Before the trip, check the weather forecast in the Carpathians, prepare appropriate clothes for the season and fishing equipment. Follow safety measures if you are going for winter or night fishing. And also don't forget about the so-called fisherman's calendar - certain restrictions on catching fish.
For the most part, fisheries and farms follow government guidelines — they do not allow fishing from March 15 or April 1 to June 9-16. This annual ban applies to fishing of any kind of fish in the entire territory of Ukraine. Spring fishing is not prohibited by law until the beginning of March, when the weather changes almost daily.
Be aware that brook trout fishing is prohibited in October, November and early December. This fish is very sensitive to adverse anthropogenic factors. During the spawning period, it is prohibited not only to catch it, but also to move along the river on any watercraft. There are no such strict restrictions on other fish. You can come fishing in Transcarpathia in summer, autumn and winter, knowing in advance what kind of fish are found in the chosen area.
Where to fish in the Carpathians
In the Carpathians, they fish in natural reservoirs or on bases where trout, char, Danube salmon, carp and other varieties are grown. In the first option, fishing in the Carpathians is free, and in the second, it is paid by agreement. Locals often fish on the Cheremosh and Prut rivers and various mountain lakes.
You can go fishing in Transcarpathia:
- in the Berehiv district - to the lake in the village of Didove;
- in Uzhhorodsky - to the Uzh River or the lake near the village of Solomonovo;
- in Mukachevo — to the lake near the village of Shenborn;
- in Khustsky - to the lake in the village of Nizhny Studeny;
- in Tyachivsk — to the Tisza River;
- in Irshavskyi - to a fishing base or a lake in the village of Dunkovytsia.
They come here at all times of the year, except for the spawning season. In the summer, they fish with a fishing rod, fishing rod and spinning, and in winter - with a fishing rod with a fishing rod or a hook no larger than No. 10.
Locals are unlikely to tell about stocked reservoirs. Like all anglers, they keep their baited spots a secret. If you want to return with a rich catch, look for paid fish farms or closed reservoirs. Be sure to find out if there was a sport fishing competition the day before. After them, it makes no sense to appear at the base - the fish is "overfed" and will not peck at your bait.
Those who want to fish at paid rates pay for:
- 12 hours or 1 day;
- the total weight of the fish caught or the weight of the catch exceeding the established norm;
- gear rental or transportation of own equipment.
In free fishing spots, you won't have to pay anything except for transportation and accommodation. When choosing them, be prepared for the fact that you will lose more time on the road or carry a tent, a supply of water and food. But there is another option, in which a trip to the Carpathians will combine rest, fishing, health and entertainment for the whole family. And all this can be found in the OzeroVita hotel and tourist complex.
Where fishermen rent a room for fishing
On the territory of the OzeroVita complex there are several hotels and cottages with different prices for 1 night. There will be a place for a large family and a company of friends. All guests can fish on the lake, on the shore of which the hotel and tourist complex was built. Thanks to a careful attitude to nature, it was possible to preserve the diversity of fish and the purity of mountain water. Therefore, you can catch from the lake:
- rainbow trout;
- sturgeon;
- carp etc.
The caught "trophies" can be prepared by yourself or given to the restaurant's kitchen, where they will clean it and prepare it for you. If you catch a lot of fish, you can put it in the refrigerator in the room and then take it home with you. In addition, in the "OzeroVita" complex, Carpathian baths, physiotherapy, a salt room, ozokeritotherapy, therapeutic massage and other wellness procedures are waiting for you.
On the territory there are several restaurants with Ukrainian and European cuisine, a heated swimming pool, billiards, tennis and entertainment for children. Each member of the family will find an activity for himself. While you are fishing on the lake, others will be able to visit the SPA room or the modern aqua zone, engage in landscape therapy and admire the picturesque views of the Carpathians.
