The seasons - Summer
Summer: June – August
When the coastal waters of Fyn start to get really warm at the beginning of June, sea trout fishing becomes somewhat different. High sun and crystal clear warm water are hopeless conditions for catching sea trout, but when the sun is setting, the trout wake up and start to forage in the rich shallow water.
So fishing in the summer means fishing at night. In June the trout can enter all the known coastal spots. Even the calm fjords and bays can offer good chances, but in July and August, fishing should be concentrated around reefs and points where there is deep, cold water, preferably with a strong current.
At night it is important to fish with the bait right on the surface, so that the sea trout can see it against the light night sky. Fly fishing generally gives the best chances, but spinners can also be used. The spots are few and concentrated in the summer when many people have their holidays. All good spots are well visited, and you cannot count on having the coast to yourself.
On the other hand, the biggest sea trout are caught on Fyn in the summer. It is quite normal to land a fish between 50 and 60 cm, and there are plenty of fish between 5 and 7 kilos. Keep in mind that fishing in the summer is very variable. A spot can be totally lifeless one night and teeming with fish the next. You can only hope that you have chosen the right place and fish through the night. In general, you should not change areas, as the nights are short and you will waste a lot of good fishing time in the car.
Good spring fishing spots
The numbers refer to the place numbering in the “117 Fine Fishingspots of Fyn"
1, 11 Enebærodde and Midskov:
When a large proportion of the sea trout leave Odense Fjord in the spring, then naturally enough, the areas around the mouth of the fjord afford good fishing.
22 – 25 Kerteminde to Nyborg:
This stretch has a lot of sandy bottom, with deep, seaweed-filled basins close to the land. Especially at high tide, they can give an abundant catch.
43 – 58 Langeland:
The spring is the high season for fishing on Langeland. There are great chances round the entire island. Choose the spot according to the wind conditions.
59 – 70 Ærø:
Just like Langeland, the best fishing on ærø is in March and April. Ærø is a great island to visit for a couple of days, and you can always find undisturbed spots.
90 – 96 Helnæs area incl. Torø:
A delightful area with lots of good chances. There is always a good fishing stretch, whichever way the wind is blowing.
