Angling is the perfect antidote to stress, hassle, demands and duties. Angling is just about you, nature and the special atmosphere surrounding you as you wait for the perfect catch. North Jutland is a paradise for those who feel that a holiday can only be a real success if you can take off with your tackle and bait. Throughout the region, you will be close to peaceful watercourses or the open sea with some of Europe's best fishing waters for sea trout and cod.
The environment In the past 30 years, Denmark has taken extensive measures to protect the environment. As early as 1973, an act for the protection of the environment came into effect. This was the first of its kind in the world and it has been continually supplemented by further, successful measures to safeguard the country's natural beauty.
Breathing new life into the waterways Many estuaries with salmon, trout and grayling populations have been saved, pollution by nutrient salts has been significantly reduced, and the ecological balance of a large number of lakes and waterways has been restored. One of the benefits is that anglers can now enjoy countless newly formed lakes and many more miles of waterways, as many of these have been restored to their original courses.
The West Coast of North Jutland Anyone who knows Denmark will be familiar with the West Coast of North Jutland – whether it conjures up memories of swimming in the hot summer months or angling at nippier times of year. In winter, sizeable cods can be landed directly on the beaches, while flatfish are best caught in spring and autumn – without forgetting the early-summer garfish and late-summer mackerel. The mackerel in particular can provide world-class fishing thrills after spending a few balmy days in August hunting down schools of panic-stricken sprats in between the groynes!
Go to sea on a cutter
For all-out action, try boarding one of the big cutters that on a daily basis sail dedicated deep-sea anglers to battle with the giant fish on Det Gule Rev (the Yellow Reef). A fishing trip for guys with guts and sea-legs!
Limfjorden (“The Liim Fjord”) Limfjorden separates North Jutland from the rest of the continent – and does so exquisitely. Only a few places in the world can boast of so many and so varied fishing grounds as this salty fjord, which offers more spits, promontories and points than any angler could ever finish fishing at in a single lifetime. Fishing here is mainly for sea trouts in spring and autumn and early-summer garfish.
