The 6 km long district, including the 30 ha Rottau compensatory reservoir, has been managed without fish stocking for over 10 years - with the exception of a Huchen reintroduction project. Instead, extensive measures such as the creation of spawning grounds, gravel placement and groyne construction have been implemented. A ban on the removal of species such as brown trout and grayling has led to the establishment of a self-reproducing wild fish population and the grayling has been successfully reintroduced.

The 15,000 m² Påcherteich is fed by constant groundwater, which keeps the water quality stable and promotes the well-being of the fish. Optimally balanced fish stocking, in which water zones and food supply are ideally utilized, avoids territorial stress. This leads to a firm meat consistency and an excellent taste of the fish.) to use all legally permitted bait.
