Have a look at at the back of a magazine called
Het visblad think that's correct.( by sportvisserij nederland)
I got a copy from a nephew yesterday as it was part of a pack he got at school last year in a town near leiden for his fishing class he did at school.
There is a dutch group like the carp society that's name escapes me . Join them and go to there meetings and I'm sure you get help. I have been a member for a few years but have never managed to get to one but the quarterly magazine is pretty good.
Good luck.
Group is called ksn

When you buy your national fishing permit www.vispas.nl you get a list of places you can fish apparently.

If you're after 'dayticket venues' we don't really have a system similar to the UK. We have betaalwateren ('paywaters') where you can usually book a night or a (few) week(s). But why you would you? We have loads of great venues you can fish much cheaper. Just buy a Vispas (https://www.sportvisserijnederland.nl/vispas/vispas-english/) and you'll be able to fish loads of waters year-round. It comes with an app that shows you where you can fish. It's called 'Visplanner' and downloading it to your phone is mandatory. Some venues may require an additional supplement to the Vispas (i.e. a 'local' permit). Usually that's a €15 surcharge or something like that. In return, you get to fish there all year.
Anyway, here's some 'betaalwateren':
https://www.carplantis.com/en/
https://www.fishingadventure.nl/
https://www.dekoperenplas.nl/
https://www.carpvalley.nl/
Also check out https://www.thecarpspecialist.co.uk/ for a variety of options (including the abovementioned venues). I believe Steve Briggs also visited Carplantis and Carp Valley and shot some footage there (check Google).
If you need any more info on fishing in Holland, let me know.

So having spent the last few days driving round holland with the vispas app to see where the free water and club lakes are.
I can report it's worth buying the vispas ticket to see where the free fishing!! Is and where the club waters are.
Also shows me that there is alot of private water , and I guess this is where the night fishing is and three rods are allowed as the free fishing seams days only on two rods.
Is this a correct assumption?
I have been looking for waters near Bergen op Zoom but struggled so started looking further afield while we are out and about.

Sportvisserij Nederland (SVN) leases fishing rights on public waters. It's an overarching, national fisheries organisation with regional federations subject to it. So if you buy the Vispas, you are granted the right to fish their venues free of further charge. The Vispas does not necessarily grant you the right to fish all venues though, because many are controlled by regional federations. Let's say you want to fish a small lake in a specific region, you first need to check the app to see whether the venue is leased by SVN or by a local federation.
Example: you want to fish a specific swath of the Twentekanaal (Twente Canal) Carp4fun mentioned earlier. You check the desired spot on the map. One part of the canal is colored red, meaning the holder of fishing rights is not Sportvisserij Nederland. In this case a part of the canal is leased by 'HSV V.I.O.S. - Enschede' (Angling Club VIOS - Enschede). This means you will need the Vispas, supplemented with a membership to HSV VIOS Enschede to fish that area. If you look at other parts of the Twentekanaal then, you'll see these are colored blue. This means the fishing rights are leased by SVN. So these parts can be fished with the regular Vispas.
You can also buy some separate permissions online and expand your rights. This includes night fishing ('nachtvistoestemming,'€10) and a third rod permit ('derde hengel vergunning,' €25) if you desire so. So you CAN fish at night and with three rods, but you need to buy these permissions and add them to your Vispas. Take note that on some regional venues, the night fishing permission or third rod permit is already included in their permit and they may have different rules compared to SVN.

Not at all. I like to read, so I know a few bits about the canals. I've never fished the Twentekanaal myself though
As far as I've heard and read, it's far from what it used to be. But it might still be nice to cross the place for memory's sake. Bleiswijk has a nice lake indeed, one I've really been wanting to try since last year.
When are you planning to go?

Hiya,not sure about travelling dates as Covid may have a say on that.i used to go for long weekends,Harwich-Hook of Holland overnight thursday sailing then have 3 days-only fishing,head to Amsterdam for final day for shops,bars etc..rounded the trip off nicely.like i said i havent been over since 1990 ish so lots must have changed,been fishing other countries in search of hippos,Holland was really enjoyable,non stop action but nothing big,high 20s was best i had,just like the tranquillity,rawness and unknown of the canals,could be 12lb or 40lb and they fight like hell.id love to go this year sometime but no dates as yet.btw the dutch guys i met whilst over there were fabulous lads,good english and happy to show us other venues,you wouldnt get that in the UK,very sad how carp fishing has gone over here,no morals or etiquette anymore,just sad loners with huge egos trying to get the next consultancy deal at any cost.

I'm sure most English guys was helpful etc in the 90s. I very much doubt it's just over here that egos have changed
