Recreational fishing on Lake Šaminis

Fishing

Lake Šaminis is a private and abundantly stocked reservoir, which has already presented its visitors with catches of exceptional size. The lake encourages environmentally friendly fishing, adhering to the catch-and-release rule. We invite you to keep the most valuable gift for yourself: impressions and emotions. All trophy fish that have once been hooked successfully return to their native element and continue to gain weight for future encounters.

For the convenience of anglers, the lake has artificial islands that have no analogues in Lithuania. This will definitely help you escape from the bustling civilization and relax in the cradle of nature. Not only boats and fishing equipment rental are offered, but also professional fishing guide services. You can choose specialized fishing for carp, catfish, pike, perch, bream or pike.

The water chestnut agar grows in the lake, although official sources state that it has long been extinct in Lithuania. Our family is trying to restore the water chestnut population, so scientific research is currently underway. We cordially invite you to get acquainted with this gem of the lake, any attempts to harm the plant's vegetation are not tolerated.
