About Carp lake Zabar
Just across the border from Croatia, in Bosnia, you’ll find the beautiful carp lake Jezero Zabar.
Jezero Zabar is truly a fisherman’s paradise, with its vast, shimmering waters and an impressive stock of fish that will make any angler’s mouth water. Created in the 1960s and 1970s for gravel extraction used in roads and home construction, this serene lake spans 26 hectares, with the water itself covering 19 hectares. The lake is a sight to behold, with unique shapes and three charming peninsulas that give it a distinctive character. The shores are lined with lush grass and trees, providing a tranquil and picturesque setting. The banks feature vegetated edges, trees, and overhanging shrubs, creating a perfect backdrop for a relaxing fishing trip or a peaceful getaway in nature.

Carp lake Zabar
On the lake, there are 16 well-maintained fishing spots, each featuring a simple chalet with 2 or 3 beds, a picnic table, Wi-Fi, and an electrical outlet. Each spot allows for four rods to be used, whether you’re fishing alone or with a partner. Personally, I’d recommend two anglers to rent two spots, as a single spot can feel a bit cramped with each angler using two rods. By renting two spots, you can decide if each angler wants their own chalet or if you want to fish together from one shared spot. Chalets 10, 16, 17, 19, and 20 have three beds each.
Near the large lake, there is also a smaller lake with bungalows 8 and 9. This is the nursery pond for the larger lake, home to around 100 fish that are regularly fed. The entire property is fenced, ensuring a safe and secure environment.
Upon arrival, you’ll find a large building housing the reception, a summer terrace with a kitchen, and one of the two sanitary facilities with showers and toilets. The second sanitary building with showers and toilets is located behind spot 10. Additionally, there are a few basic dry toilets scattered around. All fishing spots are accessible by car.
Arrival and Departure Times
Arrival and departure times are from Saturday 11:00 AM to Saturday 9:00 AM.
The Fish Stock
The fish stock at Lake Zabar is exceptional. The lake is home to 1,500 microchipped carp, in addition to the existing fish that have not been tagged. The weights range from 10 kg to over 40 kg (based on stocked fish and average growth), with carp up to 38 kg already caught. Based on catch records, the lake has at least 300 fish over 20 kg and about 30 carp over 30 kg!
The fish are regularly fed during non-fishing periods, with an average annual growth of around 3 kg. According to data, the carp population exceeds 20 tons, with grass carp accounting for 3 to 4 tons in various weight classes.
