Fishing licenses
Rules concerning fishing licences and purchase of fishing rights:
All anglers between the ages of 18 and 65 must have a valid state fishing licence to fish in Danish waters. Children under 18 and seniors are permitted to fish without a public licence. The only exception to the mandotory licence is for so-called "put and take" lakes.
You must have purchased the fishing licence before you start fishing and the licence must be valid for the entire period. The Fishing Authorities carry out spot checks and you may be fined for fishing without a licence.
Income from licences is used 100% for restocking of fish, and research into modern fishing developments.
Prices for fishing licences 2012:
