The Randers area is renowned for highly varied angling, as the fresh water from the Gudenå river meets the salty fjord water, creating perfect hunting conditions for a range of fish species.

The Gudenå river, fishing and salmon are important parts of Randers' history. Today there are still salmon in the Gudenå river, but you can also catch several other types of fish, such as perch and sea trout.

Randers Fjord is an extension of the Gudenå river system and the long confluence of fresh water and salt provides rich opportunities to catch a wide range of fish.

Gudenå
The Gudenå river system offers good fishing for more than just the renowned salmon and sea trout. There are healthy stocks of zander, pike and perch. Only a state fishing license is required from Randers and about 8 kilometres along the Gudenå river to Frisenvold.    

Randers Fjord
The tidal flow affects the salt content of the fjord, which means the fish follow ebb and flow dependeing on which condotions they prefer. At the top of the fjord, you can find fish that prefer brackish water, such as pike, zander and whitefish. Further out towards its mouth, there are execellent chances of catching flounder and herring.
