Utrecht is dominated by the famous Loosdrechtse Plassen (1,100ha) and Vinkeveense Plassen — two of the Netherlands' most popular public carp destinations. These clear, shallow peat lakes hold Carp regularly to 25kg+. Night fishing with a NachtVIStoestemming is permitted on most Utrecht waters.

Open the MapAll anglers need a VISpas (~€40/year) from Sportvisserij Nederland covering most public lakes, rivers and canals. For night fishing add a NachtVIStoestemming (€17.50/year). Buy both at sportvisserijnederland.nl before travel. Always check VISplanner.nl for rules on the specific water.
