Directions
Seasons & zones
- Sea trout 1 January → 30 September
Polish PZW rules list sea trout/troć closed in remaining rivers from 1 October to 31 December. Local river and district rules may add method/day restrictions, so this should be a default pending river-specific PZW checks.
- Trout 1 April → 30 September
- Grayling 1 June → 28 February
Polish PZW national rule: grayling (lipień) protected 1 March – 31 May. Open window 1 June – 28 February. PZW district and water-specific rules may add tighter restrictions. Carpathian rivers (San, Dunajec, Biała, Skawa, Raba) hold excellent grayling — check local Okręg PZW district permit for specific conditions.
Closed in spring for spawning.
Prime sport 1 September → 30 November
- Pike 1 May → 31 December
National pike protection period is 1 January–30 April; confirmed directly against the PZW Okręg Szczecin 2026 rules with no Drawa-specific exception.
