Fishing Spots
Zealand is a fairly large island and it is sometimes hard to locate the right fishing spot. On the map you will find the best fishing spots. These locations have been carefully chosen to provide you with the best knowledge of where to go when targeting your favorite fish.
Infrastructure
Zealand has a great setup for anglers. Here you can also find a number of good accommodations in all price ranges.
When coming to a new area, it is often hard to figure out what the fish feed on or where the fish currently are located. A guide can provide you with invaluable information when you kick off your fishing trip. You can find all the local fishing guides on our map here. Fishing from a boat gives you an opportunity to explore vast areas and you will often be able to fish more efficiently. It is also possible to bring your own boat or rent a small boat – find more info on the map here.
Angling seasons/closed seasons
You can fish along the coasts of Zealand year round, but the fishing changes over the course of the year. The peak season is from March to May and again from August to October.
Are you e.g. fishing for sea trout, note that colored sea trout are protected by law from November 16 – January 15 (both days included). If you catch a colored sea trout in this period, it should be carefully released. You can read more about conservation dates here and more about how to handle and release fish here. Rules also apply for rivers that run into the sea – here certain areas are completely or periodically protected in order to conserve migratory sea trout populations. Find more about these rules here.
