About Czech Fishing Guide
Our Mission
Czech Fishing Guide was created to share the exceptional angling opportunities found throughout the Czech Republic with fishermen from around the world. Our goal is to provide accurate, practical information that helps visitors plan successful fishing trips while respecting local regulations and conservation efforts.
The Czech Republic offers some of Europe's finest freshwater fishing, from world-class trout streams in the Sumava Mountains to productive carp waters in southern Moravia. Despite this wealth of fishing opportunities, comprehensive English-language resources have historically been limited.
We aim to bridge this gap by offering detailed guides to fishing locations, equipment recommendations tailored to Czech conditions, and practical advice on permits, seasons, and local customs.

Sustainable Fishing Practices
The Czech Republic has a long tradition of fishery management dating back centuries. Today, the country maintains healthy fish populations through a combination of regulations, stocking programs, and habitat conservation.
We encourage all visiting anglers to:
- Practice catch-and-release, especially for wild fish
- Use barbless hooks or flatten barbs to minimize handling damage
- Carry rubber-mesh landing nets required on many waters
- Respect closed seasons and size limits
- Leave riverbanks cleaner than you found them
By fishing responsibly, we can help ensure that Czech waters remain productive for generations of anglers to come.
