Wiggy.

No areas in Denmark can in any way be called commercialized.

Fyn might have more tourists fishing due to central placement (in Denmark) and easy access (especially from Germany) and massive marketing, but in general you will be able to find kilometer after kilometer of excellent and undisturbed water.
Stay off the most well known and often crowded spots like Fyns Hoved, Stavrs Hoved, most of Langeland and several other "hot spots" and seek out your own places mainly by walking. There is a lot of really nice and "unknown" stretches all around the island.

I only have little experience with Limfjorden. Good fishing can be had up there, but I have been fishing there a couple of times with little luck even though it looked very nice. But it's close to you (short drive) and has a ton of really undisturbed water, and I'll bet you some great fishing can be had in the area and you are destined to have almost all spots to yourself since few Danes and almost no tourists fish this fairly remote area.

Samsø is fantastic and definitely worth visiting. It's closer to you than Bornholm, but still a much longer drive and a ferry away. But the island is beautiful, very varied and with some really good fishing. I have been there and it really is a nice place with a lot of good places to fish. Crowds are limited due to the traveling distance.

Hope this helps you.

In english the term for a rope making factory is "cordage." Thank you for authoring what is a true seed article on furling leaders.

Odd-Julian,

If you mean "trout fly" (I guess throut is a typo) then the reply is yes, Fleye Foils can be used for any fly that's supposed to look like a small fish. Lots of trout have been caught on flies tied with Fleye Foils.

Was on your web-side and find this "Fleye Foils" which can be tied in different type of fly( sand a.s.o. ).
My question is, can this Fleys Foils also be used for tying throut fly.

Thanks for your replies so far.

The only thing that I'm reserved towards, is that Fyn is very commercialised. Lots of fishers and overrated due to clever marketing and media exposure?!

I've been doing a lot of research on my own on both norwegian and danish websites/forums, and I have come up with a couple of alternatives. Limfjorden seems to be able to offer alot of varied fishing environments plus good fishing and samsø like a mini bornholm, but just as far to travel.

What are your thoughts around these two?

Must say that this fly is the best !!! I found it at Bornholm 2005 , and have fished it since then. Here at Åland nearly all locals use that fly today! Tight lines! Niclas

Martin,
Don't forget the extremely thin stainless steel tubes from Grays of Kilsyth. They can be used to design some very interesting flies and are unlike many other products on the market. I like them.

Wiggy,

I can only agree with Florian. Fyn (Funen) is a good bet, and western Fyn will allow you to fish both the north, west and south coasts of Fyn and have easy access to the eastern part of Jylland (Jutland).

There are lots of good locations and a ton of information to be had from shops, books and even onlne.

Here's a link with an online map and an excellent book with Fyn fishing spots. http://www.seatrout.dk/nc/english/fishing-spots.html

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
