Martin Jorgensen's site about fly fishing and fly tying


Danish inshore fishing

By Martin Joergensen

This is a bit of what a very old site called Fishing Denmark used to look like. All the articles from that has been kept here, and you can find them by surfing or searching the site. But they do look a lot different now.

Ben,

I'd suggest looking into places in Jutland - the peninsula north of Germany. The central and eastern part offers all types of fishing - stream, lake and ocean - within short distances. The areas around Silkeborg, Skanderborg and Horsens will be good for you as a fly fisherman and close by Aarhus, which is a larger town.

You can fly into Billund and have a short drive or into Copenhagen and have more miles to cover to get there.

Hi Martin,

I will be visiting Denmark next summer, probably in August. My family and I will likely rent a summer house. Do you have any suggestions as to a particular town to stay in to put me into the best fly fishing water? I fish both fresh and saltwater. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Ben Winkler

Hello: I am visiting Bornholm 4th week in June and in Jutland for a couple weeks after that. Any ideas of where I can fish or any contacts I could have? I am an experienced flyfishing guide from Canada and would appreciate advice. Would certainly return the favour to Danes who want to fish western Canada. John

Jacob,
The entire North coast of Sjælland is available by bus, train or train/bike. It is a very good area in spring and fall. I used to fish it 'by train' when I lived in Copenhagen. Good starting points and easy to reach by train would be Gilleleje og Tisvildeleje. Use Google Earth to find the hotspots around those two towns - look for darker areas close to the shore. Another option is contact Copenhagen Fly Casting Club at CFCC.dk. I am quite sure that one of the members would love to take you out.

Hello Martin

My name is Jacob and I am 21 yrs old and am currently on exchange studying Architecture from Tasmania, Australia. I have fished at home for about 5yrs or so (browns & rainbows), and since coming here I am having withdrawals. I have no car, and was wondering if there was anywhere near to Copenhagen (where i am staying) that could be accessed by train & bicycle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I feel as if I am stabbing in the dark.

Thanks
Jacob

FF@ got crazy after 1995--too many people and posts. You can still search through the posts by year at http://jdunns.dyndns.org/flyfishq.html in case you're looking for more bad, bad flyfishing haiku. In case you forgot, it was in 1995. =)

My favorite, it's haunted me for years:
'bacco spit dribbles
Whilst clutching his netted prey
It's a brown trout now.

Mike,

1994 and 1996, huh? A lot of water has run under the bridge since then. I was into ff@ too back then. Haven't been on the list for ages and sometimes wonder how it's doing. Probably much the same I guess.

Fishing Denmark still criss-crosses GFF and traces can be found everywhere.

And we're glad to have you back! :-)

Hi Martin

I used to get flyfish@ back in 1994 when things were new and people were just starting to get into the whole web browsing thing. In 1996, I was living in Germany and I used to spend hours looking at Fishing Denmark. I'm glad I found you again. =)

Cheers
--Mike

The Magnus

Classic: Magnus is a 'classic' on the Danish coast. This small anonymous fly and its very similar brothers the Frede, Sandshrimp and many others, are probably the most catching flies on the coasts of Denmark. The eyes and the palmer hackle are the prime characteristics of the Magnus, which is mostly used in clear water. Go to the story

Adventurous rod

Review: This book is a paradox. Not because of the content, which is both beautiful and fascinating, but because of the circumstances around it. The author fished 45 countries and states in 10 years, and this is the book about that adventure.
