Fishing on the Dam of Zetea!

Fishing on the Dam of Zetea!

Fishing is permitted in the lake every day of the year! (Note: In the mountain torrents, there will be an opportunity for fishing on Saturday and on Sunday.)

Fish species that can occur in the Dam: bullhead, trout, grayling, pike, bass, carp, Prussian carp, and bleak.

The Dam of Zetea is not a fishing-pond in the strict sense of the word. Here the fish eat and multiply under natural circumstances. Primarily the twirling and the fly-fishing techniques are the effective ones. Of course the fisherman’s luck is also needed for efficiency.

A trout, weighing 5-6 kilograms, was also caught in the lake. (This is not a fisherman’s tale!)

The daily tickets and the annual lettings can be purchased in Sub Cetate, in the “Sarki ABC” shop – the shop around the corner (every day from 8 a.m until 8 p.m, on Sunday from 11 a.m until 2 p.m)

Daily tickets cost: 10 Euro
Annual lettings cost: 80 Euro
