Gran Canaria Freshwater Fishing Licence

The Gran Canaria freshwater fishing licence is needed if you want to go fishing in the various lakes that are located on the island, like presa Chira or Soria. Travel operators who organize fishing trips will do the job for you, as it is generally included in their excursion package, but if you want to go fishing on your own, then you will need to get a licence for the days that you will be around the lakes. We can do the job for you.

Types of Gran Canaria Freshwater Fishing Licences

There are a four types of licences, depending on the length of your stay, age, and residence status:

  1. Fortnight (20 euros):  If you’re only coming for a short period, then this is ideal for you. The validity is 15 days.
  2. Yearly (30 euros): This one’s validity is one year, so if you will be coming back or will be fishing for over two weeks, then it is for you.
  3. For kids (20 euros): children under the age of 16. One year validity.
  4. Residents (20 euros): For locals and foreigners permanently staying in Spain. We will only need your NIE (foreigner identification number) document.


Freshwater Fishing Licence: What it does NOT include

This type of licence doesn’t allow you to do any kind of shore fishing, so if you want to do shore fishing too, then you need to apply for a shore fishing licence, by clicking here.
