Fyn trip 20-27 september...

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 form 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. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

Hi guys,

Last week me and 3 friends visited the beautifull island Fyn to fish for seatrout. We had sunny weather all week, except for monday (rain) and friday when it was fogged over most of the day. We fished the north of Fyn mostly; Enebaerodde, Egebjerggard, Lango and Sabbes Borre. We fished Knudshoved and Gals Kint also. The fishing was hard going; 2 of my friends caught a seatrout each on sunday. I caught 3 on wednesday and my friend caught 1. On friday one of the guys caught 1 and another caught. We mainly fished smallish gray/brown flies. The most succesfull was a Juletræet Zonker variant. My friend who caught 6 fished a yellow Tasmanian Devil that day.

Did we fished the right places? How long do you stay on 1 spot? What are the best times of day to fish in this period? What are the right flies? Do we have to try later in the year next time?

I;m planning a trip by my self in march 2009 and the 4 of us will be back in the autum!

Tight lines,

Well, no-one can answer the above with any degree of accuracy. You'll just be running in circles and confusing a very simple question.
What was wrong with the amount of trout you caught or method you used or time you were here. You caught fish didn't you?
I fail to see the problem.

Here are my answers, and I apologise for the abrubt answers. You asked many questions but also gave the answers to your questions in your posting.

1. Are there any wrong places?

2. Depends on how long you want to stay?

3. All day.

4. The one in the water and moving.

5. Why?

Rip

Hi Rip,

Thanx for your reply.
I know that very little certaities are part of fishing... :wink: But I'm always trying to analyse my fishing...
It's just that I'm only fishing for seatrout 2 weeks a year and maybe missed something obvious that more experienced guys see immediately... Like fish there or don't fish there with the mainly north-easterly winds of last week...
We had a wonderfull trip and I'm certainly not dissapointed or something. And I know that we didn't do bad at all! I just love flyfishing for seatrout in the salt and always want to improve!

Regards,

Folk

Since you got this far …


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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
