Fishing and Hunting

Sport Fishing

Experience top-tier sport fishing at one of the largest fishing areas in Croatia – Lake Šandor (70 ha) and Lake Petar (30 ha), covering a total of 100 hectares. Nestled in unspoiled nature, these lakes offer the perfect setting for anglers of all experience levels. Nearby, a restaurant and guesthouse provide the ideal place to relax and enjoy local specialties after a day of fishing.

The “CATCH AND RELEASE” rule applies to carp, while anglers are allowed to keep one grass carp (amur) per day, up to 10 kg. Fishing for other species (such as pike-perch, catfish, silver bream, bullhead, etc.) is not restricted, except as regulated by current fishing measures and closed seasons.

Fishing Rules for Šandor and Petar Retention Lakes:

  • Fishing is permitted from the shore only.

  • Anglers may use three rods, each with a single hook.

  • Fishing permits (daily, 3-day, 7-day) must be purchased at the restaurant. Access to the water without a valid permit is prohibited.

  • The “catch and release” rule applies exclusively to carp.

  • It is permitted to keep one grass carp per day, up to 10 kg.

  • There are no restrictions on catching and keeping other fish species, except for the following:

    • Pike-perch: Minimum length 40 cm, closed season from March 1 to May 31.

    • Catfish: Minimum length 60 cm.

  • All trash must be disposed of in bins or taken with you.

These rules are designed to preserve natural balance, fish populations, and a high-quality experience for all visitors.

Enjoy a perfect fishing day in the heart of nature. Tight lines!

Hunting

Spread across an impressive 1,196 hectares of fishpond terrain lies a modern breeding ground and hunting area for wild ducks and coots – one of the most attractive destinations for hunting tourism in Croatia. This lowland hunting ground, located at an elevation of 98 to 104 meters, is rich in water throughout the year, providing ideal conditions for diverse wildlife and plant species.

Lush vegetation—including reeds, cattails, sedges, ferns, water lilies, and floating nuts—provides a natural habitat for various bird and game species. The population of game is carefully managed in line with fish farming activities, ensuring an optimal balance and the preservation of the natural ecosystem.

In addition to being ideal for hunting, this breeding ground also serves as a resting stop for many migratory birds that pass over the fishponds throughout the year.

The infrastructure for hunters is highly developed:

  • 20 boats available to transport hunters to blinds

  • 8 movable hunting blinds that can be relocated as needed

  • 15 kilometers of maintained embankments with a narrow-gauge railway

  • Accommodation, restaurant, and additional facilities for rest and recreation

Thanks to the mild continental climate, hunting conditions are favorable for most of the year, making this destination a top choice for hunters and nature enthusiasts alike.

Good hunting!
