About this water
Water quality (WFD)
- Ecology: Good
- Chemical: Failing to achieve good
What this classification means
WFD re-coded 2026-06-18: prior id PLRW20002156789 was a fabricated stub (no such code in EEA WISE). Re-mapped to PLRW200011292999 'Brda od Zb Smukala do Ujscia' — the lower reach through Bydgoszcz near the venue coordinate (53.1276, 18.1338). Status: EEA WISE 2022 (3rd RBMP). Confidence: medium — VERIFY: if the intended fishery is the upper no-kill fly reach in Bory Tucholskie (Koronowo/Świt), re-map upstream (e.g. PLRW2000112929739).

Seasons & zones

- 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.
