If you fish from the banks of Resort de Arendshorst, you are obliged to observe the above rules. As an angler you need to have the legally required fishing permits to be able to fish in the Vecht. Our fishing card alone does not exempt you from this. In case of disputes, the management of Resort de Arendshorst will decide.
Carps in the Vecht
Beautiful carp swim in the fight, varying in type and weight. Also in the fighting, as on many other waters in the Netherlands, carp are now swimming well over the 30-pound border. Carping on the Vecht is not easy. It is about fishing on the river with changing conditions and that often requires good technique and a lot of patience.
The Fish Population
The Overijsselse Vecht has a huge variety of fish stocks. You can catch almost all Dutch freshwater fish species at Resort de Arendshorst. Common fish on the Vecht are; Bream, Convolvulus, Roach, Perch and Carp. The Overijsselse Vecht is popular with whitefishers and fly fishermen because of the sometimes extremely good catches and for example the beautiful windes that can be caught there (especially in the spring). Also excellent bream catches (100 kg and more) are among the possibilities. Furthermore, Eels, Zander and more and more Roofblei are caught in the Vecht.
