Fishing in Denmark

Fishing permit
Anglers will find Denmark a country where there is every opportunity to indulge in their favorite pastime. Nowhere is more than 35miles from the sea and there are plenty of well-stocked lakes and rivers, not to mention the fjord waters around Limfjord. All anglers between the ages of 18 and 67 require a permit irrespective of whether they are intent on freshwater or sea fishing. This permit can be for a year, a week or a day, and is priced accordingly, with the revenue it generates being allocated by the Danish Ministry of Fisheries to benefit fishing throughout the country. Anyone found fishing without a permit will be given just two weeks to pay double the sum charged for the 12-month permit.
Sea angling
Danish waters are ideal for sea fishing. Throughout the year boats put out from ports such as Helsingør, Esbjerg and Frederikshaven with sea anglers and longshore fishermen on board.

Tips: Most of the fishing rights in inland waters are in private hands but permits for these can usually be obtained from the local tourist offices.
