Just a few days ago, 110 tons of fish arrived in the Vasi Vizek, but the stocking continued this week. On the occasion of World Water Day and Fish Day, another significant amount of native fish arrived in our waters, so anglers are looking forward to an exciting time.

Nearly 40 tons of carp and river fish also arrived

The series of stocking operations continued on March 16, when 250 kg of carp were placed in the Mersevát section of the Marcal River, and 150 kg of carp in the section around the Kis-Rába nicki dam.

On March 18, we celebrated World Water Day together with the West Transdanubian Water Directorate on the shores of the Szombathely Boating Lake, where, continuing the traditions of previous years, we hosted organized school groups for playful, educational programs so that young people could get to know the wildlife of our waters better. One of the most spectacular elements of the program was the fish stocking. On this day, 500 kg of carp were placed in the morning in the Újperinti Gravel Mine No. I, 500 kg in the Szombathely Boating Lake, 300 kg in the Szombathely Fishing Lake and 200 kg in the Gencsapati Fishing Lake. The visiting children were also able to participate in the stocking of the Szombathely Boating Lake and the Szombathely Fishing Lake , and anyone who happened to be there could also be a part of the spectacular fish stocking.

On Friday, March 20, on Fish Day, Halászmester KFT. again transported a total of 500 kg of carp, mostly with scales, to the Vaskeresztes, Horvátlövő and Szentpéterfa sections of the Pinka stream, as well as to the Pinka backwater in Vaskeresztes.

In accordance with the traditions of previous years, we did not forget about strengthening the river fish population: with the cooperation of the Baja Megafish Kft., we installed rheophilic fish on several sections of the Rába River. The program ended with a spectacular event at the Nicki Dam, where visiting children and their companions - together with the Vas County and Győr-Moson-Sopron County Fishing Associations - could help in the placement of the fish. 120 kg of II. summer bream and 1500 juvenile mullet and 1000 juvenile chub were placed on the Rába section of Vas County, so the visiting children could also get acquainted with real native river fish.

The spring stocking program reaches another significant milestone on March 30, when 1,500 kg of market carp will be placed in three popular fishing waters: 500 kg in Lake Csónakázó in Szombathely, 500 kg in Lake Kavicsbánya in Magyarszecsőd, and 500 kg in Lake Hársas in Máriaújfalu. The quantities stocked may of course vary depending on the results of the catches and the capacity of the transport vehicles, and we will report on the stocking operations in detail.

Our association works together with the associations to ensure that every angler on Vasi Vizes has a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Regular fish stocking, continuous developments and community programs all serve the goal of making our waters rich in fish and full of experiences.

Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the fishing season, so it is worth buying your fishing tickets in time and taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the freshly planted waters.

Exchange your regional ticket for Vasi Vizes and experience the spring fishing experience! We hope that many people will choose Vasi Vizes in 2026 as well, where closeness to nature and the joy of fishing go hand in hand.
