The rivers and streams of Bohemian Switzerland offer quiet fishing in picturesque countryside. The Kamenice, the Křinice and the Elbe hold trout, grayling and other species.
Fishing waters nearby
The nearest fishing waters are on the Kamenice and the Křinice. The Kamenice is known for its population of brown trout and grayling — it is a strict catch-and-release water. On the Elbe near Děčín you will find waters with a more varied mix of fish, including carp, bream and perch. For reservoir fishing, the nearest is the Chřibská dam, where carp and pike do well.
Practical information
To fish in the Czech Republic you need a valid fishing licence and a permit for the particular water. The fishing licence is issued by the municipal office, and permits are issued by the local anglers' associations. Short-term permits for 1–7 days are available for foreign guests. Special rules apply in the national park — some stretches of the rivers are closed to fishing for conservation reasons.
