What You Should Ask Before Your Day of Fishing
To ensure reliable planning, we recommend clarifying these points directly with the appropriate department:
- What are the fishing hours for your desired date?
- What other documents do you need in addition to the waterway map?
- What fishing methods and baits are allowed?
- What catch limits and harvest regulations apply?
- What types of fish are currently available?
- Are there any special guidelines for children or accompanying adults?
Please refer to the latest information from the manager for the complete terms and conditions. A day pass alone does not answer all questions regarding permitted use of the body of water.
Respect for nature and other guests
The municipality explicitly prohibits the following activities while fishing: scaling fish, lighting fires, barbecuing, and camping overnight. All trash must be taken home.
So be sure to pack a trash bag and check your spot before you leave. Even small pieces of fishing line, hook packaging, and bait containers should be packed back into your gear.
When choosing a spot, be mindful of others along the water. Keep a sufficient distance and keep paths clear. Being considerate helps ensure that anglers, walkers, and other visitors can all enjoy their time here equally.
An outing for accompanying adults, too
Not everyone in the family wants to spend the whole day fishing. That's why it's helpful to plan a group itinerary in advance.
At Schlesingerteich, there is a circular hiking trail about one kilometer long with informational signs and fitness stations. In the summer, the pond is also used for swimming. The municipality provides a sunbathing area, a restroom, and a beach volleyball court; the kiosk is open during swimming hours. The village is also home to the Wood Chipper Museum.
Depending on the weather and opening hours, accompanying guests can go for a walk or plan a visit to Bärnkopf. Agree on a meeting place and take some time to rest together.
If you're bringing children along, make sure the length of your stay and your choice of location are appropriate for their age. A manageable outing with breaks for activity is often more enjoyable than a very long day of fishing. Children need constant, attentive supervision when they're by the water.

Practical Preparations for Your Fishing Trip
Equipment and Weather Protection
Check your fishing gear before you leave and make sure everything complies with the current water regulations. Be sure to pack weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and plenty of drinks.
Even on a nice day, an extra jacket can be nice if you're sitting quietly by the water for a long time. A place to sit and a small snack will make your time there more comfortable.
Directions and Access to the Shore
Use an up-to-date navigation system to get there, and find out about permitted parking options. Also, check how you can transport your gear from your vehicle to the designated fishing spot.
For guests who use a wheelchair, walker, or have limited mobility, specific details about the ground surface, slopes, and paths are particularly important. The fact that the pond is accessible via a road does not necessarily mean that individual fishing spots are accessible. Therefore, be sure to ask specifically for a spot that meets your personal needs.
Vacation with Your Dog
If you'd like to bring your dog fishing, check the rules at the body of water beforehand. Be sure to bring drinking water, find a suitable resting spot, and keep a safe distance from hooks, bait, and outstretched lines.
Our Recommendation from Anna and Herbert
