With over 8,000 kilometres of coastline, Denmark has long held a reputation for being one of the best areas in Europe to target sea trout in saltwater. While there are many parts of this excellent coastline to target this great species in Denmark Fyn Island can be singled out as one of the best. Each year anglers return to Fyn Island which one of the country’s largest islands for this reason. The coastline around Fyn Island is known for its beauty and clear water, and the natural reefs and sandy beaches offer excellent year-round fishing.
Catching sea trout in any environment is a special experience, but it is well known that these hard-fighting fish are especially powerful when hooked in salt water. Sea trout fishing is, at first glance, a straightforward and easily accessible form of fishing, but as most coastal anglers will tell you, it can become a lifelong addiction once you step into this unique environment. A first sea trout in the salt can become a gateway to a lifelong relationship with this amazing form of fishing and great game fish.
The Fishing
Although you can fish the Danish coastline for sea trout year round the best months for quantity of fish are between April and October. Most of the fishing is done from the shoreline but when conditions dictate a the lodges fully kitted out boat can be used. In addition to the sea trout fishing the lodge also has access to some excellent pike fishing on a series of private lakes. To maintain the quality of the fishing the lodge restricts fishing to twenty days a year to minimise angling pressure.
Spring: Spring is often one of the busiest times of the year as large numbers of sea trout come close to the coast so are quite easily accessible. The pike season opens in May so May can be an excellent month for a combination of seat trout and pike.
Summer: Usually the weather is settled during the summer months so this can be a wonderful time to be on the water. Although the sea trout are not as numerous as in Spring the fish are in excellent condition so can fight extremely well.
September: Fish can feed well before the spawning period in the Autumn so this is an excellent time of the season.
