SECTOR I
Lake LIPNO II (boat fishing)
Fishing from drifting boats, drogue is not allowed, the boat will be driven by a boatmen. Lipno II Reservoir is an equalization reservoir below Lipno I reservoir, the water in the reservoir is relatively cold and very clear. Reservoir hosts wild brown trout and coarse fish and it is regularly stocked with rainbow trout, however the reservoir is mainly used as carp water. The last time fly-fishing competitions took place on the reservoir was in 2014 during the World Championship, and the fishing here was very successful. Around 3,000 rainbow trout of various sizes will be stocked before the competition.
SECTOR II
River VLTAVA 29 - Devil's stones
A beautiful piece of water between Lipno reservoir and the equalizing reservoir of Lipno 2. The flow is regulated all year-round and very stable, offering fishing for abundant native brown trout in a deep wooded valley, full of big boulders. Flyfishing here is very exacting, although the boulders are not slippery, it is necessary to ponder every step you take. The river width varies between 5–10 m, depth ranges between 0.50–1.5 m, but they are also pools with depths of 2 m. In the lower part of the river stretch, there is also occasionally dace, grayling, brook trout and rainbow trout, but fish stock is dominated by native brown trout. We recommend to fish with a team of nymphs and carefully search every piece of water as in every pocket could be a trout. Dry fly is also important method. True competitors must show great fitness here, but even less physically fit competitors will find more accessible places to catch fish as individual beats will be 200 m long.
SECTOR III
River VLTAVA 28 - Vyssi Brod
Vltava 28 is one of the best trout waters in the Czech Republic. Strict fishing rules (fly-fishing only, barbless hooks only, minimum size limit 45cm for brown trout) helps to protect the native population of brown trout which in addition is still regularly supported by stocking. The fishery is also stocked with rainbow trout (30-60cm). In slowly flowing parts and pools you can catch also coarse fish like dace, chub, roach, perch and barbell, all fish species are countable. The stable water flow of 8 m3/s will be maintained during the competition. The river flows through a mainly forested valley, it varies with a mixtures of runs and deeper pools, the river bed also varies between sandy gravel to stony reaches, often covered by water macrophytes. The width of the river varies between 20 – 30 m, depth between 0.5 – 1.5 m; banks are covered with tree vegetation. Fish occurrence: brown trout (15 – 50 cm), rainbow trout (30 – 60 cm), dace, chub, roach, perch and barbell, sometimes grayling and brook trout. Sector 3 will be not stocked with rainbow trout before the competition. We recommend all fly-fishing methods to cover all the water and all fish species. The river is very popular with canoeists, we asked the main companies that operate canoeing to make their clients considerate of the competitors Bank fishing and wading is allowed.
SECTOR IV
River VLTAVA 27 - Rozmberk
The river is a little slower under Rožmberk nad Vltavou, and occurrence of coarse fish like dace, roach and chub is higher. This sector will be stocked with rainbow trout (30-60cm) before the championship, fish will be stocked from a raft and every beat will be stocked with the same number of fish. We recommend all fly-fishing methods to cover the water and all fish species. The river is very popular with canoeists, we asked the main companies that operate canoeing to make their clients considerate of the competitors. Bank fishing, wading allowed.
SECTOR V
River OTAVA 5,6,7 - Susice
The Otawa River is a significant river, the flow of which is not affected by any reservoir, this gives it the character of a natural foothill river with sequence of fast rapids and deeper slower sections with a good natural population of grayling and brown trout with complementary cyprinid fish. On the other hand, its discharge is not possible regulate and it is unexpectable. That is why the Volyňka river is prepared as a reserve river, which has a different basin and also in case of rain, high flows will subside more quickly. The center of the competition sector will be prepared in the Otawa 6 Trophy area, which is regularly stocked with rainbow trout, grayling and also tiger trout, which is a cross between the brown trout and the American grayling. According to the number of registered teams, the competition sector will be extended under and up this section and fish stock will be appropriately supported by stocked rainbow trout, so that the individual sections will be as balanced as possible. For success, it is necessary to master both fine methods with nymphs and dry flies, as well as the streamer.
