Zuid-Holland holds some of the Netherlands' finest public lake fishing — the Westeinderplassen (1,000ha), Reeuwijkse Plassen (735ha) and Kagerplassen (600ha) are within easy reach of Schiphol. These shallow, productive peat lakes hold strong Carp, Bream and Tench populations. Night fishing is permitted on most waters with a NachtVIStoestemming.
All 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.
