The study of growth and distribution parameters in tagged carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the canyon-shaped dam reservoirs (Brno and Dalešice) was performed. Altogether, 59 (1.5%) and 274 (4.6%) individuals from the Brno and Dalešice reservoirs, respectively, were re-captured and documented (by anglers) from originally 4000 and 6000 tagged fish released. The growth performance of tagged fish (two-year-old carp K2) was only moderate during the first year after stocking in the Brno reservoir (for time span d0-d360 it corresponds to TL = 304-384 mm, w = 497-1170 g, and SGR = 0.2378 %.d-1), very similar to that in the Dalešice reservoir (d0-d360 TL= 301-386 mm, w = 510-1215 g and SGR = 0,2399 %.d-1). The condition parameters (TL:w and FWC) were very similar as well. Different distributional patterns of the catches were however recorded. The growth performance of carp in the Brno reservoir was lower than expected on the basis of its altitude and mean annual water temperature.
