The pier at Arnager leading to a small fishing harbour. This is a way harbours are rarely constructed in Denmark. We had some great fishing on both sides of this pier.

One of the really important aspects of our Bornholm trips: the food. Not too little, not too bad - and not too much left when we're done!

Small sea trout, which has not spawned yet - often referred to as a Greenlander. These fish are extremely beautiful and well conditioned, but rarely weigh over 1½ kilos (3 lbs). This one took a large Grey Frede.

Jorgen in the surf. His fish is now calm, but the same cannot be said about the sea. he chooses to keep the fish and will drag it into the surf and land it on the beach.

Henning (left) and Jorgen each grabbing - Henning for lunch and Jorgen for his thermos in the back pocket in his wading jacket. The camouflaged car is Ken's bombed Toyota and the water in the background is very fishable.

Jorgen walking his trout. The water stays quite clear even in the surf thanks to the clean sand, the rocky bottom and good water environment.

Jorgen showing a typical winter fish as we saw them many times during our stay. The fish is a bit less than 1½ kilos (3 lbs), but should have been another kilo (two more lbs). This fish might have spawned, but could also just be skinny from the meager winter diet.

ken concentrated. Notice the easy handling, floating, yellow HT shooting line on the water.

Ken has caught a fish and plans to beach it between the rocks. If you plan on keeping a fish, this is a fine way to land it. If not, the fish must NEVER touch dry land or rocks!

Ken the fish killer in action. We took a few fish for the freezer during our stay, quickly killing them with a priest immediately after landing them.

Ken has a hookup in some excellent water with a bit of old waves, some dirt and quite a few fish.

A local ritual we have adapted. Rockets are fired - one for each fish caught that particular day. this year we needed more than one rocket!
