Květoňov lake is a small trout reservoir near the town of Kaplice with an area of 6.5 ha. It was one of the first trout lakes in the Czech Republic and it is annually stocked with about 3 tonnes of rainbow trout . The depth of the lake close to the bank varies between 0.5 and 8 m. The banks are covered with natural vegetation, but without trees. Lake will be stocked by approximately 2500 pieces of rainbow trout (30-60 cm) before the competition. Other fish species include pike, carp, perch and roach, occasional brown trout, brook trout and white fish.
We have annually organised several competitions on the lake, since the year 2015 we have also successfully utilised fishing from the anchored boats during all competitions including European Championship 2018. Boats will be fixed to pre-prepared buoys. During boat session will be also rotation by 3 buoys. According your experiences, the boat fishing spreads fishing pressure to whole area of the lake and consequently improves also fishing from bank.
Masters will fish from bank, we have three fishable banks in the main body of the lake and we have registered 15 teams, therefore there will marked 5 pegs in every bank, sessions will be divided to the three parts and every competitor will fish from all banks.
Ladies will fish from the anchored boats, we have 9 teams, so we will prepare 5 boats and in one boat we will use dummy fisherman.
