Cyprus Sport Fishing
Contemplating the meaning of life or attempting to break a record, whatever your ideas are about sportfishing, Cyprus facilitates them. A long tradition in fishing, 23 dams that provide excellent fresh water fishing, over 80 different salt water fish species in the surrounding Mediterranean Sea and a well organised fishing department makes Cyprus a sport fisher's paradise.
Fresh Water Fishing - fishing in dams and reservoirs
Many dams are open all year round. In the Cyprus fresh waters you will find some 17 different species like Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Carp, Tench, Catfish, Silver Bream, Pike, Zander, Tilapia and Roach, depending on the dam. The list of dams on the dams in Cyprus page shows the most common types of fish in each dam.
There has been an update in the laws and regulations for fishing in Cyprus on Jan 2008. You now need licence for many types of fishing. Licences can be obtained from the Head Office of Fisheries Department, Nicosia or from the District Offices of Fisheries Department. Contact the Fisheries Department, to find out for what form of fishing a licence is requred. |
Salt Water Fishing
Fishing boats can be found at various fishing shelters and stations. See the salt water fishing page for the details.
Since the regulation change in January 2008 a licence is required for most angling in the sea. Licences can be obtained from the Head Office of Fisheries Department, Nicosia or from the District Offices of Fisheries Department. Contact the Fisheries Department, to find out for what form of fishing a licence is requred.
