Best Time to Fish Suchy Zbiornik Retencyjny Serafa - "Bieżanów" in Poland
Poland's main coarse fishing season runs year-round for most species on PZW-managed waters, though specific waters may have seasonal restrictions noted on the permit. Coarse fishing for pike and perch can be excellent in winter on larger Polish lakes, while warmer months bring more active bream, roach and tench. Summer evenings are often the most productive session window.
Water temperatures in Poland drop significantly from November through March — plan accordingly if travelling from the UK during winter months. Spring thaw (March–April) can make access to riverbank venues difficult in low-lying areas.
