The preparation is almost finished

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

I thought that I would start a new thread here as I did not want to hijack the "long life to GFF" thread and turn it into "Where should Rodney fish?" thread. :) Anyways, I'm hopping on Lufthansa in two days from now and should be in Valby by Friday afternoon.

I just packed the rods, and the decision was tough. I laid my 4wt, 6wt and 8wt out, and tried to decide which ones to bring, or bring them all. At the end I chose the 6 and 8wt as I am most likely not doing too much grayling or brown trout fishing in streams due to time limitation. I am limited to two fly rods as I am also bringing some spinning rods for my girlfriend Nina.

Ripley and Michael, thank you for your kind suggestions and offers, I really appreciate the feedbacks. My plan is uncertain, right now I have two definite trips planned out. We're spending four nights on Bornholm during the last week of May, and we'll do a road trip to Jutland in the second week of June. During our Jutland road trip, we'll be visiting and fishing with a friend as well as hopefully meeting up with Martin as it turns out we have a mutual friend. :)

During the rest of my stay, I will fish at various lakes around Zealand, hopefully explore some beaches for garfish and sea trout, as well as making some trips to Tryggevælde Å.

So I was looking at the "An Explosive Evening" thread and listening to Martin's latest podcast, that's rather exciting! It sounds like the sea trout fishing lately on the beach has been excellent? So which area around Zealand should I take a look if I want to do a bit of beach fishing for garfish and sea trout? My flyfishing skill is fairly elementary by the way, because most of my fishing done in British Columbia has been lure and float fishing. The casting distance is still being worked on, hopefully that isn't too much of a disadvantage on the beach. :?

Cheers all, expect updates. :)

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.
