To fish in Biscay —in the rivers (Nervión, Butrón) or in the Bay of Biscay— you need the fishing license from Basque Country (issued by the Provincial Councils (river) and the Basque Government (sea)). It costs €8.79/year (river). Here’s a summary and where to fish in the province.
The license is obtained at the Basque Country level (not by province) and is valid throughout Biscay:
| If you are fishing in… | You need |
|---|---|
| River or reservoir | Continental license from Basque Country |
| The sea (from shore or boat) | Maritime license from Basque Country |
