You can get a fishing license near you depending on your location and country. Here are some general options based on the region: In Germany:
- You must apply for a fishing license at the relevant local authority such as the town hall (Rathaus). A visitors' fishing license valid for three months can be obtained at local town halls for about €25, requiring a passport and a passport photo
- For specific waters, you may also need a permit from the water owner or fishing club, which can often be purchased at local tackle shops or fishing clubs
- In some states like North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), you can buy fishing permits for the Rhine in local shops that sell licenses and permits
- Private trout farms may offer fishing without a license but usually charge per day or per kilo of fish caught
In the United States:
- Fishing licenses can be purchased over-the-counter at local sporting goods stores, bait and tackle shops, or government offices like the Department of Fish and Wildlife
In England and Wales:
- You can buy a fishing license online, by phone, or from the Environment Agency
In Canada (Nova Scotia and British Columbia):
- Fishing licenses are available at registered vendors such as fishing shops, hardware stores, or government offices
To find the exact place near you:
- Visit your local town hall or city hall if you are in Germany.
- Check with local fishing tackle shops or outdoor sporting goods stores.
