Where to buy your fishing licence for 2025?
Since December 18, 2025, the fishing card for the year 2025 is available.
It is, in fact, available on the cartedepeche.fr . You can now buy your fishing licence directly online. Once connected to the cartedepeche.fr here you can create an account (if you haven't already done so) and choose the type of card you want, then proceed to secure payment. You'll then have the choice of printing your fishing card yourself, or having it sent to you by post for a few extra euros.
For those anglers who wish, fishing cards will also be available from your local retailers or from certain approved fishing distributors. An opportunity to chat with other enthusiasts and relive the good times of the past year.
As a reminder, you always have the option of choosing the Aappma of your choice, and thus helping the Aappma that works hardest to preserve and develop the various fishing grounds in France.
Prices set to rise further in 2025
The price of fishing cards has risen again this year, by 5 euros for the major inter-federal card. It's been a habit for some time now, and one that may irritate some people - an increase of 7 euros in 10 years. It's true that these are difficult times for many anglers, and that an increase in the price of the fishing pass is not the best of news. So, by 2025, you'll have to pay a little more to fish in France's freshwater waters.
- Interfederal fishing pass: ?112
- Women's fishing pass: ?41
- Discovery fishing pass (under 12): ?7
- Weekly fishing pass: ?36
Prices for departmental, day and youth passes are set by each departmental federation.
