Backed by regional invertebrate surveys; no sampling on this exact reach yet.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
The most distinct national style here: Czech nymphing first, with short-line teams of 2 or 3 weighted nymphs central to trout and grayling fishing in fast rivers.
Public-facing fly-fishing guidance highlights chub, barbel and grayling, especially through summer, with noted productive water below Beroun and around the weir at Hýskov on Berounka 3 (411 001). Salmonids do appear in the rules and fly fishing is allowed throughout, but this is a river where coarse-fish and grayling opportunities matter at least as much as trout — best approached with that mixed-bag mindset rather than expecting a dedicated trout water.
Czech national rule: grayling (lipan podhorní) protected 1 December – 15 June. Open window is 16 June – 30 November. Czech Anglers Union (ČRS) salmonid fisheries also have method and access rules — check the local ČRS district permit for specific conditions.
Closed in spring for spawning.
Prime sport 1 September → 30 November
Protected 16 March–15 June under the same national order as chub (vyhláška 197/2004 Sb., §13). An unverified secondary-source note suggested the Berounka may protect barbel year-round locally — not confirmed against the primary ČRS revír document, so not applied here.
No national closed season for carp in Czech law — governed instead by a mandatory-release minimum size (≥70cm), not a season.
Protected 16 March–15 June under the Czech national fish-protection order (vyhláška 197/2004 Sb., §13, non-trout waters). Carp on the same river has no national closed season — see the separate carp entry; do not apply this window to carp.
The Berounka is a broad Bohemian river with a strong coarse-fish angle rather than a classic trout-and-grayling beat.
