Fishing Associations

For fishing associations, there are few changes compared to previous years. We will still be using our competition registration system for applying for competitions. You can do this through our competition module. If you can't find it, you can access it via this link.

External Parties

For external parties that are not members of the federation, there are some changes, especially for competitions organized from boats, bellyboats, or kayaks. Starting in 2024, we will be operating on an 'on and off' week schedule. During odd weeks, we will allow large competitions or events to be organized. However, during even weeks, we will not permit them. This measure is aimed at reducing fishing pressure and providing more opportunities for individual anglers on our prime waters, such as the Haringvliet, Hollands Diep, etc.

If you are an external party interested in organizing a competition or event on our waters, please take a look at the overview below and contact steintimmers@sportvisserijzwn.nl to explore the possibilities.
