The Orlik Reservoir is one of the best fishing waters in the Czech Republic, it is very well stocked and the variety of species makes it possible to use many different techniques. The Reservoir is best known due to catches of Catfish and Carp and other predatory species. In 2002, 117,182 fish were registered as caught and their total weight was 213,124kg: Carp: 62,532, Catfish: 731, Zander: 5,954 and Pike: 1,908.
The banks of the Reservoir are approx. 300km in length and characterised by steep forested slopes with rock outcrops and small beaches which make ideal spots from which to cast. The Reservoir is 2,732ha in total and runs 68km along the Vltava river, 7km along the Luznice river and 22km along the Otava river. Of this area there is 2,300ha available to anglers.
Due to the size of this water the use of boats is recommended. Fishing is permitted in the Reservoir all year round but predatory species are protected from 1st January to 15th June.
