Sæby betegnes som en rent lysfisker paradis - her er gode fiskemuligheder langs stranden både nord og syd for Sæby havn.
Du kan også fiske fra byens mole - endnu en mulighed for at få aftensmaden med hjem.
Om det er tidlig morgen, eftermiddag eller sen aften, findes der næsten ingen ro, som den der sænker sig over en lystfisker, der har kastet snøren ud, og nu bare venter på at det rykker i linjen med budskab om, at der er bid.
Så gør som de synger i den gamle danske sang - 'træk en gammel sweater på og ta' med ud og fisk'
Whether you are on foot, by bike, mountain bike or prefer a relaxing canoe trip on the Voer river, you have come to the right destination when you visit Sæby and the surrounding area.
