Free fishing around Luzern using artificial bait?

[esl2]

Hello all,

Apologies for posting in English, I have just moved to Switzerland and have yet to master the language.

I have recently obtained my SaNa qualification. I am now looking to fish near the Luzern area, using artificial bait (lures, wobblers etc.) from the shore. Can anyone point me in the direction of free or cheap fishing areas around Luzern? I am aware of the patents for Lake Luzern, however, they are mostly quite expensive and I would like to keep costs down as much as possible. Here are a couple of questions I also have:

Is a patent required to fish from a boat or kayak in lake Luzern?

Is fishing in the Alpnachsee free from the shore, even when using artificial baits?

Many thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

Hi esl2 and welcome to the Fischerforum!

We all share the same passion for fishing & nature and I have met many great friends through this forum. So please introduce yourself to the wider audience in this thread: viewforum.php?f=3

Artificial baits are usually not allowed under the 'Freiangelrecht' in Switzerland, same goes for Lucerne. You may fish from the shore using natural baits (worms, maggots, bread, corn,...), a bobber and a single hook.

Is a patent required to fish from a boat or kayak in lake Luzern?

Yes, fishing from a boat/kayak requires a licence.

Is fishing in the Alpnachsee free from the shore, even when using artificial baits?

No.

Best regards,
Swordfish

Vielen Dank an alle für die Informationen. Es sieht so aus, als würde ich ein Patent erhalten.
