The Sea Trouts Are Waiting

The coasts of Geopark The South Fyn Archipelago are known for their unique conditions for sea trout fishing. The fine conditions for making a great catch have been more than 25 years in the making, the result of a determined effort to improve living conditions for the sea trout as well as the quality of water. No matter the season and regardless of wind direction and wind force, you will always be able to find a suitable fishing spot along the coast.

All year around, anglers catch large silvery sea trout. When the water temperature rises in spring, garfish and – later in the season – mackerel turn up in the waters around South Fyn. Due to the short distances, it is easy to find a new fishing spot when the weather changes. Spring and autumn are the peak seasons along the coasts of South Fyn. But try fishing during winter as well when the water temperatures get lower. You don’t have to wade that far out, as you can find sea trout at knee depth, where the water is a bit warmer.

A winter fishing weekend on Avernakø or one of the other small islands is a special experience. On the smaller islands, you can always find a nice fishing spot sheltered from the wind – and you won’t be far away from the warm stove at home.

Fishing Lodges

South Fyn has accommodation options specifically suited for anglers, with facilities for drying your waders and freezing your catch. And your host might just tell you about their favourite fishing spots.

Boat Fishing

Off the coasts of Langeland, you can go sea fishing on the Great Belt. Rent a boat in Bagenkop or Spodsbjerg, or take a trip on a fishing vessel and catch large codfish, pollock, and flatfish.

Pier Fishing

Flatfish, garfish, mackerel, and herring are caught in large numbers from piers and quays all over the archipelago. Especially in summer, when garfish and mackerel arrive in large shoals, fishing from the pier can be quite exciting. Pier fishing is the perfect choice for children and beginners. Remember to get your fishing license (free of charge for children under the age of 18 and senior citizens).

Buy your fishing license at one of the region’s tourist offices. The guidebook ‘117 Fine Fishing Spots’ can be ordered at visitfaaborg.com or purchased at the tourist offices
