Need translation from Danish to English

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, we have checked the fishing maps here ( http://fredning.fd.dk/ ) and on some very interesting spots, some restrictions and limitations are applied. Unfortunately I do not understand Danish, so would be anybody so kind and could help? Is it possible to translete this?

Fredningsperiode:
16. september - 15. januar

Does it mean that fishing is restricted in this period?

Is there any map with all the restrictions and areas where the fishing is forbiden?

I have got the book 117 best spots on Fyn, so we would appreciate something similar for other parts of Denmark. Internet version would be the best.

thanks a lot

Pike,

If you are talking sea trout, which I guess you are, there is a restriction on the fishing between September 16th and January 15th. But the restriction is simply that you have to release any colored fish you catch - meaning pre or post spawn fish.
The silver fish you can keep, and if you fish catch and release you can fish as much as you want. Small fish under 40 centimeters are always protected and must be released.

Please also notice that some estuaries are closed in the same period (stream mouth and a 500 meter radius) and some are closed all year. These are probably all marked on your maps.

Martin

Martin, thanks. You are absolutly right, I am really interested in sea trouts.

So according to your explanations, the below mentioned limitations mean:

Fredningsperiode:
Helårligt
- fishing is forbiden all the year in marked area (radius)

and

Fredningsperiode:
16. september - 15. januar
- fishing is permited all year, but all coloured fish caught in the mentioned period must be released.

I have problem with danish words Helårligt and Frednings :-) Periode would be probably the same as english period\ :-)

Thanks a lot

Pike

You understand Danish! Great!

Yes, Fredningsperiode is protected period.
Helårligt is all year.

And yes, the rule goes for colored fish in the protection period and fishing in and near the estuaries in the protected period for certain streams and all year for other streams - typically the larger ones.

Hope this clears things up.

Martin

Martin, it's absolutly clear now.

Thanks for your reply.

BTW: During first half of March, a lot of flies from your site will be tested in waters of Denmark :-)

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.
