gavel Specifics of the fishery rules

The Dahme runs through two federal states. In the Berlin section (Köpenick to Schmöckwitz bridge) the Berlin state fishery regulation applies: night fishing is only permitted with explicit approval from the responsible angling association – a special night-fishing permit from Köpenicker Fischervereinigung e.V. is mandatory. In the Brandenburg section (south of the city border, including Lake Zeuthen) the Brandenburg fishery regulation applies: night fishing is generally permitted unless the club has imposed a restriction. Motorboat traffic on Lake Zeuthen is limited to permitted speeds; on the Dahme itself the use of combustion engines may be restricted by the responsible angling federation. Pike closed season in both states: 1 February – 30 April.
