Tip: Remember that less is sometimes more. Try to reduce your equipment to the essentials to save space and minimize weight.

If you are looking for practical solutions, Fishing-King, for example, offers fishing sets that are tailored to target fish and fishing techniques. These sets each include a 4-piece travel rod, ideal for camping trips.

Fishing styles

Active fishing

With active fishing, you actively move along the water, cast your line and, if necessary, change location to find fish. This method is often effective if you understand the movement patterns of the fish and can react quickly to changes.

Bank fishing

In contrast, bank fishing requires patience and perseverance. You remain seated at a selected location and wait patiently for the fish to come to you. This method is particularly suitable for calmer waters or for fish species that prefer to stay in certain areas.

It's up to your preferences

Which method you choose depends on various factors, such as the local conditions, the species of fish you want to catch and your personal preferences. By weighing up the pros and cons of each method, you can choose the best strategy for your fishing adventure and maximize your chances of a successful catch.

Permits and fishing license

Before you cast your fishing rod, it is important to clarify the necessary permits and fishing licenses, both for Germany and Switzerland as well as for fishing abroad.

Special features in Germany:

In Germany, a fishing license is required in most cases in order to fish legally. This license may have different requirements and costs depending on the federal state and body of water. At Fishing-King you have the opportunity to obtain your fishing license online and receive all the necessary information.

However, it is also possible to fish without a fishing license.

Fishing abroad: basic information

Different regulations often apply abroad. In many countries, however, a fishing license is not required, only a fishing license, which can vary depending on the country and body of water.

To find out about the specific laws and conditions in your destination country, it is advisable to search for “fishing [country]” on Google, e.g. “fishing italy” or “fishing sweden”. This will allow you to check the local regulations and prepare accordingly.

The top 5 tips for fishing campers

Space is limited

so the motto “less is more” applies. Limit your equipment to the bare essentials to save space and remain flexible.

Find the right balance

when choosing your fishing equipment so that you can react flexibly to the conditions on site. Adapt your line and rod to the surroundings to be optimally prepared and have the best chance of a successful catch.

Keep things tidy

especially at the fishing spot, to avoid chaos in the camper or tent and create a pleasant environment.

Use YouTube

to search for fishing tips in the local language, especially when traveling abroad. YouTube's translation function allows you to tap into local expertise and benefit from valuable information.

On-site inspection

Explore the waters and ask locals or fishing stores about current spots and methods. Local knowledge can be crucial for a successful fishing experience.
