ABSTRACT

A comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of lakes for angling was carried out on 23 lakes, covering a total area of 616.5 ha, all situated in the communes of Liniewo and Nowa Karczma. The method of synthetic measures was applied in the study. Ten characteristics were analysed, all of which determined the natural conditions of the lakes for angling and the state of angling management of the natural water bodies. The highest angling attractiveness index was scored by Gackie Lake in Liniewo commune and Lubańskie Lake in Nowa Karczma commune. The state of the hydrotechnical facilities in the ecosystems of the lakes implies a very low level of man-made conversion of the shore zones. This parameter, together with a large contribution of helophytes to the total shoreline length, is the main factor which limits the shore accessibility. The analysis of the structure of fish stockings shows that lakes were stocked mainly with species which are attractive to anglers. The evaluation of the level of angling management of the lakes, against the background of their natural assets, suggests that the recreational potential has not been fully taken advantage of, which means that there is room for further improvement of tourism in the both communes: Liniewo and Nowa Karczma.

Key words: angling, commune of Liniewo, commune of Nowa Karczma, evaluation, lakes, water recreation.
