Law and fishing rules
Closed season, fishing hours, minimum sizes and daily limit. For guidance only: check them in the fishing regulations of the fishing district
Closed season for all fish
§ 13, paragraphs 3 and 5 of the Act15 Mar – 31 May
fishing for all fish prohibitedoutside this period
The ban does not apply 1 May – 31 May during fishing competitions (§ 13, para. 3). It also does not apply to carp waters that are watercourses (but not reservoirs, dead-end, dead and cut-off arms), or to other water bodies (§ 13, para. 5). Check in the fishing regulations of the district which case your district is.
The protection periods by species (below) apply independently of this closed season.
Daily fishing hours
§ 11 of the DecreeApplies only outside the closed season. Outside these hours fishing is prohibited (§ 14(b) of the Act).
January to April, November, December6.00 – 21.00 h
May4.00 – 24.00 h
June to October0.00 – 24.00 h
Months missing from the table fall within the closed season. The hours in November and December on trout and grayling waters relate to the exception for fishing huchen (§ 13, para. 4 of the Act); check in the fishing regulations what may be caught at that time. On border waters the hours in the permit or the fishing regulations apply (§ 11, para. 2 of the Decree). The Act regulates night fishing in two wordings that seem to contradict each other at first sight, so always ask about it in the fishing regulations of the district or the fishing guard.
Rods, baits and fishing days
§ 18 of the Act- Number of rods
- at most 2
- Permitted methods
- bottom fishing, float fishing, spinning, fly fishing
- Hooks and baits
- on a rod at most 2 hooks (bottom fishing, float fishing), artificial lure at most 3 hooks, a hook at most 3 points, fly fishing at most 3 flies
- Live or dead baitfish
- prohibited 15 Mar – 31 May; otherwise at least 10 cm and above the minimum size
- Fishing days of the week
- the law specifies no restriction
- Ice fishing
- prohibited (watercourses, reservoirs, arms)
- Other
- spinning and fly fishing with a fish imitation prohibited 15 Mar – 31 May; fishing from a boat prohibited on reservoirs 1 Jan – 31 May
This is a summary. For baits, hooks and groundbait also read the fishing regulations of the district, because the user may tighten the conditions.
How many fish you may keep per day
§ 14 of the Decree- 1pcsBlue groupsterlet, Siberian sturgeon, wels catfish
- 2pcsGreen groupeel, carp, burbot, zander, pike, tench, barbel, lake brown trout, brown trout, grayling (combined)

- 5kgOther speciesfor example crucian carp, breams, dace and chub (combined); invasive species are not counted
The blue and green groups cannot be combined. The limit applies per day, also when fishing in several districts, and once it is reached, fishing for that day ends. The species groups follow the SRZ interpretation of January 2026, not the text of the section directly. The district user may set a lower limit in the permit, in which case the stricter one applies.

| Species (name from the data) | Minimum by law | Minimum at this fishing district | Maximum at this fishing district |
|---|---|---|---|
| tench | 30 cm | 40 cm stricter | – |
The "minimum/maximum" value is in cm; "–" means no limit or that we cannot determine it from the data. Species names are shortened in the data, so the comparison with the law is indicative. The user may raise the size or set a maximum size, so the stricter value applies. In case of a conflict follow the fishing regulations of the district.

Before and after fishing

- Before you start fishing, write down the date and the district number (no. 2-2930-1-1); after fishing, write down the number and weight of your catch (§ 14(d) of the Act). Fishing without a record is an offense.
