Pelagicevo Lake

Thanks to excellent management over the past 15 years, a mouth-watering fish stock has been established. The current lake record is 37.8 kg, but there are already at least 6 fish currently swimming that easily exceed 30 kg. The number of fish between 25 and 30 kg is around 30, while the number of fish over 20 kg exceeds 90. The number of fish in the lake has been deliberately kept lower so that the fish have ample food to continue growing. This is also reflected in the impressive average weight of 19 kg. Nevertheless, the water contains 450 carp, of which 30% are common carp and 70% are mirror carp. This has been clearly visible over the past years, and even now, the fish continue to show excellent growth. Who knows what the future record will be.

Accommodation/Facilities
The clubhouse has all the facilities you need, such as water (not drinking water), showers, and toilets.

A landing net, unhooking mat, and weigh sling are provided at each swim. A €50 deposit is required per set. You are not allowed to use your own landing net, etc.
It is possible to reach each swim by car or even a small camper, and these may also be parked at the swim.

Arrival and Departure Times
Arrival Time: 12:00 PM
Departure Time: 11:00 AM

The Fishing Swims
The lake itself has 9 double swims and 1 single swim, but because we have exclusive weeks, we only fill 6 double swims. This gives each angler significantly more fishing water at their disposal. For this reason, anglers are allowed to fish with 4 rods each, instead of the normally permitted 3 rods. Each swim is spacious and tidy. You can easily reach them by car or (small) camper, and you can leave your car at the swim for the entire week. Bait boats are allowed, but you are required to keep the lights on your bait boat on at night. Zig rig fishing is prohibited. As Bosnia is outside the EU, phone and internet costs can be quite high. Please keep this in mind! Partly for this reason, Wi-Fi is available around the entire lake so you can still upload your catches or stay in touch with home.

Available at each swim:
At Pelagicevo, they take biosecurity very seriously and provide you with all the angling equipment needed to land, weigh, and care for the carp you catch. This includes a landing net, unhooking mat, and weigh sling/retainer.
Please ensure you do not bring your own equipment. For these items, we require a €50 deposit. This will be returned to you at the end of the week if the kit is returned undamaged.

The Fish Stock
The common carp lake record is 37.8 kg, and the mirror carp lake record is 34.2 kg!
“We are absolutely certain that the lake has great potential. Young carp are showing excellent, incredible growth. Currently, there are no carp under 10 kg in the lake, and we intend to keep it that way. There are currently 450 carp in the lake, with an average weight of 19 kg. By adding another 150 carp to the lake in autumn, we aim to slightly increase the fish biomass. All carp introduced to the lake from this point onwards are carefully selected to ensure the best genetic growth potential. The lake is currently known for offering a good challenge to every angler, and we want to maintain it at this level. We strive for quality over quantity (not too many carp, but large ones). We can ensure that the lake will be a pleasure and, at the same time, offer a great challenge.”
Other fish species in the lake: grass carp, catfish, pike, zander, bream, roach
