It can be obtained from the nearest town hall, it is valid for one month and costs a nominal fee of about 2 Euros. This is necessary in order to buy day fishing permits. A day fishing permit can be obtained from the local branch of the Slovak Anglers Association. Finding the local branch of the association can often prove a difficult task, however we can obtain all the licences for you. |
