Fishing Licences (Valencia and Murcia)

single.php

Posted and filed under General Articles of Interest, Travel and Tourism.

Several people have mentioned that they love fishing (of course, it is such a popular sport) and the freshwater fishing is apparently fantastic in Spain.  We were going to detail how to obtain your licences (the Guardia Civil are rather hot here on this), but one of the main fishing clubs on the Costa Blanca has a fantastic page on this here http://carp-r-us.weebly.com/licences.html.  One thing we would mention is that although non residents do need a NIE number and Carp-R-Us suggest you can get that at the Embassy in your own country, we at Spanish Solutions can arrange this very simply here in one day. You just need to make an appointment with us and to have a passport photograph. Contact Amanda on enquiries@spanishsolutions.net for more details.

I have also been told Abbey Fishing Club is very good and the link to their website is here: http://abbeyangling.com/

One place we would suggest visiting is the lovely Pedrera Reservoir. There is free fishing with a local licence and you can catch bass, zander and pike. It is easy to access the lake and it is fairly flat so can be fished from the bank. You can access the lake from many points, an easy one being the road that goes from San Miguel de Salinas and Torremendo.

    Want to start fishing again. I am 76 years old.
    I paid 10 euros for a fishing licence in Pilar de la horadada, Town Hall want to fish the rivers in Bosquet near San Felipe near Crevillente. DOES MY LICENCE COVER THIS DISTRICT AND DO I NEED INSURANCE, I am resident and been living in Spain for 20 years in Campo Verde.
    Thank You.

      Afternoon John,

      Thank you for your enquiry.

      Your fishing permit will cover the whole of the Valencian Community, therefore you will be able to fish in Crevillente as it is within the Valencian Community. If you are fishing as a hobby, you will not need insurance. We hope this helps.

      Kind regards

    Hi Nicola I have a fishing license for freshwater and sea for malaga province but I have moved to Valencia region . I have residencia . How do I go about changing it and would I have to do another test? Many thanks George

    • Nicola Ryan

      Thank you for your enquiry George,

      We dont think you will be able to transfer the fishing licence as it is a different region you are moving to. You can apply for a new licence at any of your local tackle shops or fishing clubs, we hope this helps.

      Kind regards
      Nicola

  • Gary

    How much is a Velencia fishing licence and how many years do they last. Regards. Gary.

    • Nicola Ryan

      Morning Gary,

      We are unsure of this information, it would be best to discuss this with your local tackle shop or fishing club.

      Kind regards
      Nicola

  • Tony Wilkinson

    Hi Nicola
    I have just moved to Spain and living in the Costa Blanca area. My fishing tackle will be shipped over in August. Can I purchase a coarse fishing licence from a tackle shop in Spain. Do I have to do a test ?

    • Nicola Ryan

      Thank you for your enquiry Tony,

      Here in Spain you can apply for an offshore licence or an on shore licence. These can be obtained from your local fishing clubs or tackle shops. As far as we are aware a test is not required.

      We hope this helps.

    Hi, I have just moved to Los Alcázares and I have an NIE number. What documents do I need for pleasure/hobby fishing in Murcia area please?

      Good Morning Ian,

      Thank you for your enquiry.

      You would also need your passport. You can apply for the fishing permit at your nearest tackle shop or fishing club, we hope this helps.

  • Colin Baker

    Hi Nicola, usually our club re-joins me every year but unfortunately our leader has passed. I need a Valenciana licence for fishing the Jucar river also Beniganim reservoir. Can i renew online ??

    • Nicola Ryan

      Afternoon Colin,

      We are sorry to hear about your leader passing. To be honest, we are unsure if it can be renewed online or a new application would be needed. You could check this with your local tackle/fishing shop, they would be able to confirm. We are sorry we cant be of much more help.

      Kind regards
      Nicola

  • Robert Smith

    I was under the impression that fishing in the reservoir’s in Spain was always free so long as you had the relevant regional licence ie Valencian licence , so why do you have to pay to fish the reservoir at Villa- Joyosa near Benidorm , I would love to know the reason why, thank you.

    • Nicola Ryan

      Thank you for your enquiry Robert,

      This would be best directed at the local town hall of Villa- Joyosa, we would not be able to answer this, we are sorry.

      Kind regards

    You can’t get a Murcia Fishing licence from a fishing shop for freshwater fishing, you need to go to the Ayuntamiento.

    • Nicola Ryan

      Thank you for the update Paul.

    Hi I live in mazarron and have a Murcia fishing license for five years I’m sure I read once you reach 65 you can get a freshwater license free and it’s for life is this correct

    • Nicola Ryan

      Thank you for your enquiry Paul,

      We were not aware of this. It would be best to check this with a local tackle/fishing shop or fishing club. They would know.
