Læsø Fiskesø
Calm island fishing in the heart of Læsø – a simple put-and-take lake where trout, big skies and quiet countryside set the pace for an unhurried day outdoors.
Tucked into the quiet countryside of Læsø near Byrum, Læsø Fiskesø is a relaxed put-and-take fishing lake where you can spend unrushed hours casting for trout in calm, sheltered surroundings. Simple shoreside facilities such as toilets and a cleaning table make it easy to prep your catch on site, while the rural setting delivers big skies, birdsong and a distinctly island pace.

Local tips
- Bring layered clothing and a windproof jacket; Læsø’s flat landscape means breezes can feel stronger by the open water, even on bright days.
- Pack your own drinks, snacks and a small chair or mat, as on-site facilities are basic and you may want to settle in for several hours.
- If you plan to cook your catch the same day, bring a cool box and ice packs so your cleaned fish stay fresh while you continue exploring Læsø.
- Families with children should choose an easily accessible stretch of bank with gentle slopes and set clear rules about keeping a safe distance from the water’s edge.
- Combine a morning or evening session here with coastal angling elsewhere on Læsø to experience both sheltered lake fishing and the island’s open seafront.

Getting There
-
Car from Vesterø Havn (ferry arrival)
From the ferry harbour at Vesterø, reaching Læsø Fiskesø by car typically takes 15–20 minutes as you cross the island’s interior on main local roads. Traffic is usually light, but speeds are modest and you may encounter tractors or cyclists. There is informal parking by the lake, and access is easiest with a standard car; no 4x4 is needed. Expect to spend only a small amount on fuel, as the distance is short and there are no tolls or parking charges here.
-
Car or taxi from Byrum
Byrum, Læsø’s central village, lies very close to the fishing lake, so the drive by car or local taxi generally takes around 5–10 minutes on quiet rural roads. This is the most convenient option if you are staying near the island’s administrative centre or doing errands there. A short taxi trip is usually affordable given the minimal distance, while fuel costs for a private car remain low. Parking by the water is on an unpaved area, so drive slowly in wet weather.
-
Bicycle from Byrum area
Læsø’s flat terrain and calm rural traffic make cycling a realistic way to reach the lake from accommodation in or near Byrum, with typical travel times of 15–25 minutes. Surfaces are a mix of paved and smaller local roads, generally manageable for standard city or touring bikes. This option is free once you have a bike, but remember you must be able to carry your fishing gear safely; a rear rack and panniers or a small trailer make the ride more comfortable and stable.

Island fishing in a tranquil rural setting
Læsø Fiskesø sits just outside Byrum in the middle of Læsø, surrounded by open fields, low hedges and the huge sky that defines this island in the Kattegat. The lake is a purpose-made put-and-take fishery, giving you the feeling of being out in nature without demanding deep local knowledge of coastal spots. Grassy banks and open shores mean you are never far from the water, and there is enough space to find your own stretch to cast from. The atmosphere is unhurried and peaceful. You hear the soft splash of trout rising, the wind moving through the grass and occasional calls of seabirds crossing overhead. On clear days the light can feel almost maritime even in the middle of the island, a reminder that the sea is never far away on Læsø.A simple, practical setup for anglers
The lake is designed with anglers in mind: access to the water is straightforward, and the open banks make it easy to cast whether you prefer spinning gear or light fly tackle. At the shoreline you will find a basic but very useful cleaning table where you can prepare your catch before heading back to your holiday home or campsite. Toilets on site mean you can comfortably spend several hours here, and simple parking by the lake allows you to bring along chairs, a small cool box or extra gear without much fuss. The overall feel is functional rather than fancy, but that is part of the appeal for visitors looking for a down-to-earth fishing spot.Part of Læsø’s wider fishing culture
Fishing is a big part of life on Læsø, from sea trout along the rocky coasts to commercial fishing boats supplying langoustine and other seafood. Læsø Fiskesø fits neatly into this culture as an easy inland option where you can focus purely on the experience of playing a fish rather than reading tides and currents. Families often use the lake as an introduction to angling for children, as stocked trout give a realistic chance of success and the banks are relatively easy to navigate. For more experienced anglers, the lake can be a relaxed alternative to braving wind and waves on the island’s outer shores.Seasons, weather and the island’s light
The lake can be fished in most seasons, with mild spring and autumn days offering comfortable temperatures and often lively trout. On bright summer evenings, the low northern light stretches across the water and you can watch rings spreading from rising fish long after dinner time. In cooler months, the air feels sharper and the landscape barer, but the quiet becomes even more pronounced. Because Læsø lies in a relatively dry part of Denmark, showers tend to pass quickly, and overcast days can provide pleasantly soft light for spotting movement on the surface. A light jacket, warm layers and something to sit on can make a long session at the lakeside more comfortable whenever you visit.Planning a leisurely visit
Læsø Fiskesø is well suited to a half-day outing, whether you devote the time to serious angling or simply combine a few hours of fishing with a picnic. The lack of urban noise and traffic adds to the sense of escape; you step out of the car and almost immediately feel the slower island rhythm. Many visitors time their visit between other Læsø experiences, such as exploring beaches, salt meadows or the island’s small villages. The central location near Byrum makes it easy to fit into a broader day of exploring while still allowing enough time to wait patiently for that telltale pull on the line.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
