The Zuid-Willemsvaart is a major public canal located in the Netherlands, running through the Noord-Brabant and Limburg provinces. As one of the more significant waterways in the southern Netherlands, it offers accessible canal fishing for a diverse range of species, drawing both local anglers and visiting fishermen from across Europe. The canal is accessible to all anglers holding a valid VISpas, the standard Dutch fishing license, and operates under the Dutch public waters free-access system — making it a straightforward destination to plan a trip to without the need for advance bookings or special venue permits beyond the standard licensing requirements.
