Fishing in Hungary.

Hungary is one of the leading coarse fishing destinations in Europe. The quality of the fishing and quantity of the fish caught is exceptional. In fact the World Fishing Championships were held in Hungary during 2007.

Just like the UK, fishing in Hungary is a very popular pastime with over 3% of the population participating. Hungary has warm clean waters which result in big catches, with fish such as Carp, Cat fish, Zander (Pike/Perch),Bream and Pike being caught.
The Hungarian Carp record stands at 68lb and the fish can be seen on video

Fly fishing is less popular than in the UK but several stretches of river can be found in the north of Hungary.
There are numerous tackle shops in the vicinity and as well as an assortment of baits, tackle and licences can be bought ( just like the UK there are national and local water permits which can be bought from the fishing shops ).
Fishing in Lake Balaton, Central Europe’s largest freshwater lake at over 40 times the size of Lake Windermere, can be enjoyed from the shore, jetty, lake platform or small boat. The lake has an average depth of 3.2 metres which means the summer water temperature rises to over 28 deg C on a par with the Caribbean. The warm waters create an environment where the fish spawn and feed regularly.

Another popular destination is Lake Velence situated half way between Budapest and Lake Balaton. In 2007 this was the destination of the World Course Fishing Championships which was won by Italy –

By far the most popular place to fish is on the many thousand smaller lakes situated around the country. Some of the lakes have small wooden chalets on the waters’ edge which can be purchased for less than £1000. The chalets have a small bed and cooking facilities with services connected and come complete with fishing rights for the stretch of water immediately in front of the chalet . One could argue this is several stars higher in standard of accommodation than what the UK fisherman is used to and certainly beats the conventional Bivvy.

We offer all inclusive coarse fishing trips for groups of British anglers keen on exploring a variety of lakes to the west of Budapest noted for top class fishing. Our prices include airport transfers, first class accommodation and food.

We provide an English speaking guide and transport to and from the different lakes.
Coarse fishing trips are available between 1st April and 31st October and each group must comprise a minimum of 6 people. The dedicated accommodation comprises two modern hunting style lodges set amongst a forest area and has a capacity of 40 fishermen made up of mainly twin rooms with en suite bathroom, Satellite TV and phone. Home cooked food is served in the dining room

The fishing trips can be customised according to the needs of our clients and will be quoted on a case by case basis depending upon the number of nights, the number in the group and any additional activities such as sight-seeing trips. For example clients may wish to spend an evening relaxing at one of the many bars in the bustling holiday resort of Siofok situated just 30 minutes away on the shores of Lake Balaton or perhaps spend a final night in Budapest on the way home.
There are numerous tackle shops in the vicinity and as well as an assortment of baits licences ( national and local water ) can be bought.

All the low cost airlines flying to Budapest allow fishing tackle to be carried for a small additional charge.
