Filter by species, water type and size. Permit and rules information for every public venue in Mehedinți and across Romania.
Mehedinți county holds the Romanian side of the Iron Gates — the Porțile de Fier reservoir on the Danube, the largest artificial lake in Europe, where the river is impounded through the Carpathian gorge. It is a serious big-fish water for wels catfish, carp, pike-perch, asp and bream. Inland, the Cerna flows out of the Domogled–Valea Cernei National Park below Băile Herculane.
The Iron Gates reservoir and the Danube are fished on the free ANPA recreational permit, with a Border Police endorsement (the far bank is Serbia) and night fishing permitted. The Cerna and other mountain water is RNP-Romsilva salmonid, and lowland tributaries are contracted to AJVPS Mehedinți.
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 Mehedinți are contracted to the county fishing association (AJVPS Mehedinți), 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 Mehedinți 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.
