Gudenåen fishing competition to support salmon conservation

The Gudenå Association is hosting the traditional Gudenå Competition on September 18 and 19, 2026. The 24-hour event will take place along the Gudenå river, Denmark’s longest waterway, with Bamsebo Camping serving as the central hub.

Beyond the fishing competition, the event aims to raise awareness for the river's unique nature and support the Gudenå Association financially. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Danish Center for Wild Salmon to fund salmon releases, which are vital for local salmon fishing.

The program includes community activities such as communal dining, lotteries, and prize ceremonies scheduled to conclude on Saturday afternoon.
