The German Fishing Association e. V. ( DAFV ) is the umbrella organization for anglers in Germany. With around 500,000 members, the DAFV is one of the largest nature conservation associations in Germany recognized under Section 59 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act .
history
The association was created on May 28, 2013 with the merger of the Association of German Sport Fishermen (VDSF) , to which mainly anglers from the old federal territory belonged, and the German Anglers Association (DAV) , which was mostly based in the new federal states .
Various attempts to merge the two German nationwide fishing associations had failed since reunification in 1990. Before the merger, the VDSF partially rejected the DAV fishing competitions because it saw itself more as a nature conservation association. Members of the DAV, on the other hand, rejected regulations such as the night fishing ban.
At the end of 2014, the DAFV announced its withdrawal from the German Olympic Sports Confederation .
