Spearfishing (lowiectwo podwodne / amatorski polow ryb kusza) is legal in Poland but tightly regulated. It is treated as a form of amateur fishing under the Inland Fisheries Act of 18 April 1985 and its implementing regulation of 12 November 2001. A practitioner must hold a karta lowiectwa podwodnego (underwater hunting card), issued from age 18 after passing a state exam, plus a permit (zezwolenie) from the holder of fishing rights to the water. Only a muscle-powered crossbow firing a tethered harpoon is allowed; SCUBA/breathing apparatus is forbidden (breath-hold only); hunting is daytime-only; the diver must stay within 50 m of a yellow surface float of at least 5 litres buoyancy. On State-owned inland waters a closed season runs from 15 October to 15 May, and salmonids and eel may not be taken with a crossbow. Protection periods, minimum sizes and catch limits for individual species apply as for rod fishing.

- Carry photo ID.
შეზღუდვები
- Same equipment, season, daytime, float and species rules as for residents.
The law conditions amateur fishing on possession of the card and permit rather than on residency; foreigners must satisfy the same card/exam requirement. Recognition of equivalent foreign qualifications was not verified in sources.

- Pass the state exam covering nature protection, amateur fishing rules for the crossbow, crossbow safety, and free-diving safety.
- Obtain the card from the starosta of place of residence.

Lakes and rivers in inland waters where the holder of fishing rights (e.g. Wody Polskie / Polish Angling Association PZW / fishery operators) has issued a crossbow-fishing permit. Spearfishing is allowed with a karta lowiectwa podwodnego plus the relevant zezwolenie, subject to the daytime, 50 m float and submersion rules.

Freshwater inland lake in Zachodniopomorskie (West Pomerania), Stargard County, area ~596 ha, max depth ~42 m. Spearfishing with a crossbow (kusza) is explicitly permitted by the rights holder (Ińskie Centrum Rybactwa / ZPW) on a paid-permit basis (daily 85–110 PLN, weekly, seasonal tickets; 3-lake season permit 590 PLN). Season 15 May – 15 October; national rules apply (karta łowiectwa podwodnego + written permit, breath-hold only, daylight only).
Freshwater lake in Zachodniopomorskie (Stargard County, Pojezierze Ińskie), area ~233 ha, ~10 km south of Ińsko.

აკრძალული ტერიტორიები
- State Treasury inland waters during 15 October - 15 Mayseasonal closed zone
Underwater hunting is banned on State-owned inland waters during the closed period 15 October to 15 May.
- Słowiński National Park – Baltic marine watersnational park / marine waters
Within the marine (Baltic Sea) waters of Słowiński National Park, the official park fishing regulation explicitly prohibits taking fish and other marine organisms with a crossbow (kusza). Recreational fishing is allowed only from shore (beach/wading) along the strip between sea-shore markers 200–211 km, excluding designated bathing places (150 m buffer); crossbow/spearfishing is banned. The park lies on the Pomeranian Voivodeship Baltic coast around Łeba–Smołdzino–Rowy, encompassing coastal lagoon lakes Łebsko and Gardno.
- Wolin National Park – inland lakesnational park / inland lakes
All inland lakes lying within Wolin National Park (on Wolin island, West Pomeranian Voivodeship — Warnowskie, Rabiąż, Czajcze, Domysłowskie, Gardno, Turkusowe) are under full protection with a complete ban on fishing, which precludes spearfishing/crossbow fishing. Recreational fishing in the park is restricted to the Pomeranian Bay shore strip, the Szczecin Lagoon (from boats, outside vegetation zones) and the reverse Świna Delta — not the inland lakes.
- Jezioro Sławskielake
Largest lake in Lubuskie Voivodeship (area ~817 ha, Gmina Sława, Wschowa County). From 1 January 2019 the managing fishery operator Gospodarstwo Rybackie Sława introduced a complete ban (całkowity zakaz) on underwater crossbow spearfishing across all water bodies in its fishing district, including Sławskie, Tarnowskie (Duże/Małe), Młyńskie (Duże/Małe), Kuźnickie, Brzezie, and Steklno (Górne/Dolne). The operator-level ban applies on top of the national open-season restrictions.

მკვლევარის შენიშვნები
Spearfishing in Poland is legal but restricted, regulated as a form of amateur fishing under the Inland Fisheries Act of 18 April 1985 and the implementing Regulation of 12 November 2001 (Dz.U. 2001 nr 138 poz. 1559; consolidated Dz.U. 2018 poz. 2003). Core rules verified verbatim: muscle-powered crossbow firing a tethered harpoon with max 3 blades within a 30 mm circle; breath-hold only (no SCUBA); crossbow fully submerged when loaded/released; daytime only (1 h after sunrise to 1 h before sunset); within 50 m of a yellow float of >=5 L buoyancy; underwater hunting card from age 18 after a state exam plus a water permit. On State-owned inland waters a closed season runs 15 October - 15 May and salmonids and eel may not be taken. The closed-season and salmonid/eel prohibition are documented by the Spearfishing Poland association and fishery operators as conditions on State Treasury inland waters rather than from a single fetched government article; the equipment, float, submersion and daytime rules are confirmed from the consolidated 2001 Regulation. Marine/Baltic spearfishing: recreational sea fishing is overseen by GIRM and requires only a paid recreational fishing fee for shore/non-vessel fishing, but spearfishing with a crossbow is governed by the inland fisheries (kusza) regime and is in practice an inland-waters activity; dedicated Baltic-sea spearfishing rules were not found in fetched sources, so sea-specific zone/season detail is left unstated. Cost of the card and permits was not retrieved and is marked unknown. data_confidence=high for the inland legal framework and equipment/method rules (verbatim statutory text obtained); medium for catch-limit specifics and marine applicability. Inland/freshwater spearfishing: Spearfishing (kusza / łowiectwo podwodne) is legal on Polish inland and freshwater bodies as a form of amateur fishing under the Inland Fisheries Act of 1985, but requires a state-issued karta łowiectwa podwodnego plus a written permit from the specific fishery rights holder; individual operators may ban it (and some have), and the national closed season on state-owned inland waters runs 15 October – 15 May.
