About this water

Two small western-border streams with active trout management by Vas County. Both stocked with native brown trout. Managed trout waters rather than wild systems—legitimate local fishing but stocking dependency should be understood. Small-stream character. Pinka flows south along Austrian border; Répce runs north-west. Cooler months and spring/early summer best. Local association area ticket + state licence required.
