LAKE POHAN

Paradise for catfishermen

Lake Katlov is located in the Central Bohemian Region, roughly 14 km from Kutná Hora, in the vicinity of Červené Janovice. It lies in an altitude of 445 m a.s.l. and it covers a surface area of 4 hectares.

Its average depth is 2.5 meters, but the bottom of the lake varies in repth at the dam end it is about 4.5 meters, and it gradually decreases towards the island and then transitions into shallow waters. There are three fishing swims at the lake - these are far enough apart for a generous amount of water per swim, and they are separated by the island, so all anglers can enjoy their peace and quiet when fishing. Come see the lake for yourselves, and make your fishing dreams reality.

Swim #03

This swim is formed by a natural swim and it is located in the Southern part of the catfish lake. In the right part of the spot, there is a small bend that is very popular with the catfish, so it is definitely a great idea to put one fishing rod assembly with a buoy here.
