Fishing in the river of Vejle Å and the lake of Vingsted Sø requires a state angler fishing license (provided you are between 18-64 years of age) and that you are furthermore either a member of Vejle Sportfiskerforening (Vejle Angling Association) or hold a one-day angling permit valid for these local angling areas. For conservation reasons, the sale of angling permits is divided into zones. Non-members can purchase day permits for selected zones.

For children and the young, the following applies:

• Children aged under 12 can angle free of charge but must nonetheless still acquire a permit
• Children and the young aged from 12 to 18 pay half price for permits

Day permits (and guest cards for members of Vejle Sportfiskerforening) can be purchased online atfiskekort.dk. Day and guest permits are valid from midnight to midnight within the same date. You can purchase a permit 60 days in advance.

All anglers between the age of 18 and 64 must have a valid state angler fishing license to fish in Danish waters. Such a license grants the holder the right to fish with light hand-held tackle, e.g. fishing rods and harpoons, but not with fixed equipment such as nets or fykes.

The fishing license is available as a daily, weekly, or annual pass. The state fishing license must be carried and shown upon request. The state fishing license can be purchased at fisketegn.dk.

The fishing rights to most lakes and streams in Denmark belong to landowners and local sports fishing associations. Anglers aged between 18-64 must purchase a National Angler Fishing License. Those under the age of 18 or aged above 64 do not need such licenses. In addition, all anglers irrespective of age must obtain a local angling permit, which in many cases are valid for a whole year. Information on local fishing permits, closed seasons and minimum sizes applicable to the specific location and species can be obtained from the respective sport fishing associations.

It is free to fish in some lakes and streams in Vejle. See more about fisking in Vejle and the area (in Danish).

Fishing Put & Takes

Put & Take lakes require neither National Angler Fishing Licenses nor local fishing permits. At such lakes you simply purchase day permits or hourly permits on-site.

Bait angling

Angling with live or dead bait for pike and pikeperch is permitted most places. However, live bait must be caught in the same lake where you intend to use it. However, in most lakes, especially in trout lakes, angling for live bate is not permitted.

As a rule, Danish national regulation applies regarding minimum landing sizes and close seasons in Vejle’s fishing waters. Please note that the minimum landing sizes and the close seasons listed below are merely indicative. Other conservation provisions can be accessed at fvm.dk. 

Remember that as an angler, you are always obliged to keep yourself informed of any applicable restrictions.
