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.

For those not knowing: the locations are coastal spots in Denmark.

Olle,

Udsholdt is a very nice place to fish - quite popular and sometimes crowded, but with fine conditions when the wind isn't on.

Right now it's getting really warm here, and I would recommend trying early mornings and evenings. Sunrise and sunset is your best bet for sea trout. There might still be a few garfish around, but most have gone now. If you walk along the beach in dayight, don't forget to watch out for mullet. We haven't really seen any yet, but any day now...

And remember to look before you wade. In the morning you will sometimes have fish all into the shallow water close to the beach. Walk along the beach and keep an eye on the water. These fish will often show themselves.

If the wind turns west or any northern direction, don't bother. The northern beaches will become dirty very quickly and stay so for days after hard winds.

Good luck!

Should your run into mullets, leave a note. I looks like my last fishing season in Denmark,
I´d be glad to hook at least one :cry:

@ martin

thanks for the sunset hours tip, you were so right. Caught my first three seatrout and a garfish in just a few hours fishing. I wrote some words about it but it is in dutch so for the dutch people here, it s on www.vliegvissers.nl

@ vanuz

Sorry m8 did look for mullets for you (and myself ofcourse) but didn't see any. When i was walking in the harbour of Gilleleje at dinner time i thought i saw a mullet but id turnd out to be a rather large seatrout :). Some locals told me also they should be there any day now.

...glad you were lucky to hook some fish. There´s many regular Gilleleje visitors trying luck for days without even seeing a single splash!
I´ll check the beach tomorrow, anyone want to join? :lol:

Arrived at 4 a.m., probably too late as the sun was just about to rise. Zero trip, but a lovely morning, though.

...cannot access the page

Well, ... extremely difficult to guess the spot you fished, there´s only the sea and the sun... It could have been anywhere. But good pics, though.
The "soup" was pretty muddy when I got there, visibility less than 30 cm... :?

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.
