>what are the problems?costs, permits, and availability
you can't buy one or two or three permits/tickets and fish wherever you want.
nothern germany and east germany is not that bad.
but west and southern germany... oh well....
you have to differentiate between rivers and lakes.
in southern germany, austria and swiss rivers are leased in sections to clubs. rivers are owned by the big energy companies, farmers and the state governments
these clubs then sell a contingent of tickets to their members and guests.
trick to that is that they usually don't even give out enough permits for all of their members.
so you need connections or get lucky (basically be useful to your club. make a website for free, build the board members a garage, etc.)
with that permit you are allowed to fish a SMALL section of the river. 1-5km.
if you want to fish other spots you need to buy a new permit of a other club. (there are working hours for a club. usually you need to carry out 20 hours of work per year for a club. But you can pay a fee for not doing it)
Lakes are easier.
These are typically owned by the government and there is a law that people have a right to use lakes above a certain size. (but they can still demand money for entry, fishing, boating, etc.)
But you get for almost every bigger lake a permit pretty easy and cheap (10-25€ per day)
so germany is not really fun to fish.
if you think about it
you can get a permit for ~50€ in the netherlands and get almost 90%+ of all rivers and lakes.
same in your country, Denmark.
that is why so many germans are driving to denmark or netherland for fishing.
