Spring May 1. 1995 All kinds The spring means activity in the Baltic where the winter fish start eating and the spawning fish return from the streams to the oceans	Autumn May 1. 1995 Top condition Autumn in the Baltic is ideal for catching top condition sea run brown trout, mornings, days and evenings.	Winter May 1. 1995 Salt tolerance Fishing for sea run brown trout in the Baltic during the cold months
Tackle May 1. 1995 7-8 wt. is ideal Most Danes fish 7-8 wt. rods and lines. And most use a weight forward floating (WF-F) line or a shooting head. Expect that fairly long casts under difficult (that's mostly windy) conditions can save a day. All salt water flyfishing is done wading, and both waders and warm clothes for almost all seasons are essential.	Flies May 1. 1995 Simple Patterns Most of my flies are relatively simple patterns. The danish salt water fly-fishing demands flies in a lot of categories. Sometimes you can fish a location where the water is crystal clear and the surface is as a mirror, and sometimes exactly the same location is marred by hard wind, heavy waves and water as hot chocolate with marshmellows (yuck!).	Strategy May 1. 1995 Use landmarks "Points" are generally good landmarks to use as a base for the fishing. Not that there are necessarily more fish there, but as they make good mental holding points. Points are good spots to start fishing and from these landmarks you can make 'excursions'
Tactics May 1. 1995 Use the right tactics A few tips of efficiently covering the water when fishing for Baltic sea trout	Proper conduct May 1. 1995 Be considerate There are laws and written rules, but for the benefit of all of us, there are some unwritten common sense and social rules too:	Rules & regulations May 1. 1995 Licensing and rules There are laws in Denmark too, and some of the deal with fishing. The most important ones are these
On coloured fish May 1. 1995 Color When the sea trout is in salt water it's normally 'uncolored' meaning shining silvery with a bluish black back. Also the scales are normally many, but loose, and will fall off when the fish is touched. The fish is in an excellent condition, as it is eating all the time.	Map of Denmark May 1. 1995 This is Denmark Just for your general orientation I've marked out a few good fishing spots.	Art flies \| fly art Apr 20. 1995 Manipulation There are a couple of new pictures in this section. I have once again experimented with the unknown and hidden beauty in the flies and materials that we use - aspects that can be brought out through computer manipulation.
Fishing Denmark Apr 20. 1995 DK An introduction to fishing on the Danish coast.	Flytyers Masterclass Apr 20. 1995 Book review When you take into consideration the size and volume of this book: large format and app. 250 pages, and the fact that it 'only' deals with 20 flies, it should be obvious that each fly is described in minute details. And it sure is.	A portable fly tying kit Apr 10. 1995 In the most simplistic terms, a flytying kit must only have the tools and materials necessary to tie the flies you may use on a single trip or a single river. However, like most of us, a travelling flytying kit consumes more space than 26 high-schoolers crammed in a Volkswagen Beetle.
Micropatterns Apr 5. 1995 Book review With this book you get your moneys worth in weight. The book is a large format book with more than 300 pages. The size alone can make this book a bit scary, and innocent flytyers who leaf through it, will probably be intimidated by the huge volume of information.	The art of the trout fly Apr 2. 1995 Book review Seriously. This is a book that I like just to touch. The print renders the photos in an excellent quality, and leaves the reader with a feeling that the flies are as textured, translucent and subtle as they actually are.	How it started Apr 1. 1995 History A short story about the book review section. Read it here
