Public fishing lakes, rivers and canals in Zlín.
Filter by species, water type and size. Permit and rules information for every public venue in Zlín and across Czechia.
The Zlín region follows the Morava and its tributary the Bečva through east Moravia, with the Bystřička reservoir in the Vsetín hills and the Baťa Canal — a 50 km navigation canal along the Morava that is itself a fishing revír.
MRS manages the revíry. The Baťa Canal and the lower Morava are non-trout water; the Beskydy and Javorníky streams are trout and grayling water. A rybářský lístek plus the MRS povolenka are required; a 30-day tourist licence is available.
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.
