Easy access to new fishing spots
If the wind is off in one place, you can quickly find a different spot with shelter and clear water somewhere else on the island.
As there is good access to the coast all around the island, it is easy to find a good, secluded spot to fish from, whether you are into fly fishing or spin fishing.

The fisherman says...
Per, a passionate angler and fishing guide, talks about the coast on Ærø:
The winter months in particular are unique on Ærø, as the sea trout flock around the island due to the low salinity of the water. You won't find more beautiful coastlines anywhere else!
