Permits & access
Permit required — see local rules.
  • Polish fishing card plus local permit required
  • As a Baltic-draining river, local migratory-fish rules and beat access matter more than generic inland assumptions.
What's coming
Plan ahead
5-day outlook
Water here around 21°C. Nothing cooler within range — carry a thermometer.

Seasons & zones
  • Trout 1 April → 30 September
  • Grayling 1 June → 28 February

    Polish PZW national rule: grayling (lipień) protected 1 March – 31 May. Open window 1 June – 28 February. PZW district and water-specific rules may add tighter restrictions. Carpathian rivers (San, Dunajec, Biała, Skawa, Raba) hold excellent grayling — check local Okręg PZW district permit for specific conditions.

    Closed in spring for spawning.

    Prime sport 1 September → 30 November

  • Pike 1 May → 31 December

    National pike protection period is 1 January–30 April. No district-specific override was found for this river in the available PZW Słupsk documents, but a river-name-specific line item wasn't directly confirmed either — treating the national baseline as the working default.
