What exactly is the MeeVIStoestemming?

The MeeVIStoestemming (Fishing Along permit) is a written permit VISpas holders can use to bring someone along with them on an angling day trip to a nationally shared water included in the Joint List of Dutch fishing waters. As a member of an affiliated fishing club (VISpas holder) you can take family, friends or acquaintances who are interested with you on an angling day trip and introduce angling to them. After all, you are the best ambassador for angling. 

This allows VISpas holders to take someone on a fishing day trip as a gift, while people who are interested in angling are not immediately required to purchase the VISpas and become a member of a club. 

The Fishing Along permit is only valid when the person fishing is accompanied by the VISpas holder, under the same conditions, except that fish caught by the guest must always be returned to the water. The Fishing Along permit is only valid during the day (1 hour before sunrise until 2 hours after sunset) and for a maximum of 2 rods.

The VISpas permits the holder to have several guests on one single day, but not the same person several times.

The Fishing Along permit is only valid for the waters included in the Joint List of Dutch fishing waters, or the waters that are on the VISplanner and for which ‘VISpas’ is indicated as a required document.
