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 The wooden planks were dangerously slippery and sometimes fragile - light was only donated by a weak, outdated neon tube in the dark winter months.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.

Photovoltaic "In the Lizard" 360° tour Due to the dry summer months and the low rainfall, sometimes in the fall, it is sometimes necessary to supply the pond system with water in circulation, for this the use of pumps and pond aerators is essential - which, however, require energy. Initially, this was generated by units that were only needed for a short time, but when an increasingly long-lasting cycle operation was necessary, another solution had to be found. The So it happened that the first efforts in 2013 to electrify the system using photovoltaic modules were undertaken to ensure regenerative cycle operation. In 2014, a revised project planning provided for an open area elevation with 20 kWhp output and its own operating building to house and maintain the technology. Various regional companies took part in the tender. Financing could also be drawn up by the end of 2014. Only the approval process dragged on until spring 2016. After further official hurdles, the construction work began with the civil engineering work and foundation laying from August 2016. The system is currently being expanded and since July 2017 the PV system has been supplying the pond system with energy. After the automation is complete, the system is controlled by a PLC for optimal use of the generated energy. gallery Current plant performance The PV system is configured as an island system - so it has no connection to the local power grid - so the pond system "In der Litzer" is 100% self-sufficient. The operating building supplies the field distributors at each pond with energy and compressed air. The circulation pumps convey over 100,000 liters / hour from pond 5 into the inlet trench via the underground DN110 pump lines. At the same time, the coolness of the earth lowers the water temperature while it is being pumped through the pipes.

Gewässerverschmutzung und Verdrängung der Bachforelle Project work since 1991 Eifel brown trout and Pearl mussel The starting point Due to the increasing pollution of the waters and the displacement of the brown trout, two species were "on the brink" in Rhineland-Palatinate in the early 1990s. The brown trout (lat. Salmo trutta fario) prefers the fast and turbulent flowing, as well as oxygen-rich and summer-cold upper reaches of rivers. It is a district builder and the leading fish species of the "trout region" named after it. The brown trout hunts its prey, predominantly insects, insect larvae living in the water, but also small fish such as minnows, gudgeons or paddocks from the cover of tree roots that protrude into the water or washed-down bank areas. During the spawning season, which extends from late autumn to the winter months, the brown trout migrate upstream to spawn in gravelly areas, sometimes in the smaller side streams. It was found that the brown trout rises to the smallest brooks. In the last century, the brown trout was widespread in all running waters in the trout and grayling region. Spawning areas have been lost or silted up due to water pollution and the technical expansion of small streams, as well as the entry of washed-off arable crumbs in agricultural areas, which has had a negative impact on the breeding success of brown trout and unfortunately still does. So it was no wonder that the brown trout in Rhineland-Palatinate was often found only in smaller stocks and in 1987 on the Red List "endangered species" was recorded. On the other hand, a decrease in the population and habitat loss was observed in the river pearl mussel as early as 1800. It was not until the end of the 1960s that intensive studies on the pearl mussel and its rapid decline in population began at several locations. In the years 1985-1987 a comprehensive inventory check of the pearl mussel stocks in the FRG was carried out. It was found that the stocks on the right bank of the Rhine had already expired and the stocks on the left bank of the Rhine only existed at 5 locations, four of which were in the Eifel and one in the Hohen Venn. In 1985 it was decided to take measures to safeguard existence.

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.

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

Vereinsheim und Hüttenbuchung The Anglerklause at the Willwerath reservoir The Anglerklause is located on the east side of the reservoir. The club home of the Angel Club Prüm 1967 eV, built in 1973, is open on many Sundays during the fishing season and is a popular destination not only for anglers but also for hikers and guests of all kinds. A list of open Sundays can be found below. Visit us at the reservoir - the hut is open from 10:00. The Anglerklause can also be rented for private parties / events, on request with service and catering - space for up to 40 people in the interior and for another 20 on the terrace - our hut keeper will be happy to answer your questions. 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.

Angeln in der Prümbach Fließgewässer befischen beim AV Prüm In der Saison 2025 öffnen wir einen Teil unserer Fließgewässerstrecken für die Fischereiliche-Nutzung durch unsere Mitglieder als auch durch Gastangler. Zur Zeit sind wir noch mit der Erfassung der Bestände und der Erstellung der Hegepläne beschäftigt, das Hochwasser 2021 hat die Fischbestände in der Eifel nachhaltig geschädigt und stellt viele Vereine vor große Herausforderungen. Alle Neuigkeiten zum Thema werden hier veröffentlicht.
