If may be tempting to stop the car as you pass a stream or lake and bring out your fishing tackle, but don't do it, unless you have a fishing card!

Fishing rights in natural lakes and streams are nearly always private, but are often let to local angling societies which issue day or week cards. In addition to the obligatory fishing license, rates are approx. DKK 40-150 for a day card, and DKK 100-350 for a week card.
At many places, a boat can be rented with fishing rights included.

In many cases, the cards are available from the local tourist office which can also offer help and give detailed advise on freshwater fishing in the area.
 
The angler is obliged to seek information himself on fishing restrictions and close seasons. Information and addresses of angling societies are obtainable from:
