Fishing FAQ
The most common beginner questions before a first Cyprus fishing trip.
Freshwater fishing in reservoirs and dams needs a DFMR license. Normal sea fishing with a rod from shore usually does not. Spearfishing and boat fishing have separate rules.
Use the map and spots pages: reservoirs across the island plus sea shore areas near Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, and Ayia Napa. Every spot shows its fish, difficulty, and photos.
Freshwater: largemouth bass, carp, trout, catfish, and more. Sea: sea bream, mullet, barracuda, and others. The fish wiki lists 50 species with methods and baits.
Fish from shore only and in daylight — from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. No nets, chemicals, lights, hand lines, boats, or floating devices.
