Fishing licence

All anglers between the ages of 18 and 65 must have a valid fishing licence to fish in Danish fishing waters. Fishing licences are issued as a 1-day, 1-week or annual pass, and you can purchase them at post offices, tourist offices and major tackle shops all over Denmark. You can also purchase and renew fishing licences on the website fisketegn.dk. The price is DKK 40 for a 1-day pass, DKK 130 for a week pass and DKK 185 for an annual pass.  

Fishing permits

Most of the fishing rights in lakes and streams are private, but they are often rented out to local fishing associations. If you want to fish in such places, you must purchase a special fishing permit for that particular fishing water in addition to the mandatory fishing licence. Fishing permits are typically issued as day, weekend, week and annual passes. For example, you can buy your fishing permit on the websites danskfiskekort.dk and fiskekort.dk, where you can also see the current prices and the location of fishing waters. 

If you’re fishing in one of the “put and take” lakes, you do not need a fishing licence or permit, but instead pay a fee for fishing.
