licence system |
|
|
|
The fishing licence system has three points |
|
|
|
1.Angling with a hook and
line and ice-fishing are free of charge under public rights of access,
except in lakes reserved for angling rainbow trout or other such special
fishing sites. |
|
2.
Other fishing and crayfishing require
people aged 18–64 to have a) paid the state fishing management fee
and b) acquired a fishing licence. |
|
3.
People aged under 18 or over 64 do not
have to pay the state fishing management fee. In addition, they may fish
with one rod and lure free of charge, with the exception of rapids sites
and other special fishing sites. For other types of fishing, they also
need a fishing licence. |

 |
You don´t need a licence for angling with
a hook and line... |
