Yellow Skjern Zonker

The trophy for most salmon fishermen is the spring salmon. It comes fresh from the sea and is in absolute top condition, and brilliantly silvershiny - a true dream-trophy. The first salmon to return back to the rivers and streams are usually also the largest, but unfortunately there are usually only quite a few salmon at the start of the season, but nothing is better than the pull of the line and the appearance of a silver shining springer salmon – the stuff we dream of and what drives us to the river again and again. A color that has proven effective for these early salmon here in Scandinavia must be yellowish shades, preferably with a slightly "dirty" look. We have once again had the skilled Danish salmon fisherman and fly tyer Casper Hansen in the studio, where he ties his favorite fly to the earliest salmon. Casper himself says about the fly: “this is my absolute favorite fly for the spring fishing in Denmark, and I have added rubberlegs for extra movement. Because here in Denmark with the slowly running rivers, we have to work the fly a lot while fishing. But this pattern can for sure provoke the early springers to take the fly – please give it a try”.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

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.
