Maybe the whole north of Poland is to fishers a land of wealth, however you can isolate specific corners especially kind to fishing enthusiasts. A pomorskie eldorado is in this sense Pojezierze Kaszubskie [Kashubian Lake District]. It is worth to mention the offer of special fishery Zalew Mikorowski [Mikorowski Lagoon].
It’s not a coincidence that one of the foundations of local traditional regional cuisine are fresh fish cooked in various ways. Kashubian reservoirs are unusually diverse in terms of size and character – we have here subglacial lakes, ponds and watercourses. It translates to a rich and diverse ichthyofauna, which consists of, among others, roaches, perches, tenches, pikes, zanders, breams and eels – a total of 30 fish species, including many rare and protected ones. Among the most valued ones, we should mention endemic variation of bulltrout, called wdzydzki bulltrout, which lives in lake Wdzydze and rivers Wda and Trzebiocha.

Wdzydze, along with the lakes Radolne, Jelenie and Gołuń create a so called Krzyż Jezior Wdzydzkich [Wdzydze Lakes Cross], also called a „Kashubian Sea.” The total area of the complex is almost 1,5 thousand hectares. In kościerski county, we will find more fisheries that guarantee the presence of many fish species and perfect conditions for fishing.

Fishery Niedamowo
Niedamowo Fishery is located around 16 kilometres from Kościerzyna, by the lake Grubel. The area of the reservoir is almost 8 hectares, and its mean depth is 6 metres. Almost 20 percent of the lake constitutes a shallowing bay with a depth of not more than 2 metres, which constitutes a safe shelter for fish like for example carp, bream, tench, grass carp and roach. If you’re is lucky, you can also find a silvercarp and big specimen of eel, in turn, among the predators, pike and perch dominate. The fishery is available also during the winter, if the thickness of ice allows for safe fishing. Except for the perfect conditions for fishing, Niedamowo also offers night stay in wooden houses.

Fishery Karasiowo
10 kilometres from Kościerzyna, next to the E20 route in the direction of Gdańsk, there is a Karasiowo fishery [Crucian carp fishery], which offers two ponds to fishers – one of the area of 2 hectares with nine isles and a little pond with fry, which functions as a fishing school for children. The depth of the bigger pond hovers from 2 to 4,5 metres, and the water has a beautiful dark brown colour, and that’s why the bottom vegetation is not numerous here. The most numerous species of fish are – in compliance with the fishery’s name – goldfish and Prussian carp, as well as tench, roach, perch, pike and carp. A well prepared shoreline allows for casual fishing from the shore, it also is a great solution for disabled people. Fishing from a boat is also possible. During the winter, when the thickness of ice on the pond is safe enough, for fishers await beautiful coloured perches and roaches.
