Filter by species, water type and size. Permit and rules information for every public venue in Ústí nad Labem and across Czechia.
The Ústí nad Labem region covers the lower Labe (Elbe) and the post-mining lakes of the north Bohemian coalfield — Milada (about 250 ha), Most (Benedikt) and the smaller Matylda — flooded opencast pits that have become clear, deep stillwaters. Lake Vrbenský near Most is cited for carp to 26 kg.
Managed by ČRS Severočeský územní svaz. The mine lakes and the Labe are non-trout revíry; hours are set per revír. A rybářský lístek plus the ČRS povolenka are required; a 30-day tourist licence is available to visitors.
Every angler needs a Czech state fishing licence (rybářský lístek) from the municipal office (1, 3 or 10 years). Since 2017 visitors can buy a 30-day tourist licence that skips the written test.
On top of that you need a permit (povolenka) for the specific water from the Czech Anglers Union (ČRS) in Bohemia or the Moravian Anglers Union (MRS) in Moravia, sold by their regional bodies (územní svazy) and partner tackle shops.
There is no national night-fishing clock rule — daily fishing hours are set per revír in the rybářský řád, reissued each year. On non-trout (mimopstruhový) waters overnight fishing is routine; trout (pstruhový) waters are daylight-only with a winter closed season. Predators (pike, pikeperch, perch, catfish, asp) are protected 1 January–15 June on non-trout water.
Whether you can bivvy overnight is genuinely unsettled in Czech law (ČRS, 2026): a shelter for active fishing is accepted, a full camp is not, and it comes down to the landowner and local rules. Check signage or use an official campsite.
