Fishing/boating at Lake Constance

I am in the very early stages of planning our Sept 09 trip.

I tried searching but can't seem to find the answer. Can you fish (catch and release) Lake Constance?

Can you rent boats, fishing type, or motor type?

Thanks,
Lydia

You can buy a fishing licence at the local tourist information, but it will only be valid for fishing on the waterfront. If you want to use a boat for fishing, you need a "Fischereierlaubniskarte" permit, this is not easy to get.

Thanks Logos.

Do you know if you can rent a motor boat just for fun?

Well, it's somewhat difficult. You need a license (former class A) from either Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

With this license, you can apply for a 30 day hoilday Bodensee permit.

Does it have to be a motor boat?
You can rent smaller electric boats without problem.
