Many foreign tourists are attracted to the Czech Republic by the fishing opportunities on offer there. There are two angling organizations - the Czech Angling Union and the Moravian Angling Union. Angling permits are issued by organizations entrusted with the administration of respective expanses of water upon presentation of a passport and a state angling licence. An angling permit can be valid for a specific angling ground, region or the entire area under the administration of the respective angling union. Angling Permits can be purchased for one, two, seven or fourteen days, one month, six months or one year, with prices ranging from CZK 200 to 8000. The state angling license - valid for one to two days, a period shorter than one year, one year and for young people under 15 years of age - can be purchased from district, town or local counsels, with prices raging from CZK 15 to 50

The angling season
Trout can be caught from April 16 until the end of August or November. Non-trout waters are preserved from March 16 to June 15, whereas dams are exempted from protection from time to time. Predatory fish in non-trout waters can be fished from June 16 to the end of the year. The fishing of non-predatory fish (carp) is permitted, with some exceptions, throughout the whole year. Some fishing organizations prepare a range of activities that are attractive for onlookers, for example, unstuck of fishponds, competitions in carp angling, or such special events as competitions for carp teams held under the motto "catch and let go", in which the priority concern is getting the trophy and which also serve to test the latest kind of bait.
