The fish stock of the inflow-zone of the Římov Reservoir was studied by using two special constructed big traps. One trap was sampling the fish migrating from the reservoir to the Malse River, the other was sampling downstream migrants. The most intensive fish movement was recorded during spring spawning season. Proportionally to the fish stock of the reservoir, the tributary zone was used mainly by the bleak, .i.Alburnus alburnus./i., Asp, .i.Aspius aspius./i. and roach .i.Rutilus rutilus./i.. Smaller affinity to tributary spawning was found for the bream .i.Abramis brama./i. and perch, .i.Perca fluviatilis./i. (5 to 10 % of reservoir fish spawning in the tributary). Over 6000 kg of migrating fish were captured in the tributary area during spring periods of three years. Consequences of the application of tributary traps for fish exploitation and management are being discussed.
