This jewel in the Danish South Sea offers anglers almost everything their heart desires, from spectacular scenery to a variety of fish species. Here is a comprehensive guide that shows you why Mön is a paradise for anglers and how you can swing your fishing rod there.
Introduction: Why Mön?
Mön, often referred to as the “little sister” of the German island of Rügen, shares its impressive chalk coastline and also offers unique fishing opportunities. Whether you’re after sea trout, pike, perch or herring, Mön will make your angler’s heart beat faster.
Sea trout: The silver bars of the Baltic Sea
Fishing on the cliffs of Mön is considered one of the most spectacular fishing adventures in Europe. The coastal waters are a paradise for sea trout, which can be found particularly on the chalk coast around the 128-meter-high Møns Klint. Thanks to the low salt content of the water, you can fish successfully for sea trout all year round.
The best fishing spots for sea trout:
- Møns Fyr: One of the best spots with deep water and a rocky bottom. Ideal in light winds.
- Store Klint: Known for its impressive scenery and the chance of catching cod alongside the sea trout.
- Jydelejet (half-moon reef): A somewhat remote spot, but one that rewards you with beautiful sea trout.
Brackish water predators: pike and perch
In addition to sea trout, Mön offers excellent conditions for fishing for pike and perch, especially in Stege Nor, a brackish water lake in the heart of the island. The shallow water zones are ideal for fly fishermen who want to fish for pike. Note that strict catch & release applies for pike.
Other exciting fishing spots:
- Stege Havn and Stege Nor: Perfect for street fishing and known for large pike and perch.
- Klintholm Havn: Known for good perch catches, especially in the boat marina area.
