At the turn of the year, five large angling permit areas will be redistributed into 52 new permit areas. In addition, the boundaries of trap fishing permit areas will be revised. All trap fishing permits for 2025 and permits for the large angling areas must be purchased no later than 30 November 2025.
Trap fishing in this permit area always requires a trap permit. You will also be required to pay the fisheries management fee, unless you are under 18 years of age, over 70 years of age, or are 65 years of age or older as of 31 December 2023.
The trap permit for this area only entitles you to fish waters specified in the water area directory and marked in the map window on this page. Always check water area-specific trapping restrictions, protected areas and any other instructions in the water area directory/PDF-map. You can find the water area directory/PDF-map under Map files and brochures.
