Fishing Licences
Fishing in Gudenåen and the Silkeborg lakes requires a national as well as a local fishing licence. If you are between the ages of 18 and 67, you must always purchase a fishing licence before using your rod.
Fishing Licence
As a rule, all anglers between 18 and 67 years of age need a Danish Fishing Licence. Young people under 18 years of age do not need a fishing licence. The same is applicable for people over 67 years of age. Normally it does not require a licence to fish in Put & Take lakes, but consult the different locations before you arrive.
