Why Fish on Fyn, Langeland and Ærø?
Fyn, Langeland and Ærø offer a unique combination of accessibility, variety and freedom that few sea trout destinations can match. Surrounded by water, the islands provide over a thousand kilometres of coastline — meaning there is almost always a sheltered stretch of coast to fish, regardless of wind direction.
Changing wind and weather are part of coastal fishing, but on an island this becomes an advantage rather than a limitation. With multiple coastlines facing different directions, anglers can quickly adapt to conditions and find fishable water even on windy days. This flexibility makes it possible to plan fishing day by day instead of being locked into one location.
Equally important is the freedom of fishing. Large parts of the coastline are open and accessible, allowing anglers to move freely, explore new water and fish at their own pace. Combined with short distances, varied seabeds and healthy stocks of wild sea trout, the islands create a destination where conditions work with the angler — not against them.
More Than Just Fishing
A sea trout fishing holiday on Fyn is easy to combine with a wide range of other experiences. When the rods are resting, the island offers nature, culture and local food experiences — all within short driving distances.
Fyn is known as Denmark’s garden, with rolling landscapes, small villages and a dense network of cycling and hiking routes. The coastline invites swimming, kayaking and coastal walks, while the inland offers forests, lakes and manor landscapes ideal for slower exploration.
Cultural experiences are never far away. Visit Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, explore historic castles and manor houses, or enjoy small harbour towns with cafés, smokehouses and local restaurants. Fresh seafood, local produce and relaxed island life are part of the experience.
For many visitors, this combination of world-class sea trout fishing and varied holiday experiences makes Fyn an ideal destination — whether travelling solo, with friends or with family.

The Danish Fishing Licence
When fishing for sea trout on Fyn, Langeland and Ærø, a valid Danish fishing licence is required for most anglers. The licence is mandatory for everyone aged 18 to 65 and applies to both coastal and freshwater fishing.
The fishing licence helps fund conservation work, habitat restoration and monitoring of fish stocks across Denmark. By purchasing a licence, you actively support the protection of wild sea trout and the waters you are fishing.
Licences can be bought online and are available for different periods, including daily, weekly and annual options. Always carry proof of your licence when fishing, as inspections may occur.
Please note that local rules, closed seasons and protected areas still apply, even with a valid licence. Make sure you are familiar with the regulations before heading out to the coast.
