The Curonian Lagoon and the Klaipeda Channel are the best places for amateur fishing. Prevalent fish species here are common bream (Abramis brama), perch (Perca fluviatilis), pike-perch (Stizostedion lucioperca), roach (Rutilus rutilus), vimba (Vimba vimba) etc. In spring, fishermen go for the Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) in the Klaipeda Channel.
