When you catch a trout in a Danish angling lake, it has most often come from a Danish freshwater fish farm. This is your guarantee that production has taken place with every consideration being shown to both the fish and the environment.

Danish fish farms are among the world’s leading producers of very high-quality trout. There are several explanations for this: Danish fish farms mainly produce the legendary rainbow trout, which originally comes from North America. And then Danish fish farmers have many years of considerable experience at breeding good, healthy fish in a considerate way.

In terms of production, Danish fish farmers are subject to the most restrictive legislation in the world. This means that Danish fish farmers are constantly seeking to reduce negative impact on the environment even further. Their efforts have put the industry in pole position among colleagues around the world.

The extremely high quality of good, healthy trout produced in an ecofriendly way has also resulted in the trout not only being in demand for Danish angling lakes. German angling lakes buy a considerable amount of Danish trout production.

Danish fish farming also to a great extent provides trout to be put out in Danish watercourses, in a close cooperation with local angling associations.
