Along the 258 kilometre coastline at island Als and inlet Flensborg Fjord in the Sønderborg-area, you will find many good angling spots.

Fishing license in Denmark

The fishing license from the Danish state is required of all anglers, from the age of 18 until earned right to Danish national pension (2024 = 67 years), who want´s to go fishing at the coastline, at sea or in lakes and coves connecting to the sea. 

NB. The Danish Fisheries Agency, Fiskeristyrelsen, has canceled all sales locations and from 16 March 2023 sales will therefore take place exclusively at www.fisketegn.dk

The prices of the State fishing license, per 1 August 2023 is; DKK 46 for 1 day, DKK 150 for 1 week and DKK 214 for 1 year (from date of purchase).

Fishing without a valid license leads to fine, confiscation of catch and in worst-case confiscation of gear. 

The state fishing license is personal and cannot be transferred. It gives you the right to use 3 rods at the time, and it is NOT permitted to sell the catch!

Limited catch, minimum length and closed season

The rules are limited to the fishing waters surrounding our part of the Baltic Sea, belts and sounds around island Als and Sundeved as well as the inlet Flensborg Fjord.
