahead on the left you can see the village of workers of the Varvarovsky hydroelectric complex with a young orchard. On the shore of the reservoir there is a monument in honor of the heroes of the defense of Tsaritsyn. On the right on the embankment near the gateway there are bronze busts of heroes civil war- N. A. Rudneva, F. A. Artema (Sergeeva), A. Ya. Parkhomenko.

On the wall of the left tower at the upper gate of the lock, golden letters read:

“Here in August - September 1918, on the outskirts of Tsaritsyn, the heroic regiments of the Red Army crushed the interventionists and White Guards with selfless courage.

V.I. Lenin and J.V. Stalin highly appreciated the valor of the revolutionary troops of the Tsaritsyn Front."

On the memorial plaque of the right tower is an excerpt from a telegram from V.I. Lenin and I.V. Stalin to front commander K.E. Voroshilov with fraternal greetings to the troops of the Tsaritsyn Front.

Until now, the ship approached the locks from the downstream side and rose with the water. Now we are approaching from the upper pool and we have to descend from the watershed into the canal, which has the same level as the Bereslavsky reservoir.

To the right of the lock, a pumping station is visible above the dam.

The waters of the Varvarovskoye reservoir were used to power the new irrigation system. A gravity canal branching off from the highway is almost 40 kilometers long. Along it, water flows to the fields of the Khrushchev and Red Partisan collective farms, and irrigates the lands of the Volgo-Don state farm.

Spring feeder, search for a key.
Greetings colleagues. So the time came when I was able to really, with an overnight stay, go fishing on the feeder. My dear wife Olenka started a short vacation, and we decided to go fishing together. Initially, we thought of getting out into the floodplain forest, to one good pond, and catching tench and crucian carp there on a float, but since the flood began and, having arrived at the place in the evening, in the morning we could end up on the island, we decided not to risk it. We told our fortunes on the maps, looked at the weather forecast, but it wasn’t encouraging either, we decided to rush to the Varvarovskoye Reservoir, not very far from home, and even if it rains heavily, there’s no problem getting out of there in a sedan. The preparations did not take long, because the decision came spontaneously, and we always have everything ready. We took with us a small but reliable tent, two cots, sleeping bags, chairs and a camp gas stove. We arrived at the place, got smart with the bait, poured in the remains of the “crab-bloodworm” attractant from Richworth; last year its addition led to very good results in the spring. The smell is very strong and in my opinion unpleasant. But what may seem disgusting to us is like a sweet delicacy to the fish. At six in the evening we made the first cast. Worm attachment, asymmetrical loop, that's all. It was warm, we warmed up the tea, we sat and admired it. Birds sing, cuckoos crow, frogs start their song, beauty and that’s all. But there are no bites. There was a thunder behind us, we looked like there was a good storm front coming. It’s time to prepare for his meeting; we quickly set up the tent and get everything else ready. There was a sharp whiff of cold, we began to warm ourselves, as I wrote earlier, woolen socks are rarely superfluous, and this time they added pleasant warmth to our uniform. Your feet are warm and you won’t freeze. So the first drops fell, timid and unhurried, and that’s all, the cloud circles us in an incredible arc, it’s not the first time I’ve noticed such an anomaly in this very place. Well, we're better off. True, after that, endless strings of huge clouds and smaller ones stretched out, the forecast from the Internet came true, the weather deteriorated and the bite was not expected. We try to pace it, move the rods more often, adding more and more bait to the zone, but in vain. The first bite, like a bolt from the blue, occurs at half past twelve at night, resulting in a small bream. At least we sat for another hour and went to bed, tired, chilly and not biting. I set the alarm for four in the morning. Rise. I threw down my gear, it was very cold, there was an unpleasant wind, I warmed up the tea, the pleasant warmth and aroma brought back the desire to defeat the stubborn fish. Then a man drives up, he also wants to fish, and asks permission to stand next to him. By the way, the fishing place is very small, it’s a clearing in the reeds, three meters wide, of course you can cast wider, like a fan. In cramped conditions, but not in offence. He sets up his three rods, I have two. I filled it with porridge, planted maggots in the water. Not even five minutes had passed, the guy got a bite, a decent bream, before he had time to unhook it, he got a second bite on his rod, I help him, I fish it myself, it’s awkward for me to turn the reel with my right hand. Another bream, and larger. It’s clear, Ivan, that’s how he introduced himself, he’s happy, he doesn’t hide his euphoria. He also offers me to plant the maggot he brought. Why refuse, I’m replanting one feeder. Its feeder equipment, in addition to the anti-twist tube, has interesting feature, in front of the feeder there is an oval sail cut out of a plastic bottle, which allows the feeder to immediately float up. Interesting, but in appearance, everything is too cumbersome and, in my opinion, can scare away cautious fish, although for now, it is clearly in the lead. Ivan catches the third bream, my gear is silent, I start to think, either he has a mess of a different system, or he knows some magic words. Well, the tip of my rod twitched, I hooked, the same bream, then another, and on a worm. So guess what she needs? The third bite, I felt a big one, I released the clutch, pulled it closer, a very large bream, it didn’t give up. Then the man starts tugging at me, he took the landing net in his hands and said, drag it faster, now it’ll do, out of habit, I’m not in a hurry, but in the end, under his pressure, I give in, I pulled the clutch, pulled harder, and right at the landing net there was a sharp jerk and dismount. Ivan is annoyed that I didn’t drag him faster, so I got off, I have my own opinion, I’m trying to calm down, I mentally curse myself that I followed the lead and forced things. It’s still my fault, you can’t listen to anyone, especially since I have a lot of experience in major trophies. Oh well. After the fish is gone, there are no bites and that’s it. We sit and feel sad. Let me add that the weather is completely unstable in the morning, cold, cloudy, and drops of rain fall from time to time. My darling woke up and immediately began to get busy, changing the nozzle, making sandwiches with corn, and so on. And it is starting to bear fruit. Here again, a daring bite, the line was immediately pulled to the side. I guess it's a crucian carp and I'm not mistaken, a good little yellow one. We begin to change tactics, the bait is a worm, but after filling the feeder, we spray another attractant on it and on the worm, cast to another place, completely different, not where it was feeding all the time, immediately bite, another crucian carp. Then silence, we spray another smell, again a trophy in the landing net, then the next one, different attractants all the time. They don’t bite on the same one, even if you sit there for an hour. But once you spray a new one, there will be a bite within 5 minutes, fortunately we have a lot of goodies. That's how, in the end, we defeated the underwater inhabitants and our fishing neighbor. He didn't have any more fish. This is such a strange spring feeder, not at all like in the summer. What does this fish need? How to stir her up? It seems that we succeeded, with difficulty, but there were more joyful emotions from working fishing. Well, it’s time for us to go home, but Ivan stayed behind to win his victory...
