Denmark has some of the best angling waters in Europe and you are never far from a peaceful lake, rushing stream or open sea to go fishing in. 

It’s free to fish in Denmark’s coastal waters, if you have a fishing licence. In streams and lakes, you will need to have permission from the landowner or a fishing permit to fish in that area, as well as a fishing licence. Inland water tends to be privately owned. Local angling societies often rent out water spots for fishing and there will be signs in these areas stating that fishing by others is prohibited.
