Information for preparing for the fishing exam

The history of the examination of basic fishing knowledge goes back several decades. In the beginning, the examination was conducted mainly at the associations. After the successful examination, its documentation was recorded in the fishing certificate with an entry and seal. Since the nineties, the "Fishing Exam Certificate" issued by the authority certifies the existence of the exam. If you have taken an exam once in your life and can prove it with a fishing certificate, you do not need to take a new exam even after several decades.

The fishing test is required by the 2013 CII. Section 40 (2) of the Act (on Fish Management and Fish Protection) stipulates as follows:

"A state fishing license can be obtained by a person who has a fishing license or presents a previous valid state fishing license, proves his membership in a fishing organization and has submitted his catch log. The state fishing exam can be verified with the exam certificate issued by the fisheries authority, and the exam taken in another country with the certificate or fishing document issued to that effect."
