In this section, we will look at how to prepare for your fishing camping vacation and answer important questions that will help you to be optimally prepared.
Waters and fish species at your vacation destination
Before you cast your fishing rod, it's important to find out about the waters and fish species in the area around your campsite.
Which waters are nearby and what species of fish can be found there? Are there any particular hotspots or popular fishing spots that you should definitely visit? These questions will help you plan your fishing strategy and give you the best chance of a successful catch.
The tips below will also tell you which fish can be found in the waters and which types of fishing are permitted.
Tips

Check the websites of fishing stores
in your area. They often list the waters for which you can buy a permit in the fishing store.
Search Google Maps for waters
in the area and look online for fishing licenses or permits for these waters. The waters are often leased by local fishing clubs from which you can purchase a permit.
Equipment
The right equipment is crucial for a successful fishing experience. Here you can find out what equipment you need for your camping adventure with fishing and how you can optimize it for your limited storage space.
Basic equipment
Basic fishing equipment is essential for every angler. This includes a landing net, a dead stick, a knife, a hook remover and a measuring tape. These tools will help you to land your catch safely and handle it properly afterwards.
Special equipment for the local waters
Depending on the conditions of the waters in your area, you may need special equipment. Find out which fishing rods, reels, lines and lures are best suited to the fish species in the region. Make sure that your equipment is light and compact so that you can easily transport it when camping.

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.
