Belgium’s fly fishing scene boasts spectacular water bodies, each offering a unique experience for avid anglers. The Ourthe River, stretching 165 kilometers through the Ardennes in Wallonia, is a prime destination. Formed by the confluence of the Western and Eastern Ourthe, it combines picturesque landscapes with excellent fishing opportunities.
In East Belgium, the Eifel-Ardennes region stands out for its abundance of pristine waters, featuring diverse spots from serene lakes to rushing rivers. The exceptional water quality nurtures rich biodiversity, attracting species like carp, pike, and trout. These idyllic settings, often set against stunning natural backdrops, offer both relaxation and adventure.
Note that fishing licenses differ between North Belgium (Flanders) and South Belgium (Wallonia). Detailed license requirements are provided on this page.
