Apply for a fishing license
Description
If you want to go fishing or angling, you need a fishing license. You must carry this with you and show it when required.
A distinction is made between
- Fishing license, which entitles you to all permitted fishing methods, and
- Youth, special and peaceful fishing licenses.
Fishing licenses are issued for 1 to 5 years and for life.
You do not need a fishing license if you,
- assist a holder of a fishing license with fishing,
- fish during a training course under the supervision of the instructor.
For fishing in the respective waters, you also need a fishing permit (fishing card), which you can obtain from the local fishing clubs or fishing associations and professional fishermen/professional fisherwomen.
Fishing license:
To obtain a fishing license, you must successfully pass the fishing exam. There you must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the following topics:
- the fish species,
- the conservation of fish stocks and water management,
- fishing gear and its use,
- the treatment of caught fish
- as well as the regulations of animal, water, nature conservation and animal disease law relevant to fishing.
In order to be admitted to the examination, you must attend a 30-hour preparatory course in which the knowledge required for the examination is taught. Such courses are offered by angling clubs and educational institutions.
Further information can be found on the website https://fischerpruefung.sachsen-anhalt.de.
Youth fishing license:
Young people can only acquire a youth fishing license for which they must have passed a youth fishing examination. The youth fishing license only entitles you to fish for peaceful fish.
Peace fishing license:
People who only want to fish for peaceful fish have the option of acquiring a peaceful fishing license. A peaceful fishing examination must be passed for this.
Special fishing license:
Persons who are unable to take a fishing examination appropriate to their age due to a disability have the option of acquiring a special fishing license. However, the special fishing license only entitles the holder to fish for peaceful fish when accompanied by a person of legal age who holds a fishing license.
