Fisherman in a green boat with fyke nets

Fishing

Fishing in Jurilovca: you can fish from the shore or from a boat, in waters typical of the lagoon and the Delta.

Where to fish

From the fishing spots along the shore in Jurilovca and around the harbour, or from a boat, on the quiet channels or on Lake Razelm.

What you can catch

Zander, perch, catfish, pike, carp and crucian carp.

The papers you need for fishing

  • your identity card
  • the recreational/sport fishing permit issued by the ARBDD (in your name, free, valid until 31 December)
  • the tourist access permit for the Reserve
  • the access permit for your boat or vehicle, if applicable

Important

  • The standard permit issued by ANPA for the rest of Romania’s waters is not valid in the Danube Delta. You must have the permit issued by the ARBDD (the Administration of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve).

Out on the water

For a good day’s fishing from a boat, on the lake or the channels, you can contact local boatmen Vali (0724 178 299) and Adi (0723 310 692), who know the best fishing spots really well.
