Visibility is usually not more than a few metres, but some of the more northern lakes can have 10 metres vis.
You guys are blessed. Here we have to drive 15 hours to the Volga delta to find decent fish, guaranteed. - the combined effect of Soviet industries dumping ruthlessly everything they could into rivers, lakes and continuing poaching - electrocuting fish, using nets - you name it. Lakes have less fish because of all that, than rivers.
And the visibility in the Moscow area for rivers hardly exceeds three meters even when it is greatest - in late fall/winter. A vizibility of a couple of meters is considered to be good.
I gotta make it to Canada one day.
