Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know before you arrive
No. We are a private operator, so a state fishing licence is not required. Fishing experience is a condition, though — you must know how to handle fish properly: land them carefully, unhook them safely and return them to the water.
Yes, dogs are welcome. We only ask that you always clean up after your dog and respect the peace of the other anglers on the water.
Our waters have only 1–3 fishing spots each, so it is quiet by the water and you practically have it to yourselves. Every water is different — the facilities and the number of anglers per fishing spot are listed for each water. If there are more of you, usually 5 anglers or more, you can easily book the whole water, i.e. all of its fishing spots. Ostrovní is always booked as a whole water for one group.
Yes, all our waters are strictly catch & release — fish may not be taken away. With predators in particular you need to be very careful: remove the hook properly and gently so the fish comes to no harm, and return it to the water as quickly as possible. That is why the trophy fish are still in the water.
Lure fishing only, strictly catch & release, a maximum of 1 rod per angler. Lures may carry a single single hook only; trebles are forbidden. A tungsten or steel trace at least 50 cm long with an 8 kg breaking strain (or fluorocarbon of at least 0.80 mm) is compulsory, with mono of at least 0.30 mm or braid of at least 0.13 mm. A landing net (min. 70 cm) and an unhooking mat are compulsory when handling pike. Fishing is from dawn to dusk, never at night; the water has 4 jetties and at most 4 anglers fish at the same time. The full rules are on the water’s page.
You book online through the calendar — choose a water, a fishing spot and your dates. Your booking is confirmed immediately and you receive the payment details by e-mail. Payment by bank transfer is due within 5 days (the due date is in the confirmation and in your account), and we send you a reminder beforehand. If nothing arrives by then, the booking is cancelled and the dates are released to other anglers. You can also pay part of the price with a gift voucher or credit.
Yes, you can order a gift voucher online. Choose a ready-made package (a catfish or carp weekend with a lodge for 2 anglers, or a day on the Pike Special for 2) or a value voucher for any amount from CZK 1,000, which can be used gradually across several bookings on all our waters. The voucher carries a personal message and is valid for 12 months from payment — once it arrives, we e-mail the voucher to you.
Yes. You enter the voucher code when booking and its value is applied straight away; if it does not cover the whole price, you pay the rest by bank transfer. Credit on your account (for example from an overpayment) can pay for all or part of a booking.
Yes, 14 or more days before arrival you can change the dates yourself in your account, depending on availability. There is no fee for the change; if the new dates cost a different amount, you pay the difference or we refund it. Less than 14 days before arrival the dates can no longer be changed — in that case, give us a call.
Yes, in your account under the booking via “Edit items”, no later than 5 days before arrival. Items can be removed or the number of anglers reduced until 14 days before arrival. Less than 5 days before arrival you can no longer change the items yourself — call the fishery manager. If the price goes up, you pay the difference on site, or by bank transfer if you paid the full amount in advance.
Yes, children are welcome when accompanied by an adult. For children who fish, all waters offer a reduced Junior angler price (up to 13 years); anyone who does not fish is added as a Non-fishing companion. You choose both directly in the booking.
On all waters with carp — including Catfish Pond — a landing net (min. 70 cm) and an unhooking mat are compulsory, and please bring fish antiseptic too (Betadine, Klinik…). Catfish Pond and the Pike Special also have their own tackle rules — you will find them on the water’s page. What each fishing spot offers (lodge, bivvy, electricity, shower) is listed for every water.
We don’t sell bait fish ourselves, but we recommend Josef Havlíček, tel. +420 607 062 019. This number is not for bookings.
Yes, the Pike Special at Žíšov offers ice fishing in winter. You book it the same way as in summer, through the calendar; the manager assesses the ice and in bad weather may cancel ice fishing or have you fish from the jetties.
What are the cancellation terms?
The cancellation fee depends on how long before your dates you cancel the booking:
| Days before arrival | Cancellation fee |
|---|---|
| 14 days or more | 0% |
| 7–13 days | 50% |
| less than 7 days | 100% |
We charge a cancellation fee to cover administrative costs and because a late cancellation means the dates can no longer be taken by another guest.
14 or more days before arrival you cancel the booking yourself in your account and the cancellation takes effect immediately. Later than that, you submit a cancellation request in your account and we assess it under the cancellation terms. If you have already paid something, the amount above the cancellation fee is returned to you as credit on your account — it never expires and you can use it for any future booking. A refund to your bank account is possible by arrangement.
