Fishing permit
Whether or not you are allowed to fish in a lake, depends on who owns the bed areas along the lake. In privately-owned lakes, a permit from the individual owner of the bed is required.
Free fishing
The Municipalities of Herning and Ikast-Brande own several lakebed areas and have set rules for free fishing in the area.
The Municipality of Herning has published a fishing brochure, where you can find information and rules about fishing in their free fishing spots.
Fishing licence
In order to fish in Danish water areas, you have to purchase a state fishing licence. You can buy the fishing licence online at fisketegn.dk. Everyone between 18 and 65 years must buy this mandatory fishing licence in order to fish, even if you want to fish in the Municipality’s free areas.
