About this list

Every fish species found in the Netherlands, from the well-known angling fish to rare visitors from the sea. Each species has its own page: how to recognise it, how it lives, the rules, and what our data say about it.

Use the buttons at the top to show fresh, brackish or sea fish, predators, popular or protected species, or the fish you may catch now. The marks on a card show what its page adds: best fishing spots, XXL areas where big ones are caught more often, or data insights from our models.

Written up in depth, with records and tackle tips: tench, ide, bream, carp, asp, wels catfish, perch, zander, pike and European seabass.
