What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at All Belgian inland public waters (Flanders).
In Flemish public inland waters only rod/line (hengel) or an eel 'peur' may be used; a landing net (schepnet) may only be used to lift out fish already caught on the line, not as a fishing method. Spearguns/harpoons are not a permitted fishing gear.
