The Edersee is a special body of water - with 11,8 km² of water surface, it is the second largest reservoir in Germany. The Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park has been the tenant of the fishing rights on the Edersee since 2003. Due to its location in the national park and sustainable management, it not only shines with its beauty, but also offers anglers excellent water quality and a diverse fish population.

Since the reservoir serves to provide water for the Oberweser and the Mittelland Canal, water levels fluctuate greatly. But even if the lake appears "empty" - the fish population remains the same.

The main target fish in the Edersee are pike, zander, perch, roach, bream and sea bass. Since we are on one at the Edersee sustainable fisheries management no fish stocking will be carried out.

Spin fishing, bottom fishing, trolling and vertical fishing are suitable for predator fishing. Float fishing and feeder fishing are suitable for catching fresh fish. Fishing is possible both from the shore and from a boat.

Fishing is possible with a permit from the bridge near Herzhausen (Alte Bundesstraße) to the barrier wall.

The Affolderner See lies in the Edertal between Hemfurth and Affoldern. The Affolderner See is also a reservoir that serves as a sub-basin for the Waldeck pumped storage power plant and as a flood retention and compensation basin, so that fluctuations in the water level can also occur here. There is also Lake Affoldern Nature conservation and Natura 2000 area. This makes Lake Affoldern a particularly idyllic and quiet fishing spot.

Brown and rainbow trout can be found in Lake Affoldern. We stock the lake with high-quality, healthy trout several times a year to ensure a balanced population. The fishing season begins with the first stocking on April 1st and ends on October 14th.

Spin fishing with artificial bait and trolling from a boat are suitable for fishing. The course of the river is particularly suitable for fly fishing.
