The clean waters of Nidwalden are home to many different species of fish, including trout, whitefish, pike, zander and perch. Fishing in Nidwalden requires a cantonal fishing licence; licences of various durations are available.

If you're visiting Nidwalden, you can obtain a "tourist licence" that's valid for one week: you'll need to confirm the address of your accommodation. Licences are issued in Stans by the cantonal department of hunting and fishing.
