COASTAL FISHING

Holbæk municipality is home to

some of Denmark’s best coastal

fishing spots. The Isefjord offers

fantastic fishing for sea trout all

throughout the year, but other

exciting species are also present.

During the season, fish like garfish,

herring, mackerel, flounders – and

the occasional school of mullet,

can be successfully targeted.

The fjord is well-sheltered from

heavy winds, and it is not only

perfect for wading but also for

boat- and kayak fishing.
