Photographing the fish

We ask every guest to please call us at any time of the day when catching a fish weighing more than 14-15 kilograms, so we can check the fish’s well-being, do the microchipping of the fish, and take a photo for ourselves as well. We thank you in advance for your cooperation! Until the arrival of the huer, each fish must be kept in the water in a sling. The keeping of fish under any other circumstance is prohibited.

 
Gentle Treatment

Please photograph the fish with great care and consideration! Taking photographs with the fish while standing up is prohibited! Please keep your carp cradles wet at all times and make sure to “water” the fish constantly especially on hot summer days! While taking photographs, please make sure you do not accidentally touch the fish’s gills as that will almost certainly cause the fish to die. Causing a fish’s death will result in the immediate revoking of your member’s card as well as a fine of min. 60.000.- HUF - 3.000.000.- HUF depending on the fish’s size.

 
Fish injuries, disinfection, cradle

We respectfully ask all of our guests to mind these wonderful animals. We ask everyone to avoid accidentally touching or fingering the gills or causing any other injuries that might result in the death of a fish. If you feel like you need any help with keeping a fish safe and sound or letting it back into the water, please don’t hesitate to let a huer know. Our huer’s are there to help!

We ask our anglers to tire the fish out gently to avoid any serious injuries. If we notice any winching, we will immediately ban you from the lake! We thank you for your increased consideration!

Hook caused wounds must ALWAYS be disinfected before letting the fish back into the water!
