You must also have a valid fishing permit during an emergency

As a consequence of the digital education system at home, as an alternative to spending their free time safely and usefully, more and more children want to visit their parents to fish on the shores of the Iron Waters. Every year, sport fishing is becoming more and more popular among young people as a leisure activity, which is why it is important to be aware of the basic documents needed for fishing. In Hungary, even during periods of emergency, a valid fishing permit is a basic condition for starting fishing. It is important to know that according to the law, young people from the age of three can officially fish and from the age of 14 (young people under the age of 15 by 31 December of the given year) are considered child fishermen. Child anglers can only stay on the waterfront with an adult escort, but they do not yet need a fishing exam to obtain a state permit. For children, the state fishing document costs only HUF 300 a year, which can be purchased at fishing associations together with the necessary territorial permits. It is not necessary to exchange a territorial ticket for the nearly 1,400 hectares of water managed by the Association (eg Rába River, Szombathelyi Csónakázó-tó) until the age of 6, ie all children can fish in the iron waters free of charge with a state ticket. For the past six years, the fishing permit for 2020 will cost only HUF 8,000 for the 29 rivers and 20 stagnant waters managed by the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Anglers' Associations. The child can fish with an area ticket, a fishing rod, but since last year it can also be used to swim and bottom in the iron fishing waters. The basic equipment for a beginner child is very variable, but for those who have not yet fished, we recommend that you buy a 4-5 meter so-called tip rod with its own ready-made gear. There is also a need for a diving chair, fish carrier, hook release, bucket, spare float, hook, line and bait, bait. It’s a basic swim gear, but with that you can already try the fishing experience. In the fishing shops and online stores, the majority of the sellers are experienced anglers, so they can help you choose the optimal solution by specifying the amount that can be spent on the equipment. Furthermore, there are almost 550,000 registered anglers in Hungary, so it is relatively easy to find an angler in a circle of acquaintances. If there is no such person in our environment, then the experienced fishermen in the member associations of the association, in the fishing shops and on the waterfront will also help to acquire the basic equipment and information. It is important to know that fishing candidates over the age of 14 already have to take a fishing exam, which is not possible now during the epidemic situation due to the temporary suspension of the exams. Those who are not able to take the exam now, but want to fish on the shores of the Iron Waters, can also exchange an online tourist state ticket valid for three months for both young people and adults without a fishing exam.

For example, we carry out all activities on the waterfront in such a way that the wildlife is not harmed or only caused as little damage as possible, everyone takes home as many fish as they really need, behaves and leaves the fishing spot clean when fishing is complete.
