Filter by species, water type and size. Permit and rules information for every public venue in Vâlcea and across Romania.
Vâlcea county in northern Oltenia has more fishable water than almost any other — the Olt runs the length of the county through a staircase of reservoirs (Strejești, Govora, Râmnicu Vâlcea, Zăvideni), while high in the Parâng and Latoriței mountains the Vidra reservoir on the Lotru sits above 1,200 m. The Lotru, Latorița and Cerna headwaters are prime trout water.
The Lotru, Latorița and other mountain rivers, and the high Vidra and Balindru reservoirs, are RNP-Romsilva salmonid water — daylight fishing only, huchen and grayling released. The Olt reservoir chain and lowland rivers are contracted to AJVPS Vâlcea, whose permit is needed with the free ANPA recreational 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 Vâlcea are contracted to the county fishing association (AJVPS Vâlcea), 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 Vâlcea 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.
