A fishing license, or rod licence, (permiso de pesca) is required to fish both inland and sea waters in Spain. Permits for fishing in Castellón and Valencia are issued by the Consellería de Medio Ambiente. Applicants must supply personal information and specify which reserves they wish to be entitled to fish. If the applicant does not have an existing foreign licence an angling exam (in Spanish) must be taken.
Holders of an existing foreign licence may make a permit application online from Telelicencia.
Fishing WatersThere are both public and private waters in Spain. An additional permit may be needed to fish in some. There are three types of fishing environment:
The fishing season varies based on the particular species of fish. Most rivers have restrictions on the numbers of licences issued per day and the quantity and size of the fish that may be caught. The website of the Spanish Fishing and Casting Association (Federación Española de Pesca y Casting) has information on fishing sites and regulations.
Fishing in ValenciaIn Valencia, both salt-water and fresh-water fishing are widely practised. A fishing fee must be paid to fish in certain areas (pesca de pago); in others fishing is free (pesca libre). Trout, carp and black-bass can be cought in the Túria, Reatillo and Jucar rivers. Organised sea fishing trips go to the Playa de Pinedo, Playa del Puig and Playa Malvarrosa where catches may include gilthead bream and sea bass.
Further information is available from the Valencian Fishing Federation (Federación Valenciana de Pesca) or the Spanish Fishing and Casting Association (Federación Española de Pesca y Casting)
