Estremadura, true to his passion for fishing, establishes within its regulation the reserve areas for fishing practice, but also, aware of the limitations that this can generate for some athletes.
It has annual free fishing zones, where, although the regulations of practices and use of equipment are maintained, they also allow the practice only by using the respective fishing license.
What is a fishing free zone
Are considered fishing-free zones those specific sections in which you only need to have a river fishing license granted by the corresponding body to issue it for that sector or community. Although it is not necessary to pay another type of permit, it will be necessary to follow the regulations already established in the law, in relation to the type of fishing, schedules, techniques and other related.
