In Ticino, as in the rest of Switzerland, fishing in public waters requires a license and the completing and submission of catch statistics.
The tourist fishing license does not require a SaNa license and can be issued for 2 or 7 days. Details in the PDF information on the side.
Starting with the 2025 fishing season, in Ticino both the license and statistics booklet can also be obtained digitally via the Pesca TI mobile APP.

Switching to the license and statistics in digital format is optional: the paper license in its standard form remains available at all times.
Paper fishing licenses can be obtained from local tourist boards and municipal registrars (see PDF “Point of sales_2025”).
