Argeș county runs from the highest wall of the Făgăraș mountains down to the Wallachian plain. Its centrepiece is Lacul Vidraru, the dramatic dam on the Argeș river beneath the Transfăgărășan road, holding trout, pike and pike-perch in deep, cold water. Below it the Râușor and Bascov reservoirs and the Râul Târgului, Vâlsan and Doamnei rivers give a full range from mountain trout to lowland coarse fishing.
The upper Argeș, Vâlsan, Doamnei and Râul Târgului are salmonid waters administered by RNP-Romsilva — daylight fishing only. The reservoirs and lowland rivers are contracted to AJVPS Argeș, whose permit is required alongside the free ANPA permit. The Vâlsan is one of the last refuges of the asprete (Romanichthys valsanicola), a strictly protected fish that must be released instantly.
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 Argeș are contracted to the county fishing association (AJVPS Argeș), 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 Argeș 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.
Always confirm current night-fishing, boat and camping rules for the specific water — PiscaMaps shows what is confirmed for each venue.
