In Tuscany region no license is required for recreational and sport fishing at sea.
But a fishing license is required for inland waters.
Inland waters
FISHING LICENCE
You must be in possession of a valid Fishing Licence in order to fish at an amateur level in Tuscany’s inland waters.
Children under 12 may fish without a licence.
There are two types of amateur fishing licences: Type B or Type C.
- The Type B licence is valid for one year, at a cost of € 35.00 (thirty five euros).
- The Type C licence is valid for 15 days, at a cost of € 10.00 (ten euros); this is the licence usually requested by tourists.
Fishing without a licence will incur a fine in an amount from € 80.00 to € 480.00.
There are three alternative ways to make payment: (i) postal payment in Italy; (ii) bank transfer; (iii) Internet payment. In all cases, you always have to bring your payment receipt with you while you are fishing.
- POSTAL PAYMENT IN ITALY: When you will come to Italy, you may pay your licence fee to the Region of Tuscany Tresurer’s Department by postal payment (“bollettino postale” that you’ll pay at an Italian Post Office); click here for the document (bollettino).
You have to write by yourself:
