Andorra
Europe · Southern Europe
Andorra is a landlocked microstate in the Pyrenees with no sea coastline, so there is no marine spearfishing. For inland (freshwater) fishing, spearfishing / underwater fishing is effectively prohibited. Article 27 of the consolidated Fishing and Aquatic Environment Management Act (Llei 26/2021) states that only rod fishing of fish is permitted ('Únicament està permesa la pesca de peixos amb canya'), and it expressly prohibits any other method or the use of instruments such as harpoons, tridents, nets and similar gear ('arpons, tridents, filats, salabres i altres de similars'). Fishing by hand and fishing with firearms are also prohibited (Art. 28). Authorised quarry is limited to salmonids (trout) and the red frog, taken only with a rod, by day, with a fishing licence, during the annually decreed season.

- Using several rods at once, joined or not, is prohibited (Art. 27).

- Explosives, chemical/poisonous substances, electrocuting/paralysing devices and artificial light sources are prohibited (Art. 28.4).

Because the law restricts permitted fishing to rod-and-line only and explicitly bans harpoons/tridents, spearguns and any underwater spearfishing gear are not lawful in Andorra's inland waters.

د څیړونکي یادښتونه
Andorra is a landlocked Pyrenean microstate (no sea coastline), so marine spearfishing does not apply. Spearfishing / underwater fishing in freshwater is effectively prohibited: Article 27 of Llei 26/2021 permits only rod fishing and explicitly bans harpoons (arpons), tridents and similar instruments; Article 28 additionally bans hand fishing and firearms. Permitted recreational fishing is rod-only for salmonids (trout) and the red frog, by day, with a mandatory licence, within the annually decreed season. Verbatim legal text (Art. 27, 28, 31) was retrieved from the official Portal Jurídic d'Andorra. Season dates are for 2026 (from a national newspaper; the binding figures are set each year by ministerial order in BOPA). Catch-limit and minimum-size figures come from a secondary fishing guide and an annual-order summary and vary by zone and year. Licence costs were not published on the fetched official pages (marked unknown). Inland/freshwater spearfishing: Prohibited in all inland waters — Andorra is landlocked, and Article 27 of Llei 26/2021 (consolidated Fishing and Aquatic Environment Management Act) permits only rod fishing and explicitly bans harpoons, tridents, and similar instruments; no exceptions exist for any named lake, river, or reservoir.
