Pink drop by drop

The Pinka stream is the most significant tributary of the Rába. Due to its excellent water quality and constant water level, it has a reputation for predictably good trout and perch water. It originates close to the Hungarian-Austrian border and, maintaining this characteristic throughout, winds between the two countries. Its largest tributary is the Strém Stream, which is approximately 55 km long. Several mills and dams were built on its swift waters.

Upper striker section:

He arrives at the Pinka Felsőcsátár, then returns to Austria several times after a longer or shorter stay at home. It passes a little further down at Szentpeterfa, but then crosses the border again. Then comes the Pinkamindszent, again with its full extent here, but it will soon become a border river again in the Vasalja region, so that it can permanently become Hungarian water not far south of Magyarnádal and reach the Rába at Körmend. The Pinka vasi section is 5.2 ha, which winds from Felsőcsatár to Körmend in the county.

The number of fish species found in the stream is 28, of which the typical fish species are: trout, mullet, bream, chub, carp, and bream. The section of Pinka in Vaskereszetes, around Malom Island, offers the most diverse locations, almost within arm's reach of each other. The left bank of the part above the island has already been reforested, thanks to which it is considered a first-class dammed section for fishing, and you can fish well.

Vaskeresztes surrató:

The Pinka, which can also be fished in the right branch, shows its shallower, wild face below the weir, the mill canal starting to the left also spreads out, widens, and continues to run shallower below the waterfall. An exciting and important surranto was built at the junction of the two branches, which swells, holds and has a beneficial effect on the water level. Behind the church, a real fordable artificial fly section awaits anglers. Leaving Vaskeresztes, the Pinka stream continues its journey towards Horvátlövő as a boundary water. When you reach the friendly village, a sign indicates the accessibility of the stream, according to the direction of flow, the left bank still belongs to Hungary, while the right bank already belongs to Austria.

Front shooter section:

Nothing proves the role of the border water better than the fact that the stream was channeled into a bed with a special technique - lined with giant rocks, the average depth of which is 2 meters. Until the early 1990s, the area was a specially protected area, like the entire section of Pinka. The most important features of the trout culture section in Hrvatlövő are the following: easy access, safe placement of vehicles in the visible vicinity, uniform river bed formation, beautiful natural values and, last but not least, many nice catchable trout, bream, and chub.

Porn abbot damming:

In the area of Pinka Felsőcsatár and Vaskeresztes, it shows its wild water face, while the section that touches Horvátlövő and Pornóapáti is a slower-flowing dammed section.
