Exclusive dates available
We are proud to announce that we offer a exclusive amount of 10-day holidays per year on the banks of arguably the most coveted water in Europe. These spaces are incredibly hard to get and we have a selection of swims on the lake throughout the year on a monthly booking basis. Please be aware this is a big baiting and casting water and we have created bait packages needed to maximise your catch rates as Zajarki specials to help with costs for this specific water.
This is a member only water requiring an active membership to Carp Circle to book Zajarki. They will be offered on a first come first serve basis and are controlled by a waiting list that our members can easily be included on.
Welcome to Lake Zajarki
Zajarki is an artificial lake in Croatia. It is located in Zagreb County, near the town of Zaprešić
With its extraordinary rich stock of fish, catching carp over 80lb is not a rare sight here. In fact, the experts have estimated that the average growth rate of fish in this lake is between 10 - 20 lbs a year.
The Lake
It is believed that Zajarki is amongst the top lakes in Europe at present and has one of the best big fish stocks in Europe at present.
Catching numerous big fish is not a rare sight here. Most of the big fishing brands and Europe’s finest anglers have now enjoyed the mighty zajarki with the likes of Korda, Fox, Ridgemonkey & Dynamite all having had great big fish experiences here.
The Stock
Possibly one of Europe’s best stocked carp lakes boasting a minimum of 6 fish over 90lb and 50-60 fish over 70lb with the biggest expected to be topping 100lb soon.
The lake is regularly stocked and due to the rules of the lake requiring that every catch is officially reported, the size and volume of stock is well documented.
The Experience
Zajarki is a well looked after water ensuring the water is rich, the fish are healthy and the venue is clean and well managed.
We will make sure with our local knowledge on the lake that you have the most productive holiday possible with carefully selected fishing tackle provided for comfort and fishing.
