Rodney,
Remember im a "mad fly fishing English man" :P so i fish all year round. Of course in December the weather is very cold here in Denmark but i have had some good results with the silver fish in December. You will just have to put up with the frozen ice rings and your " Man Tackle" shrinking away. :shock: The few fish that are around can be very big.
Well im off out fishing now...

December in Jutland? I thought people don't even come out of their houses during that time in that particular area. ;) Sea trout on the beach? :) We shall see, definitely interested if Nina permits. ;) Right now there are no specific plans for my stay. We will probably do some beach fishing trips around Copenhagen and hopefully some trips for pike and perch too.
Hi friends
Tanks for a very nice summit.
See you nxt year.

wasn't it that he was grabbed by is 'double haul' forward cast?
My experience as a class 1 guide, is the only fish that will come up for a fly that is hitched are the
earlier fish!. but then again these fish will also take dry fly's.If you want real success, in the earlier
fish, June, July& part of August, is to tie a buck bug of your choice,Carter Bug style, in a meduim
flow of current , holding the rod tip up a little so the fly is half submerged , & not riding up on the
surface .Thi makes a nice " Buldge " in the water.
Ripley is right.. Dont worry about having 100's of different flies to fish the coast. I use 3 patterns only. They are the simplist to tie and they catch fish. Ripley knows my rusty fly box so he can vouch that one. :)

Hey Rodney,
Some interesting points you mentioned on "netting" in your part of the world. Yes awareness needs to be adressed.
If your in Jutland in December feel free to contact me, maybe we could meet up for a bit of fishing and a chat. December is a very busy month for me at work but maybe we could work something out.
Keep in touch!
Steve
James,
You can find parachute cord in any Army surplus shop, either through the internet, or the one nearest you.
The website Steve provided is needed in my opinion. It is better to bring public awareness on a serious problem than hide what maybe a nation's disgrace. By getting more people aware of the issue, it brings solutions to the table. For a foreigner such as myself who fishes in Denmark several times per year, it's very informative and let us know what to do when illegal nets are encountered. Last summer while wading we came across one net completely submerged in the water. If I did not spot it before taking a few more steps, I would have tripped in the waist-deep water. At the time I wasn't sure if it was legal or not, but I'm pretty sure it is now after learning more about it.
What I find interesting is the fact that citizens can purchase licenses to net fish for personal usage (and sell?) in Denmark. In Canada, the fishery is divided into three sectors - Recreational, commercial and First Nations. Commercial fishing in Canada was heavy several decades ago but has dropped rapidly due to resource depletion. This is particularly apparently on the East Coast while the West Coast is beginning to experience the same trend and will continue if no actions are taken. The West Coast commercial fishery includes pacific salmon, halibut, groundfish (rockfish, lingcode) and sablefish (black cod). Illegal activities are not an issue in this fishery, but what is categorized legal by the government is not necessarily viewed as correct by the people. By-catch of vulnerable stocks, failure to meet spawner escapement are all part of the government's mismanagement.
Illegal fishing activities in this part of the world include poaching at night (white sturgeon), overfishing and illegal sale of salmon by First Nations, salmon poaching by recreational fishermen. We don't have small set gillnet problems by ordinary citizens, but we do have large drift nets that are used sometimes during closures by First Nations.
Anyway, that's just a brief summary. Illegal fishing happens throughout the world, it's definitely not bounded by nationality, culture, race.
[quote:873c96e4c3]PS. Great videos on the fishingwithrod site, is that Tryggevaelle river?? I fished there as a kid sometimes, dreaming about BC while working my cheap heawy Shakespeare glassfiber rod (but didn't catch any sea runs) .[/quote:873c96e4c3]
Yes, that is the Trygg. ;) I fish it pretty often whenever I am in Denmark since I mostly fish streams. There are three species that we usually target when fishing there - northern pike, perch and sea trout. We'll be back at it this December again, and mixing it up with some beach fishing too. ;)
I wish that I had found this site yesterday or earlier: it would have saved a lot of time spent in evading giving written instructions to a friend! I have nontheless now forwarded him the instructions from these pages some 24 hours after my hand written attempt!
Excellent site, a happy find! Thank you!
I use 20lb titanium single strand for pik eleaders. It is almost impossible to kink, is black and non-shiny and I think a little lighter than steel. Otherwhise I make my leaders as above but sometimes bend a ubend in the leadeer and tie on with an albright knot. Incidentally you can use figure 8 knots with titanium they never slip
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
