The Truth About Cuba Licence Requirements!!!

[wildbows]

Hello everyone. Thanks to all who responded to my previous post on the requirements for a non residence sport fishing licence in Cuba. I'm sure we all agreed that the facts should be clear before even taking the rod out of the tube. Many contacts I have were all in question if one was needed or not. I contacted the Cuban Canadian Embassy and received the following response.
"QUOTE",

You do not require any special licenses or permits to fish in Cuba.
Tourists can fish pretty much anywhere, the only exception would be a
breeding lake. You can fish from any shore, if you are planning on
renting a boat and going out, the marina will have all the necessary
paperwork for you.

Regards,
Caroline

Streamside RE:Licenses, good research it will be nice to fish this year knowing that! Now if I could only find some good topo maps for the cayos. Here is a good link for a satellite image of cayo largo that really shows the flats well www.solutionsss.com/cl.JPG next time I head there I may take inflatable kayak with me. If I get up marmot way this year maybe we can make a few runs Hope this helps with your upcoming trip. Merry Xmas B.A.
