When the little ones go hunting for big fish …
Just go to the shore, cast out the fishing rod and let’s have fun?
Unfortunately, the issue of “fishing for children” is not quite so simple, even in the fishing vacation. Certain rules also apply to children when they tackle the fishing adventure professionally.
Fishing for children: Please accompany
The age from which children are allowed to fish and fish on their own in the individual (federal) states varies. Usually supervision by an adult with a valid fishing license is mandatory up to the age of 14.
Fishing card for kids
From what age children need their own fishing card varies by state, as does the supervision by an accompanying person (more info on this can be found here). To get such a fishing license, the kids have to take a fishing exam. The responsible district administration will then issue the card itself. In addition to the successfully passed exam, a declaration of consent from the parent or guardian, an official photo ID, a photo and a registration slip for issuing the fishing permit must also be brought with you.
Why fishing for children is becoming more popular
For a long time now, fathers and grandfathers in particular have enjoyed taking their “little ones” fishing and introducing them to this nature-loving hobby. In this way, children can learn at an early age how to treat nature with respect.
The required knowledge can be imparted relatively easily and quickly under professional guiding. Since a sense of achievement is often achieved quickly, children remain particularly motivated in this leisure activity.
