Fischerot: Harvest failure by cormorants threatens Reibitzer autumn festival!

Fischerot: Harvest failure by cormorants threatens Reibitzer autumn festival!

Reibitz, Deutschland - in Reibitz, a small community, the preparations for the upcoming fishing at the damage pond are in full swing. Marcel Reinhardt, the owner of the fishing there, enthusiastically reports that large carps and kiloschworthy catfish are currently swimming in the Pen basin. "We are ready for the event on October 26 and 27," emphasizes Reinhardt. The previous harvest in the Badrina-Teich was without great incidents, but things could look different at the Schadenbach on the last weekend in October.

An important aspect that Reinhardt wants to address is the influence of the weather on fish population. The frost, which made many fruit growers in this spring, is more advantageous for fishing. "We need a strict frost over several weeks," he explains. These cold temperatures help fish regulate their metabolism, which is crucial for your health. If this frost is missing, the metabolism is high, and this is anything but good for the fish.

challenges from nature and animals

However, the fishing industry also brings challenges. Cormorants and otter in particular can be a significant threat. "These animals can give us up to 20 percent crop loss," warns Reinhardt. Every year the harvest is a gambling, although Reinhardt can only take a comprehensive balance if all ponds are fished. Compared to the calm harvest in Badrina, you will see a lot more operation at the large autumn fishing at the damage pond. There the fishermen carry out their work, while numerous visitors look curious about what is happening.

The event attracts thousands of people every year. With this big hustle and bustle, visitors have the opportunity to acquire fresh fish on the craftsman and farmers' market and to discover regional products. Already in the early morning hours you can look over the shoulder of the fishermen at work and buy the fresh catch. This is a unique opportunity that many people do not want to miss.

Various offer for visitors

The event not only offers visitors the opportunity to buy fresh fish, but also a variety of fish specialties. Homemade Wildburger, fish soup and flame salmon attract guests. Smoked fish and various marinades are also on the menu. In the waters of the pond, clever and impressive catfish swim in addition to carp that are just waiting to be trapped.

Reinhardt and his team are already looking forward to the numerous visitors and hope for nice weather on the two days. The journey is also made: there are sufficient parking facilities on the surrounding arable land so that everyone can easily get to the event. This ensures that both fishermen and visitors can enjoy an unforgettable experience when the damage pond becomes the scene of the fishing.
