Danish inshore fishing

The wind has a strong influence on the behavior of the water, its temperature and the activity of food organisms and trout. The following illustrations all show the situation when a wind is blowing off shore in the four seasons, and show how water will be moved and affect the temperature.

Onshore wind
On shore wind will rarely have the same influence as offshore wind because the wind will only stir the near shore water and not move it very much. Stronger wind might move in surface water from further out towards the coast, but as this surface water will often be the same temperature as the near shore surface water, the overall effect on temperature is relatively small.
But... and there's a big but, onshore wind will stir the shallow water and bring lots of food and debris in suspension. This makes the water unclear and full of food and can mean ideal conditions for hunting fish.
Most fishers will prefer offshore winds which normally means wind in the back, but some people routinely choose onshore wind - and catch a lot of fish.

38 Deg.C = 100 Deg.F

The formula for converting between the two is

Deg.F=(9/5*Deg.C)+32

or

Deg.C=(5/9*(Deg.F-32))

The optimum temperature for trout is between 9 and 12 deg. Centigrade.

A few random articles for your entertainment DIY Epoxy Rotor If you tie a lot of epoxy flies and have been glancing in the direction of the nice but expensive epoxy rotors in the local flyshop, you may want to consider building your own out of some scraps and a disco mirror ball motor. March 17th 2005 How simple can it get? Tying instructions? Materials list?! You must be kidding me! The list is close to being an insult and it is almost ridiculous to tell you how to create this fly in more than a sentence. This little saltwater fly is soooo simple. May 30th 2005 Mel Kriegers Patagonia - 40 years fly fishing in Argentina The first words spoken on this DVD are: ”Every so often in life comes a person that is one step above the rest...” and ”Not just any mortal...”. Martin Joergensen would have thought twice before he introduced anybody in angling with words like those - even Mel Krieger. June 10th 2007 Cheap Lazy Bastard Named the Cheap Lazy Bastard because the originator, Joe Kissane, uses cheap materials whenever possible, takes shortcuts (because he's lazy) and the fly is a bastard – the original pattern mated illicitly with the body of any number of famous nymphs.
