Permits and licenses to fish in Spain:

In Spain there are no private rivers, all waters are public.
To be able to fish in the Spanish rivers it is necessary to have the fishing license of the corresponding autonomous community. But to fish in some of the best waters we will need an additional fishing permit on a daily basis.

To obtain these fishing permits it is usually necessary to participate in a previous draw for which you have to apply months in advance.

We must recognize that there are many bureaucratic obstacles to fishing in the best rivers in Spain, so the safest and most viable way is fishing with a fishing guides company.
