Wind, spring

Danish inshore fishing

By Martin Joergensen

<<< Winter | Summer >>>

In the spring the near shore water will heat up due to sunshine and warmer air. This water will attract trout that will feed in shallow areas. If the wind blows away from the shore, the newly warmed water will blow out and colder water from the deeper parts of the sea will be drawn in. As long as the shallow water is warmer, the food organisms will be active and attract trout.
When temperatures fall, activity halts and the trout will move. In the early spring when the temperaturs are really low, temperature drops can also mean that the fish will have problems with its osmotic regulation.

Conclusion: Light on shore wind is generally best in the spring.

Fill-the-box

"I have severely neglected my day-to-day flybox for more than a year" writes GFF partner Martin Joergensen. Now he sets out to fill a box with hundreds of sea trout flies in preparation for the coming spring. He envisions rows of uniform and neatly arranged flies.

Boney Flies

Crazy Charlie, Bonefish Bitters, Bonefish CDC&Elk and more. Some of these bonefish flies are well known, some are close to unknown, but they can all catch bonefish. Martin Joergensen has selected a few and tells the story.

Bornholm 2006

GFF partner Martin Joergensen's annual trip to Bornholm! A highlight in his fishing calendar and always a great trip no matter how lousy the fishing is. This year fishing was fine and the trip a success in spite of troublesome wind and a late and cold spring.

Winter

In the real cold winter, the trout has to seek freshwater because it can't tolerate salt due to difficulties with osmotic regulation. Hence the fish are found in streams, estuaries and brackish fjords. For the salt water fisher, the fjords and shallow waters can offer good fishing in the winter.

Autumn

Autumn is ideal for catching top condition fish, mornings, days and evenings. The fish are typically stuffed with the smallest animals, and small brown/gray flies are therefore best.
