Winter euro perch again in DK! Where?

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

I am once again in Denmark, but Martin's latest blog entry is not something I wanted to read on my first day! :lol: Anyway, last year I posted [url=http://globalflyfisher.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=192&sid=0ede028e1c2021… for perch[/url] and the responses on technique and fly patterns were very helpful. Thanks once to those who contributed. Beside targeting sea trout in some of the planned future outings, I want to fish for these spiny critters again, simply because I think they are quite interesting to look at. The last couple of seasons we've focused mainly on fishing at Tryggevaelle River, so I would like to give some other waters a try this year. Anyone wants to recommend a lake/slough/river/brackish water around Eastern Denmark?

For those who are interested in an update from BC, Canada. We had a fantastic fall salmon season this year, especially on the coho salmon. My girlfriend Nina came over in early November and caught her first ever coho salmon, and it just happened to be one of the biggest coho salmon that I have ever seen. It will be very hard to beat this one in the rest of her fishing days. :wink:

Some other photos that I really like from the last three months.

Actually Tryggen is probably way better for perch than a lot of other places you can go. Another shot could be one on the salty inlakes or fjords such as Karrebaeksminde Fjord or Praestoe Fjord. But you will need a boat to fish them as well as any lake you might fancy.

I would be pleased to join you wherever if I have the time for it.

Sounds good Martin. Nina and I are going tomorrow. ;) I'm up for it anyday really, since I am working mostly night-time here (daytime in Vancouver). I think Vanuz would like to go too after our outing last December. :) Anyway, we'll report back tomorrow if there are some catches.

Hi Rod, sure I´ll come and give it a try - as soon as I get over my lazy period that I have had for last few weeks :) Grey, grey, grey weather, no signs of fish... :x

Let's hear how you did.

I went by the St. Vejl Aa today and there were hordes of anglers fishing for perch with bait - and obviously catching as many as they wanted... I watched for 10 minutes and one couple of guys had a take every minute or two. Not big fish, but a lot of them. Buth there were probably more than 20 anglers fishing right by the sluice that opens the stream into the salt. Too many for my taste:

Well... No one at Trygg today, and apparently no fish too. :lol: :roll: The weather was pretty nice! Sunny, somewhat mild, and CALM! Anyway, no taps on the flies, a ambitious northern pike decided that my small spinner was good enough to eat, but I managed to long-line release it after horsing it out of the weeds. I then managed to foul-hook a poor bream, thinking that it was my biggest pike on the line. :lol: Water was flowing quite fast downstream compared to other times we've been there.

We went over to St. Vejl Aa once last winter and Nina didn't like it that much, mostly because of the crowding. I am not so fond of livebait fishing, used to do it in Australia but find it kind of a waste especially if it is a catch and release fishery.

Anyway, the weather looks good for the entire coming week. I'm available to go with a couple of days notice. ;) email me at info@fishingwithrod.com

- one should really be lucky to get booked into this crowd on weekends (yep, you need booking, unless not a member of the local fishing club). Nevertheless, I also found that place off my interest.

- well, I´ll be working all week long, but the week& is open and free. Only interested in perch?

Oops, I forgot that normal people work on weekdays. :lol: Sea trout on the beach would be fun too, but all we fish for back home are salmonids so some other spiny ray species are always interesting to catch instead when I go away somewhere. ;) I find that you really have to be an optimist to fish for sea trout here. Yesterday we spent five hours up and down the Southern Zealand coast with no fish to show, plus a very leaky pair of waders. :cry:

Lovely day and coast for photos though.

Perhaps we should pan out a date for an outing to Trygg River? My suggestion would be December 22nd, 27th, or 28th. :)

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.
