The water quality of Willwerather reservoir water samples The water quality is crucial for the well-being of our fish. To sum it up in a few words: Good water - healthy fish. In order to ensure the water quality, we started taking water samples at different points in our body of water in 2022 in order to regularly check the quality of our body of water. We bring these values together in a comparison table in order to be able to identify deviations at an early stage and counteract them as quickly as possible. Water pollution or water pollution is man-made pollution of surface waters (rivers, lakes, seas) and groundwater with sometimes toxic substances, through the discharge of sewage, the washing out of pollutants introduced into the soil (fertilizers, etc.) or illegal dumping. Even in low concentrations, residues of pesticides, biocides and other chemicals can have an impact on the environment and human health our wildlife have. Therefore, we are all dependent on keeping our waters clean and free from contamination. Information on unusual water discharges or substances around the Willwerath reservoir or other waters, we are happy to accept, also anonymously.

Die Brutanlage des AV Prüm im Wandel der Zeit Our "nursery" The hatchery Return From the Brunnenstube to the hatchery Load More .... after the renovation After the extensive renovation work in 2008, during which the dilapidated floor and ceiling were renewed, in the following years the complete water supply, water enrichment, and filtering and the entire electrical installation were brought up to date, the hatchery is equipped with additional breeding channels, holding tanks and one unique, experimental electrostatic hatcher ready for the future. Time travel to 2006 - functional but shaky. In the meantime getting old and the growing number of eggs no longer growing, it was time to change something. Extensive work was required to ensure that our water attendants were able to offer a better and safer workplace for the complex and time-consuming brood care. The wooden planks were dangerously slippery and sometimes fragile - light was only donated by a weak, outdated neon tube in the dark winter months. For the breeding season 2007/2008 this should be a thing of the past. After many hours of voluntary work and with the help of donations from the RWE, the "new" hatchery was handed over to the water body on time. Before the breeding ground of our "Eifeler brown trout" had moved to the hatchery in the early 90s, there was the Brunnenstube. The Brunnenstube is located about 2 km from today's hatchery. The spring water collected here used to supply drinking water. However, since the line dates from before World War I and therefore no longer meets today's drinking water production standards, it was made available to the association. So it happened that the first offspring were bred in this 1.2 m wide, 3 m deep and 2.4 m high shaft in 2 breeding channels. About 7 rungs of a rusty ladder were used to get into the shaft, to sort out dead eggs in the light of a flashlight and later to take care of the seedlings. The Brunnenstube is a bit "off the beaten path" so that it was actually not reasonable to do the brood service alone in winter, at a time when the cell phone was still a dream of the future. The logical consequence - the hatchery - which made life a lot easier at the time, is now a presentable hatchery. Unfortunately, we do not have any pictures from this period. The photos of the Brunnenstube shown here date from 2015. At that time there was a decline in the water supply in the hatchery, which was due to the leaking pipework in the Brunnenstube. This dates from the early 90s and can be seen in the pictures. Below again the plant in the brood house 2017 in direct comparison to the Brunnenstube - It clearly shows the long way we have taken since the beginning of the project. A path that we can rightly be proud of. Here the hatchery in 1994. It shows Erhard Nieder and Klaus Abels fishing off the seedlings. These were placed in the fountain room for the last time in 1993 and later (spring 94) transported to the incubator. It was then completely finished in 1995 with the completion of the plastering work. For the next 13 years, the system served the association well and paved the way for more than 2 million small brown trout to escape. Today, 14 years after the renovation, we are already over 4 million and there is still no end in sight.

Die Äsche - seltener Flussbewohner The grayling ... ... beautiful and threatened thymallus thymallus ... it is considered to be the most colorful local fish, it is the leading fish of the river region of the "grayling region" and fish of the year 2011. But the "flag bearer" has become a rarity in our waters or has completely disappeared. Grayling stand in the middle water, show no escape behavior and do not seek cover like brown trout would. So they are usually the first to fall prey to the invading cormorants. In most cases, however, water pollution from agriculture and industry, but also the construction of rivers and the associated reduction in shallow water zones, which are indispensable for larvae and juveniles, as well as the warming of the water is a main reason for a decline in stocks. The grayling Thymallus thymallus due to the large, striking dorsal fin also called the flag bearer belongs to the family of salmonids (salmon-like). In many places, committed associations are trying to preserve the species in their waters through stocking measures. However, it is scarcely possible to support established tribes with outside stocking. It is more promising to remove parent animals from existing populations that have already undergone a regional adaptation genetically. By breeding these animals it is possible to rebuild a stock "from below". It is a misconception that the use of adult animals is the right way. These can usually not adapt and contribute little, if any, to the natural reproduction of inventory. The search begins ... ... so it happened that in 2018 we started looking for a source for suitable grayling parents or fertilized eggs. Only a few are dedicated to the breeding of grayling, as a rule, breeders encounter animals that have been imported from Sweden / Denmark, if any statements about their origin are made. Our colleagues from Switzerland recognized the signs of the times and started a breeding program very early on. But after several conversations it was clear that no suitable material could be obtained here either - the Rhine Falls near Neuhausen represent a natural obstacle to hiking and the grayling trunks above and below differ genetically too much to be able to bring them into our waters.

Aal Salmo trutta fario Bachforelle (Salmo trutta fario) Brasse Döbel Grasskarpfen Hecht Rotauge Rotfeder Schleie Schuppenkarpfen Spiegelkarpfen Zander Der Zander (Sander lucioperca) wird maximal etwa 120 cm lang und etwa 20 kg schwer. Der Zander ist ein Süßwasserfisch der Gattung Sander aus der Familie der Echten Barsche (Percidae). Er ist in den Binnengewässern Mittel- und Osteuropas weit verbreitet. Früher reichte sein Verbreitungsgebiet östlich der Elbe über Osteuropa bis zum Aralsee. Im letzten Jahrhundert wurde der Zander auch westlich der Elbe eingebürgert. Er lebt einzeln oder in kleinen Schwärmen und bevorzugt im Gegensatz zum Hecht das uferferne Freiwasser. Der Zander bevorzugt größere, durch Plankton getrübte Fließgewässer (auch stehende Gewässer wie Teiche oder Seen) mit festen Untergründen. Der Zander lebt überwiegend im Süßwasser, kommt aber auch in Brackwasserbereichen (Flussmündungen) der Ostsee vor. Normalerweise lebt dieser Raubfisch bodennah in Wassertiefen von 3 bis 5 Metern, wo er an markanten Bodenformationen (Felsen, Vertiefungen) oder an Spundwänden auf Beute lauert. Bei klarem Wasser zieht sich der Zander in tiefere Wasserschichten zurück. Dank einer reflektierenden Pigmentschicht im Auge (Glasauge) kann der Zander nachts sehr gut sehen. So findet er seine Beute auch bei sehr schwachem Licht. Die Verbreitung des Zanders wird durch Besatzmaßnahmen und die Schaffung von Laichplätzen unterstützt. Bei Sportanglern ist der sehr scheue Zander ein beliebter Zielfisch. Bevorzugte Stellen für den Zanderfang sind z.B. Spundwände, Vertiefungen oder erhöhte Bodenformationen.

Vereinsgewässer und Erlaubnisscheine Club lake Artificial Lake Willwerath 360° tour Since 1971, the Willwerath reservoir with 1.62 ha of water has been the club water of the Prüm 1967 eV fishing association, which in addition to the regular restocking measures, also takes care of the maintenance work around the lake. In addition to large predators such as pike and pikeperch, the reservoir is naturally populated with original "Eifel brook trout" and is one of the few lakes in the region in which the rainbow trout has not found its way. Perches and eels are also part of the local biodiversity. The reservoir offers the coarse angler the opportunity to fish both mirror and scale carp. Roaches, chubs and bream may be taken without limitation. The statutory closed seasons and minimum dimensions apply to all other types. Fishing permits can be purchased on Sundays with the hut open (see hut services) or at our issuing offices in Prüm: water quality daily tickets arrival Weather at the reservoir

Eel-Care During its complex life cycle, the eel is exposed to many adverse influences such as pollution, overfishing of the young eel stocks (glass eels are a delicacy!), Climate change, diseases, parasites and predators. The eel has been on the "Red List" of endangered species since 1987, and today its stocks are considered "highly endangered" mainly because the glacial eel production on the coasts accounted for two to five percent of the amount at the beginning of the 1960s decreased n is.

Wie züchtet man originale Eifeler Bachforellen salmo trutta fario "Eifel brown trout" Back The stripping of farmed fish Every year in the first weeks of December, project work begins for us when our spawning trout are stripped. Each of these hand-picked trout comes from wild catches of regional streams or from the breeding program itself. A main task is the regular "refreshing" of the spawning fish strain in order to incorporate a maximum of genetic diversity into the breeding program. For this purpose, the fishing club Prüm 1967 eV has a fixed spawn fish in the breeding facility "In der Litzer". Here the trout experience year-round care and care and can be stripped off with minimal stress. The seed (milk) of the male trout (Milchner) are then added to the eggs, and here too, as with spawning, several trout are streaked. Since there are usually more males than females available, the mixture is mixed in a ratio of 2 - 4, which benefits the genetic diversity due to the different mating. Water is added to the mixture for fertilization and carefully stirred with a goose feather. When they arrive at the hatchery, the eggs are rinsed out in clear water and carefully placed in the undercurrent boxes with a counting plate. From now on, these are checked daily and dead eggs are read out. Until the eye point stage is reached, the eggs cannot be transported and unnecessary movement is avoided. We expect about 420 daily degrees for our trout. This means that at a water temperature of 6 ° C, the larvae hatch after about 70 days The female trout (Rogner) are spread the eggs into a fine sieve with gentle pressure on the belly. The eggs are in ovarian fluid here, contact with water is largely prevented to prevent the egg membrane from closing. If you have enough eggs, put them in a smooth bowl. Left trout larvae just before hatching. You can clearly see the eyes and the torso through the eggshell, the orange color comes from the yolk sac, from which the larvae feed in the first few weeks before being fed. Larvae hatching and hatching below. Even if a continuous supply of fresh, oxygen-rich water is important throughout the breeding - from here on it is essential. Even brief disruptions can result in significant losses. In late April to early May, the time has come. The trout have outgrown the hatchery and need more space to thrive. A large part is brought to the "In der Litzer" pond for further breeding. Another part is released into the upper reaches in streams leased by the association. These are not fished, but only nurtured for spawning fish at large intervals. Trout become sexually mature at the age of 2-3. First spawners are not used for breeding purposes, at 4-5 years high quality roe / milk can be obtained and the cycle closes.
