AQUA-FISCH is confirmed to occur between March 6th—March 8th, 2026. The trade fair will return to Messe Friedrichshafen and continue where it left off.
AQUA-FISCH serves two primary functions. It is Southern Germany's most extensive purchasing platform for fishing products and terrariums/aquarium equipment. It also signifies the official start of the fishing season. Where else will AQUA-FISCH be hosted other than at Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen, Germany? The international trade fair always runs at the end of March in Messe Friedrichshafen. The trade fair gives exhibitors the perfect opportunity to debut products to an audience that has come to make purchases. It is also one of the most extensive social events for the fishing community. The fair accommodates the interest of all age groups. There is always something to do for skilled anglers, fly fishers, aquarists, children, and young adults.
AQUA-FISCH holds a special place in the German fishing community. It is not just a trade fair but the beginning of the season for anglers, fly fishers and aquarists. It is an opportunity for the coterie to network, reconnect, and conduct business. That is why it has earned itself the position of the most extensive fish fair in Southern Germany. What is best about the trade fair is that it presents the entire value chain of fishing and the underwater world. Discover the full spectrum of products available for fishing:
Those interested in aquariums and terrariums also have ample wares to examine. This includes enclosures, tanks, food, lighting, equipment and plants.
AQUA-FISCH is all about creating the atmosphere and engaging the community. The products are just on a static display. Instead, there is a demonstration pool for examining boat and bait demonstrations. Of course, you can get incredible skill improvement tips thanks to the invited experts in the lecture forum. The programme is built around practical advice. The topics range from technique to proper equipment. Another way to improve your fishing is by seeing the European Fly Fishing Association (EFFA) experts showcase their abilities. There is even a specialised area for children and young adults who want to try out.

Dear Megan,
The hotel all in all is good. Rooms are fine with good beds and bathrooms. Breakfast is very good for a hotel of this size. A small thing, but it would have been good with more English speaking TV channels.
It is ok to use public transports to the exhibitions ground, but it would have been even better to have a similar hotel along U78 north of the city centre when exhibiting at the Dusseldorf Messe.
Best regards,

Hi Simon,
Lovely to talk to you earlier on. Thanks for your assistance here, we didn’t have any problem with the rooms/bookings which is all you can hope in these cases!
We’d be in touch for 2020 as I can’t confirm how many people will attend and on what dates.
Thanks,

Thanks a lot for everything, we are satisfied with the service provided by you. Location was suitable in the centre of Dortmund City, and hotel was very comfortable, clean, and friendly employees.
I am glad to use your service year by year .

It was great to get the help from Travel to Fairs helping me to find a suitable hotel for a group of 5-6 people attending Ambiente 2024. We were late in arranging how many would go and always adding more people but Jack Turner and his colleagues solved all our needs fast and with a remarkable patience. I recommend Travel to fairs to everyone travelling for work.
Dear Тracy,

Hello Megan,
Thank you for reaching out! I'm pleased to inform you that the hotel at IFFA was wonderful, just as it always has been. We had a great experience there.
At the moment, we don't have any upcoming events in Frankfurt. Nonetheless, I'll definitely keep the name of the establishment on my list for future reference.
Thanks once again for your support and assistance. Looking forward to working together again!
Best regards,
Juliette
