Fishing License Exhibition

Read aloud

If you want to fish in Lower Saxony, you need a fishing license in many cases. It is not mandatory under fishing law; however, most fishing license holders make it a prerequisite for the issuance of the fishing permit.

If you want to fish in an inland water where you are not a fishing licence or a fishing leaseholder, you will always need a certificate issued by the authorised person (fishing permit) in addition to your fishing licence or identity card. The same applies to the coastal waters of the Weser in Lower Saxony.

The fishing permit (fishing permit) must be obtained from the owner or the fishing lessee of the water. Questions about this can often be answered by the local fishing associations.
Information on the Lower Saxony fisherman's examination can be found on the websites of the angling associations listed below or from your local fishing association.

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the municipality, the joint municipality and the city in which you reside.
