Lalzi Bay is a favorite area for fishing due to the increased presence of fish that follow the food coming from the stream, in fact a drainage channel that collects the waters from the Rrushkull Reserves, almost 15 km long, bringing with it abundant nutrients even for the fish that prefer a mixture of fresh and salt water. You can fish with hook rod but also with small nets (prezvol), or with nets in shape of basket that can better hold shrimps, crabs or octopuses.

Chelonia mydas (green turtle), which is considered an endangered species, is found in Lalëz Bay. You can fish there bream, sea bass, mullet, anchovy, common smooth hound, pipefish, annular sea bream etc. But you can also catch shrimp that is served on the shores for food. If you fish with prezvol you will also catch some blue crabs that inhabit the shallow waters near the river’s mouth on the coast.

While fishing near dusk you can enjoy a wonderful sunset and seagulls rest in flocks on the sand for awhile.
