Filter by species, water type and size. Permit and rules information for every public venue in Ilfov and across Romania.
Ilfov county forms the ring around Bucharest and contains the capital's reservoir lakes on the Colentina and the Snagov–Cernica chain. Lacul Snagov, a long forested lake north of the city famous for the island monastery said to hold Vlad the Impaler's grave, is the premier venue — big pike, carp, bream and pike-perch — alongside Cernica, Pantelimon and Mănăstirii.
These lakes are managed for recreational fishing by AJVPS Ilfov; several are club or day-ticket waters and the northern Snagov section is a protected area with its own rules. You need the free ANPA recreational permit plus the association permit. Confirm night-fishing and boat rules for the specific lake.
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 Ilfov are contracted to the county fishing association (AJVPS Ilfov), 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 Ilfov 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.
