What Am I Allowed to Fish For?
You are only permitted to fish for carp. Fishing for any other species is not allowed. Carp fishing is ONLY PERMITTED using tackle that complies with LykkeSø’s regulations. If these rules are not followed, you will be asked to leave the lake, and your payment will not be refunded.
Proper cradle, landing net, and weigh sling must be used when handling our carp – unhooking mats are NOT allowed for handling carp on land.

Pets at the Lake
Dogs are allowed on fishing trips, but they MUST ALWAYS be kept on a leash, no matter how well-behaved they are. This also applies if you’re just taking a walk around the lake.

Disinfection of Gear
All gear must be disinfected in our information house, as shown in the picture above. Disinfection using Virkon S is not harmful to your gear.
Disinfection must be done every time you fish at LykkeSø – even if you were here the day before. If you’ve got new gear, such as new line on your reel or a new net, this must also be disinfected before use. There are no exceptions – all personal gear must be disinfected before use.The info house is under video surveillance. We monitor whether all visitors disinfect their gear according to our rules.
Gear to disinfect: Personal cradle, carp net, weigh sling, and the spool on your reels (just remove the spool and dip it – do not dip the whole reel).
If you borrow equipment from LykkeSø (cradle, net, weigh sling), this does not need to be disinfected.

Borrowing Gear in the Future
If you borrow gear, you are responsible for returning it to the designated loan area. If you pass the gear on to someone else (e.g. someone fishing after you at the same spot), you are still liable if it is not returned.
Yes, it’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s the only way we can ensure our gear doesn’t disappear. We hope for your understanding and cooperation.
Note: If the gear goes missing, the person who originally borrowed it is responsible for replacing it.

Loading/Unloading Gear – Trolleys
Driving past our gates with your car is not allowed, even if it’s technically possible in some places. Please remember and respect this.
We’ve provided two trolleys that are free to use for transporting your gear to and from your fishing spot at LykkeSø. These trolleys must not be removed from the LykkeSø area. When you’re done using a trolley, please return it to the loan point so others can use it too.

Boat Use at the Lake
The boat may only be used if you have a carp on the hook that has gotten snagged – take the time to free everything properly so we don’t lose the carp.
The same applies if your rig is stuck without a fish on.

Any other use of the boat is not allowed.
Please remember to show consideration for others around the lake and respect that they are also fishing.

Parking
Please remember to park in a way that allows space for others in the parking area. You’re allowed to drive up to the gate to unload gear, but you must then drive back and park. We have both a small and large parking area – both are under 24/7/365 surveillance.

Drone Flying
Drone flying is allowed only if other anglers at the lake have given their permission.
All general drone regulations must be followed.
Please respect others’ privacy around the lake.

Grilling and Bonfires at LykkeSø
Grilling is allowed at LykkeSø. The grills by the lake are free to use – just remember to clean them after use.
You are also welcome to bring your own grill.
Bonfires are only allowed on the south side of the lake, at the shelter area.
Any official fire/grill restrictions issued by authorities must always be followed.

LykkeSø is under 24/7/365 video surveillance
Surveillance is in place to prevent theft, vandalism, and to ensure that gear is disinfected before fishing.
Cameras with night vision and motion sensors are installed. The following areas are monitored: all entrances to LykkeSø, the shelters, the information house, the equipment loan area, parking areas, gates around the lake, and all fishing spots.

There is zero tolerance for violating the rules
