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 Decree
Applies 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.
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.
Protection periods by species§ 10 of the Decree
During this period the species must not be caught, even if the water type otherwise allows fishing at that time. It applies independently of the closed season for all fish.

Some species are protected all year round (for example zingel and streber, lampreys, gudgeons, spined loaches, maraena whitefish, Carpathian barbel, sabre carp) and fishing for them is always prohibited. The full list of species is in the guide The fishing law, rule by rule.
Minimum sizes§ 12 of the Decree
The shortest length from which you may keep a fish. The district user may raise the size, so look for the valid value in the permit and the fishing regulations.
Total length is measured from the front of the head to the end of the longest ray of the tail fin (§ 12, para. 4). No minimum size applies, for example, to sunbleak, Prussian carp, European perch, roach, stone loach and invasive species.
Before and after fishing
Carry your fishing license and permit while fishing and show them when checked (§ 12 of the Act). Check that they are valid.
Before you start fishing, write down the date and the district number (no. 1-0151-1-1); after fishing, write down the number and weight of your catch (§ 14(d) of the Act). Fishing without a record is an offense.
Prohibited fishing methods, night fishing, competitions and other rules are covered in the guide The fishing law, rule by rule.
As of 6 Nov 2026: Act no. 216/2018 Coll. on fisheries (wording effective 1 Jan 2022) and Decree no. 381/2018 Coll. (wording effective 1 Jan 2019); we found no newer wording. The law may change; you can find the current wording on Slov-Lex (Act) and Slov-Lex (Decree).

According to the geological map: fluviálne sedimenty: litofaciálne nečlenené nivné hliny, alebo piesčité až štrkovité hliny dolinných nív a nív horských potokov, holocén
The fishing district description states the bottom: bedrock, stony; the geological map shows something different, and the district description is more precise.
The map shows the bedrock geology, not the exact bottom at the spot. The actual bottom material may differ, especially where sediment has been deposited.

Suitability of the water for carp, trout and grayling species based on its properties
Water suitability for the fishing district type
Water suitability for the district typeIndex 0 to 100: how well the properties of the water match the needs of trout, grayling or carp, depending on the district type. It is not a bite forecast or a statement about which fish live there.
Water of average suitability for carp and cyprinids
The water is in the bottom 21% of 897 carp fishing districts with data.
Best fit: water acidity (pH)
Most missing: stream zone
Reliability medium: we used 5 water data points; the rest are missing and are not part of the assessment.
Stream zoneLevel of evidence: Partly supported
gradient 6.9 ‰, 193 m a.s.l. → barbel zone
Based on gradient and elevation, the stream lies in an area that corresponds to the barbel zone. This is not a natural zone for carp and cyprinids; the fish are here more thanks to stocking and local conditions.
What we know about it
European streams are divided from source to mouth into zones with typical fish: trout, grayling, barbel and lowland; they are determined mainly by gradient and stream size (Huet 1959), and the zones can also be used to assess the condition of streams (Aarts and Nienhuis 2003). We estimate the zone from the gradient of the fishing district's line and its elevation; it is a simplification without stream width. A match between the zone and the fishing district type adds +1 to quality, a clear mismatch −1.

Water hardnessLevel of evidence: Hypothesis
≈ 16.0 °dH (2.9 mmol/l of calcium and magnesium), ŠGÚDŠ atlas
Harder water with enough calcium and magnesium is more productive, has a larger food supply and buffers acidity swings better.
What we know about it
Water with calcium and magnesium is more productive and buffers acidity swings better: trout production was higher in calcareous hard waters (Almodóvar et al. 2006), and an index based on dissolved solids and depth predicts fish yield from lakes (Ryder et al. 1974). In Irish streams, however, geology did not change trout density (Lehane et al. 2004), and Downing et al. (1990) showed that production is related rather to primary production. Hence only ±1 point. Hardness comes from the ŠGÚDŠ atlas, not from a measurement in the fishing district; it replaces the separately assessed bedrock of the basin.
Sources: Almodóvar et al. 2006; Lehane et al. 2004; Ryder et al. 1974
96
Water acidity (pH)Level of evidence: Partly supported
pH 7.8, ŠGÚDŠ atlas
The pH is within the range in which fish commonly thrive.
What we know about it
Below about pH 6 fish suffer, and trout and grayling are more sensitive than cyprinids (Alabaster and Lloyd 1982); in acidic soft water, aluminium is released from the soil and damages gills (Gensemer and Playle 1999). The pH from the atlas is a model estimate, so the reduction is only −1 or −2, and only where we have no pH measurement (which is assessed by a separate factor).
Sources: Alabaster and Lloyd 1982; Gensemer and Playle 1999
100
MineralizationLevel of evidence: Hypothesis
≈ 471 mg/l, ŠGÚDŠ atlas
Medium mineralisation corresponds to productive streams and reservoirs.
What we know about it
Dissolved solids (mineralisation) are related to the fertility of the water, which is why Ryder used them to estimate fish production in lakes (Ryder 1965, Ryder et al. 1974). Downing et al. (1990) showed, however, that primary production is a better predictor of production. It does not enter the score, only the suitability index.
Sources: Ryder 1965; Ryder et al. 1974; Downing et al. 1990
98
Metals in sedimentLevel of evidence: Partly supported
0 elements among the highest 10 % in Slovakia (ŠGÚDŠ atlas 1999)
None of the toxic elements in river sediment is among the highest values. In hard water metals are less toxic, because calcium competes for sites on the gills.
What we know about it
The toxicity of metals to fish decreases with water hardness, because calcium competes with the metal for sites on the gills (Pagenkopf 1983). The ŠGÚDŠ atlas gives only the rank among streams, not a concentration comparable with a limit (MacDonald et al. 2000). In hard water we therefore rate metals more leniently, in soft water more strictly.

How this water would suit each type
Trout77
Grayling88
Carp73
The same water data evaluated against the requirements of trout, grayling and carp. The fishing district is registered as a carp district; its type is highlighted.
The index 0 to 100 compares the properties of the water with the requirements of the species (60 is the neutral value, 100 the ideal). The verbal rating comes from comparison with other fishing districts of the same type, because most Slovak waters have good values for their species. The index does not affect whether fish really occur in the fishing district (that is decided by stocking and the manager). Hardness, pH and mineralisation from the atlases are historical and model estimates. Only a small part of this feeds into the conditions score and fishing district quality (hardness ±1, atlas acidity −2 to 0, stream zone match ±1 to quality).

Píla – Gidra · level stable
The water level is stable.Water level trendSlightly rising water washes food out of the banks and activates fish, which move into slacks and behind obstacles. Rapid rising brings turbidity and fish do not bite; falling water after a flood often dampens bites. A stable water level is usually pleasant for fishing, and fish keep settled holding places.

Groundwater reaches streams as base flow, so the connection to the stream at the fishing district is only indirect. Natural substances (iron, manganese, sulfates, conductivity) are not counted in the yearbook-based assessment.
The data comes from the SHMÚ yearbooks (groundwater 2017 to 2025).
Groundwater: measured values
Groundwater nearby (SHMÚ)Measured groundwater values from stations within 10 km of the fishing district (nitrates, harmful substances, ammonium, iron, chlorides) and the SHMÚ yearbooks.
A typical value from 2 groundwater stations within 10 km of the fishing district (nearest 5.1 km), measured in 2025. Closer stations carry more weight. This is groundwater near the district, not a measurement in the watercourse itself. The standard is the limit that SHMÚ gives for the indicator (for drinking water); a value equal to the standard counts as an exceedance, as it does at SHMÚ. The label "somewhere above the standard" means that the typical value is below the standard but at least one station exceeds it; which one is shown on the tile. Fish are more sensitive to some substances than people are.

How it affects fish and the water
Ammonium
Ammonium ions are not very toxic in themselves, but depending on pH and temperature part of them turns into ammonia (NH₃), which damages the gills and stresses fish. The higher the pH and temperature, the more ammonia there is (Emerson et al. 1975). The repealed Directive 2006/44/EC gave a guideline of at most 0.04 mg/l of ammonium for salmonid waters and 0.2 mg/l for cyprinid waters.
Nitrites
Nitrites are toxic to fish: they pass through the gills into the blood and turn hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not carry oxygen, so fish "suffocate" even in oxygenated water. Salmonids are the most sensitive; chlorides in the water reduce the toxicity (Lewis and Morris 1986). Directive 2006/44/EC gave a guideline of 0.01 mg/l for salmonid waters.
Nitrates
Nitrates do not harm adult fish immediately, but they feed algae and plants and so contribute to over-fertilization and nighttime oxygen crashes. For sensitive aquatic animals (salmonids, amphibians, some invertebrates) Camargo et al. (2005) recommend keeping nitrates below 2 mg of nitrogen per liter, which is about 9 mg/l of nitrates.
Oxygen
Fish, especially salmonids, need a lot of oxygen. Directive 2006/44/EC gave a guideline of 9 mg/l for salmonid waters (in at least half of the measurements) and never less than 7 mg/l. Groundwater from deeper layers often has less of it; in the stream it is re-oxygenated only after it emerges.
Water temperature
Groundwater has an almost constant temperature throughout the year. Inflow from springs can therefore cool a stream in summer and warm it in winter, and such sections often serve as refuges for cold-water fish (Hayashi and Rosenberry 2002).
pH
Fish tolerate a pH of roughly 6 to 9 (Directive 2006/44/EC). Outside this range the gills are damaged and the toxicity of ammonia and metals changes.
Water hardness
Harder water (more calcium and magnesium) is better for fish: calcium protects the gills and reduces the toxicity of metals such as copper and zinc (Pagenkopf 1983), and keeps the pH stable. Soft water is more sensitive to metals and to acidification.
Iron
Iron is dissolved in groundwater at depth. When the water reaches the air, it oxidizes and precipitates as brown flocs that clog gills, cover gravel with eggs and invertebrates, and destroy shelters (Vuori 1995).
Manganese
Manganese is natural in deeper groundwater. For fish it tends to matter less than iron; the standard applies mainly because of the taste and color of drinking water.
Chlorides
Chlorides come from road salt, fertilizers and waste. The US EPA (1988) set 230 mg/l for long-term protection of aquatic life and 860 mg/l for short-term.
Sulphates
Sulfates are common in groundwater; they come from rocks (for example gypsum), fertilizers and mines. Together with chlorides they raise the mineralization of the water; the standard of 250 mg/l is set for drinking water.
Conductivity
Conductivity shows the total amount of dissolved salts. A higher value in groundwater is often natural (limestone, gypsum), but a sharp increase in a stream points to an inflow of salts from roads, mines or waste.
Metals and metalloids
Copper, zinc, nickel, cadmium and mercury are toxic to fish even at low concentrations, more so in soft water than in hard water (Pagenkopf 1983). The groundwater standard is set for drinking water, not for fish.

What this means for anglersexplanation of the bottom, vegetation, watercourse line and other data of this fishing district
Depth: Shallow, up to 1 m
It warms up and cools down quickly. Fish are shy; a quiet approach and a delicate rig help.
Bottom: Stony bottom
Typical of fast mountain and foothill streams. There are shelters for trout and other fish among the stones, but your rig often gets snagged.
Watercourse line: Straight line
Even depth and current. Fish stay near the bank, stones, roots and at the boundary of faster and slower current.
Shade: Sunny, up to 10% shade
In summer the water warms up quickly and aquatic plants and algae thrive here. At midday fish move to deeper places.
Vegetation: Willow
Grows by the water; the roots stabilize the bank and create shelters beneath the surface. The branches hang over the water and provide shade and insects.
Vegetation: Alder
A typical tree of stream and river banks. A dense root system creates undercut banks and shelters, and the leaves decompose quickly.
Cross-channel structures: none
Fish can move freely along the watercourse; the section is more continuous.
The explanation is general and based on the fishing district description in the data and on common fishing practice. Actual conditions on site may differ; check them before you fish.

Ground under the water: geology, faults and radon
Bedrock, watercourse and springs on the map, values at the location of the water, geomagnetic activity and earthquakes. This is information about the environment; only small hypotheses marked with a confidence level (faults and rocks, geomagnetic storm) enter the score.

Geology
Geological map of Slovakia 1 : 50,000: rocks beneath the surface, from alluvial gravels and sands through clays to granites and limestones. Colors follow the ŠGÚDŠ legend; clicking the map shows a description of the rock at that spot.
For anglers: Gravel bars and rocky riffles give a clean bottom and habitat for zander, perch and barbel. Clayey and muddy ground holds food for carp and bream. Limestone and dolomite give harder water that is richer in food than granite and quartzite.
Radon risk
Radon risk of the bedrock (low, medium, high). It is based on the radioactivity of rocks and on fissures. The map shows the bedrock, not radon in water.
For anglers: Radon is a natural tracer of groundwater. Bedrock with a higher radon risk (granite, gneiss, tectonic faults) tends to be where fissure water comes to the surface. Most of Slovakia is "medium", so mainly a high risk is of interest.
low 36.7%
medium 63.0%
high 0.3%
Uranium (eU)
Equivalent uranium in surface rocks from airborne gamma spectrometry (ppm). From 4 ppm the bedrock is usually classified as having an elevated radon risk.
For anglers: A high uranium level is a sign of granite, gneiss and black shales, that is, rocks from which radon and dissolved substances get into the water. It has no direct meaning for bites, but it helps to read the geology of the area.

covered by younger sedimentsQuaternary (young)
Fissure groundwater flows out of the bedrock along faults and at springs. It tends to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter than the water in the stream, so according to anglers' experience fish stay near such places in extreme weather (summer and winter islands of a more suitable temperature).
However, fresh fissure water can have little oxygen. This is anglers' experience, not a phenomenon measured at this fishing district.
Faults are from the geological map at 1 : 50,000. Springs come from a hydrogeological map that covers only some regions, so zero does not mean there are no springs there.

Kp (0 to 9) measures the fluctuation of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the solar wind. From 5 it counts as a geomagnetic storm. Fish, especially salmonids and eels, sense the magnetic field. That their bites depend on Kp has not been shown, though: these are anglers' observations and hypotheses.
The value is the same for the whole of Slovakia. It enters the activity score only during a strong geomagnetic storm (a hypothesis, −1 to −2 points).

Within 150 km over the last 30 days (from magnitude 0.0).
According to angling lore, fish (especially catfish and eels) react restlessly to tremors beforehand or stop biting. This is not reliably proven, and with weak tremors it is coincidence. People mostly do not notice deeper tremors from the Carpathians (for example near Komárno and Dobrá Voda) at all.
The GEOFON catalog is global; weak tremors near Slovakia may not all be in it. It is not counted in the activity score.

They breed in standing water, so they are worst around reservoirs, oxbow lakes and floodplain forests, especially at sunset.
How to protect yourself: When fishing in the evening and at night wear long sleeves, repellent and a net. Warmth and humidity after rain speed up mosquito development.
Transmits tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease. It waits in tall grass and in the vegetation along banks.
How to protect yourself: From spring to autumn check yourself after fishing, use repellent and tuck long trousers into your socks. Remove a tick as soon as possible with tweezers. A vaccination against encephalitis exists.
It comes to the water to wallow and drink, mainly at dusk and at night.
How to protect yourself: A wild boar sow with piglets can be aggressive. Keep your distance, do not spend the night on a game trail and do not leave food scraps near the water.
