Filter by species, water type and size. Permit and rules information for every public venue in Alba and across Romania.
Alba county sits in the heart of Transylvania where the Apuseni mountains meet the Mureș valley. The Arieș and its headwater tributaries in the Apuseni are managed trout water, while the Sebeș valley holds the high, scenic Oașa reservoir on the edge of the Șureanu mountains. Down on the Mureș plain around Alba Iulia and Aiud the fishing turns to carp, bream and pike-perch in gravel pits and small accumulation lakes.
Lacul Oașa is the headline stillwater — a large mountain reservoir stocked with trout and coregonus, reached by the Transalpina road. Alba's mountain and Apuseni salmonid sectors are administered by RNP-Romsilva (daylight fishing only, artificial lures); the lowland Mureș-valley waters are contracted to AJVPS Alba, which requires its own permit on top of the free ANPA permit.
Every angler needs the free ANPA recreational permit, available online at permise.anpa.ro. It covers the Danube, its arms, the Black Sea and non-contracted public waters.
Most inland lakes and rivers in Alba are contracted to the county fishing association (AJVPS Alba), which requires its own permit — sold by the day or the year and available from the association's offices and partner shops.
Mountain trout sectors in Alba are managed by RNP-Romsilva: fishing is daylight only, from sunrise to sunset, with the Romsilva fishing tariff instead of the AJVPS permit. Border waters such as the Prut also need a Border Police endorsement.
