The aims of the study were to describe and model a pattern of fish activity in general and on species and age group levels, and in turbid and clear water. Fish activity showed two distinct peaks around sunset and sunrise and was low during night. This pattern was the same in clear and turbid reservoirs, as well as for all species and age groups tested. This study established some justifications and standards for gillnet sampling: (i) it is possible to compare overnight gillnet catches between different lowland European species and waterbodies, as the pattern of fish activity is general; (ii) gillnets should be set 2–3 h before sunset and lifted 2–3 h after sunrise to cover activity peaks, thus getting reliable and comparable results; (iii) depicting gillnet catches per average hour of exposition produces biased and incomparable results.
