Luxembourg, a small landlocked country, has a modest fishing industry primarily focused on freshwater angling rather than commercial fishing. The country's rivers and lakes, such as the Moselle, Sûre, and Our, are home to popular species like pike, perch, zander, carp, and trout, which are the top catches among local and visiting anglers. Historically, fishing in Luxembourg has been a traditional activity rather than a significant economic sector, with strict regulations and conservation efforts ensuring sustainable fish populations. The emphasis in recent decades has shifted towards recreational fishing, with well-managed fisheries and stocked waters attracting enthusiasts and supporting local tourism rather than large-scale commercial exploitation.
