Fishing

In Groningen, you can enjoy the most wonderful fishing adventures. Groningen is, in fact, one of the provinces in the Netherlands with the richest fish stocks. Here you’ll find rivers, canals, lakes, fish-rich ponds and the ‘Maren’ – so characteristic of Groningen. And you can catch fish everywhere. From monster pike and magnificent carp to even sea trout. Enjoy a relaxed spot of fishing from the comfort of your armchair. Or head out onto the Wadden Sea in a boat. Adventure guaranteed.

Fishing for connection

Those who fish appreciate nature and underwater life. Unfortunately, the fish population in the Wadden Sea is declining. One of the causes is the poor natural connection between Wadden and hinterland, the streams. By improving fish migration to the Lauwersmeer and the hinterland waters, fish stocks in the Wadden Sea can increase again. The Fish for connection project is committed to this.
