Salmon in the Western Baltic Sea

Catch restrictions

Restrictions for 2026

01/01 - 31/12: Fishing for salmon is prohibited and all incidental catch must be discarded. However, it is permitted to take home 1 adipose fin-clipped (released) salmon per fisherman per day. The catch must be brought home whole.

Please note
Since 1 January 2024, it has not been allowed to catch salomon for recreational anglers in the Western Baltic Sea. This also applies to passengers fishing from tour boats.

It is not a closed season imposed by the Danish authorities, but rather a catch restriction set by the EU, which applies to sub-areas 22-31.
