Whether you are trout fishing, pike fishing or coarse fishing, you must observe local rules and ethics of the local fishing lakes and rivers. In most countries, permits are easily obtained from both tourist information centres and tackle shops, and you can almost always pry local knowledge and tips with ease! If you can, reading a fishing guide for your destination before setting out on a fishing holiday is priceless, saving you time and ensuring your bag is filled with suitable fishing gear for local conditions.

Thankfully, the open season changes around the world, meaning that once the season ends in Europe, fishing holidays around the world in locations like South Africa and New Zealand are just starting, allowing year round salmon, pike and trout fishing! The leisure fishing industry is truly global, and no matter how long you have been taking fishing holidays, there are still countless idyllic spots in which to tie your fly or bait your hook and go fishing in complete tranquillity.
