Fishing in Armenia

Armenia is an interesting destination not only for sightseeing and active travel, but also for fishing. Mountain rivers, cool streams, lakes and reservoirs make it possible to organize anything from a relaxed one-day fishing trip to a real fishing adventure by 4×4 in remote parts of the country.

Travel-Armenia organizes private fishing tours in Armenia for both beginners and experienced anglers. The location is selected according to the season, fishing experience and preferred style of the trip, while transportation, a local fishing guide and the necessary equipment can also be arranged.

Where Can You Go Fishing in Armenia?

The country’s best-known lake is Lake Sevan, situated at an altitude of around 1,900 metres above sea level. Fishing here is organized in accordance with current environmental and fishing regulations, as Sevan has a special ecological status and its endemic Sevan trout, known as ishkhan, is a protected species.

For keen anglers, however, some of Armenia’s most interesting fishing experiences can be found on its mountain rivers and streams. Fishing trips can be arranged in Lori, Tavush, Vayots Dzor, Syunik and other mountainous regions of the country. The Debed, Arpa and Hrazdan river basins are among the areas that can be considered depending on the season and current conditions.

One of the most interesting options is wild trout fishing. Some fishing locations are far from the main roads, turning the journey itself into a small expedition — travelling by 4×4 through the mountains, walking along a remote river and spending several hours fishing far away from the usual tourist routes.

Trout Fishing in Armenia

For those looking for a more active fishing experience, we can arrange trips to mountain rivers and streams with an experienced local fishing guide.

Depending on the location and conditions, fishing can be organized with spinning or fly-fishing equipment.

For wild trout, we recommend the Catch & Release principle, helping to protect natural fish populations and Armenia’s mountain ecosystems.

Where regulations and conditions allow, the catch can also be prepared outdoors as part of the trip.

Здесь я немного поправил русский смысл. Фраза «также можем приготовить пойманную рыбу» сразу после Catch & Release выглядит противоречиво 🙂 Поэтому английский вариант четче объясняет: дикая форель — желательно Catch & Release; приготовление улова — только там, где это разрешено и уместно.
