The Engadin has particularly rich fishing grounds, making it one of the most plentiful inland fishing regions in Europe. Even during a longer stay, no angler has to visit the same body of water twice over. A 15-day fishing licence is available permitting fishing in all the 460 waters of the Canton of the Grisons, Switzerland.

Fly-fishing highlights can be exercised on the mountain lakes of Lej Nair or Lej Pitschen below Lago Bianco on the Bernina Pass. But, these two lakes may only be fished with a special licence. This can be obtained from the Pontresina Tourist Information Agency. The season is from the beginning of June to mid-October. Further information on fishing in the Upper Engadin can also be obtained from the Cantonal Office for Hunting and Fishing of the Grisons, or from the Upper Engadin Fishing Association. Furthermore, young people up to the age of 14 may fish free of charge when accompanied by adult licence holders.
