Fishing in Limburg? Don't forget your VISpas!

Do you want to fish in Limburg? Then you need a VISpas. This is your official fishing license and membership certificate of an angling sports association and Sportvisserij Nederland. The VISpas allows you to fish in almost 90% of Dutch waters.

There are different VISpas, depending on your age and wishes. Want to apply for a VISpas, know where you are allowed to fish or what rules apply? Then check out the frequently asked questions and all the information on the VISpas page.

Fishing in Limburg without a VISpas? The Limburg vergunning offers a solution!

Want to fish in Limburg temporarily, but don't have a VISpas? Then the Limburg permit is a handy solution. This allows you to fish with a maximum of two rods (youth up to 14 years with one rod) in the Limburg waters that are included in the Joint List of Dutch Fishing Waters.

Note: the Limburg vergunning is not a replacement for the Night Fishing Permit or Third Pole Permit.

The permit costs €17.50 and is available at various outlets in the province. See all the details on the Limburgvergunning page.
