The New Mother Nature Magazine Calls to Look into the Water Depths

We have a plenty of riches of nature in our land, with endless sea shores, extensive forest areas, plains, mountainous areas and, of course, rich lakes. Read the new Mother Nature (Mammadaba) magazine Deep into the Water Depths (“Dziļi dzelmē”) to find out more about the recreation options offered at the lakes managed by JSC "Latvia's State Forests" (LVM).

LVM Lake Kaņieris is also known among anglers as a pike paradise, and the largest pike caught in the recent years weighed close to 12 kilograms! Tenches, common roaches, common rudds, breams, crucian carps, and other representatives of the lake fauna are to be found in Lake Kaņieris as well. Birdwatchers will also enjoy the lake - there are towers that open picturesque views; attentive watchers will notice white-tailed sea eagles, swans, water rails, and a wide range of waders.

However, if there are anglers who dream about carps rather than about pikes, LVM Tērvete Reservoir should definitely be included in their summer plans. The stock of carps is replenished every year; however, there are also many other species of fish in the reservoir: pikes, perches, breams, tenches, crucian carps and common roaches. If you wish to have a fishing adventure in a company of friends, boat rentals and more than twenty footbridges are available at the recreation site - here you can both enjoy lonesome fishing or organise a real fishing competition.

After a fresh morning, spent on the waters, you can enjoy a warm summer afternoon heading for a beautiful cycling tour. This can be done, for example, in Smiltene, where there are cycling trails of different lengths and levels of complexity available to visitors, leading along various scenic sights and places of recreation. Lake Niedrāja is one of them. The lake is located only 5 km away from the centre of Smiltene, and holidaymakers always admire its crystal clear waters.

Those willing to indulge into nostalgic memories of their first fishing adventure or to draw inspiration to start a new hobby, should read the interview with our beloved actor Intars Rešetins, who tells about his favourite fishing sites, about cooking fish, his childhood memories, and other exciting adventures.

Do you one to take up a challenge and catch your largest pike, or would you like to spend time peacefully together with your family and friends? Just make your choice and hit the road! Have the best catch of your life!
