Fishing in Lithuania is one of the best in Europe. There are lakes, rivers and the Baltic Sea where fishermen can have a chance to fish “the trophy of their live”.

The most popular places for fishing in Lithuania are the delta of the Nemunas, the environs of Klaipeda, the Baltic Sea coast near Palanga, the Kurshskaya Spit and the lakes in the National parks in Zhemaitia and Aukshaitia.

The Nemunas, the main river of the country, is rich in different kinds of fish. There are pikes, perches, salmon and zanders there. Those who want to fish in the delta of the Nemunas can stay in such small towns as Rusne, Shilute, Kintai, Shvekshna or in many village houses on the banks of the rivers Atmata, Vorusna and Rusne.

Herring is the main fish in the Baltic Sea. In such places as Palanga and Klipeda you may rent a vessel with a captain and a guide to fish herring .

According to the Lithuanian Law you may fish only if you have a special card (permit) or a license. You can buy a card in specialized fishing shops. Young people under 16 and people over 65 do not need special permitting cards.
