The Danube Delta is home to vast number of fish, with many, such as the carp and the catfish stretching well over 1 metre and weighing over a mammoth 100kgs! These monsters will provide a challenge for the most experienced fishing enthusiasts and make the Delta arguably one of the best places in Europe to fish. If you’re lucky you may even hook a Beluga Sturgeon which is not only the largest freshwater fish in the Danube system, but are famous for the caviar produced from its roe.

Fish play an important role in Danube rivers, they are more than just a valuable source of nutrition for the human population and their healthy numbers serve as an important indicator of the biological quality of the river. Whether fishing from the banks or from a small local fishing boat you won’t fail to appreciate the beautiful natural wilderness the delta provides, not to mention the other array of wildlife on show. The Delta is a must for those who enjoy to fish in wild, tranquil surroundings with more than a dash of authentic local culture.
