Angling for sea trout can be done around the
entire island, as long as you choose your angling sites with care. Bornholm is
one of the few places in Europe that has a self- reproducing strain of wild sea
trout.
Two other popular angling activities on the island are herring fishing
from piers and break-waters in late summer and autumn and angling for garfish
in early summer.
The bogs and lakes of Bornholm are generally well-stocked
with brackish-water fish and pike. Trolling for sea trout and salmon is one of
the new, major fishing methods, and Bornholm holds the Danish record in this discipline
with a salmon weighing 17.5 kg.
Cod fishing is done either individually from
small boats, which can be rented, or on organized sea tours on fishing boats.
Both forms always provide good possibilities for satisfying catches for many wonderful
dinners.
Melsted Offshore Trolling Marine - located at Sannes Family camping
- offers boats for hire in addition to being a meeting place for anglers. Here
Allan provides information, advise and guidance about actual fishing sites, the
island's angling possibilities, angling equipment and tackle as well as assistance
in contacting angling guides and and trolling instructors.
