Trout conservation campaign starts on Alpine Lake at the end of April

The Alpine Fishing Lake in Vaskerestes has offered a special opportunity to lovers of spinning and fly fishing in recent months, as a total of 424 kg, or about 1,600 rainbow trout, have been stocked into the lake since November 2025. In order to maintain the favorable fishing experience, an additional 160 kg, or about 700–800 trout, will arrive in the water in the coming days, as part of the stocking related to the first rounds of the Trout Area National Championship.

Due to the significant fish stock , anglers are expecting unprecedented good fishing opportunities on the Alpine Lake. At the same time, with the rising water temperature, the lake trout season is gradually coming to an end, so the time has come to provide an opportunity for a controlled reduction of the fish stock, in accordance with the practice of previous years.

Within this framework, our Association is announcing a trout retention campaign on the lake on April 25–26, 2026 (Saturday-Sunday) and May 2–3 (Saturday-Sunday) , between 8:00 and 18:00 .

On designated weekends, every angler has the opportunity to complete their fishing experience by taking home a fresh trout they have caught . The condition for participation - regardless of the existence of any other territorial ticket valid for the water area - is the purchase of a general adult day ticket (5,500 HUF), which allows fishing with a maximum of two rods. Daily tickets can also be purchased on site from the fishing guard, but can also be purchased online at www.horgaszjegy.hu .

During the campaign , it is mandatory to keep the first 8 rainbow trout caught , regardless of size. The average size of the fish is 18–25 dkg, so the catch results can be well planned. Another important rule is that only trout fishing is allowed, all other fish species must be gently returned to the water. The fish caught and kept must be recorded in the catch log.

Based on the current stocking levels and fish activity , there is a very high chance of successful fishing , so this trout fishing can be ideal for both novice and experienced anglers.
