City lake in Kolomyia
After touring the city, it's a good idea to relax and unwind by the water. The city lake is a good place for this. In summer, you can take a dip in the water or just sit on the shore. By the way, if you are fond of fishing, bring your spinning rod. Local fishermen like to organize competitions on the lake. So there is a chance to catch a big fish! In winter, life is also in full swing here. During frosty winters, when the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice, locals organize a skating rink on the reservoir. The nearest hotel near the lake is the Mini-hotel Oazis.

What bites now and on what
There is no official fish list and no state stocking for this lake — local anglers stock it themselves, with no published figures. So we list no species and give no bite forecast. Don’t confuse it with Shevchenko Lake by the Prut dam, where carp fry were released in March 2025.
