Before you can start fishing, you will need a valid:

  • Outdoors Card ( a plastic identification card, valid for three calendar years), and
  • a fishing licence (valid for either one or three calendar years).

A fishing licence can be for either:

  • conservation (reduced catch limits)
  • sport (normal catch limits)

Further information on the Outdoors Card, obtaining a fishing licence as well as fees and catch limits can be found by visit the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry website.
