Catch & Release

Catch & release waters in Europe

Catch & release stands for gentle treatment of fish stocks: every fish caught is carefully returned to the water after the fight, so that waters stay rich in species and in ecological balance in the long term. On FindLake you will find fishing waters across Europe that consistently follow this principle – from small club waters to larger carp lakes. Suitable gear for fish-friendly handling (unhooking mats, retention slings, barbless hooks) is available from the listed fishing stores and fishing brands & manufacturers. If you want to stay for several days, you will find suitable Fishing Trips right by the water.
