Fishing Denmark

An introduction to fishing on the Danish coast.

This is a bit of what a very old site called Fishing Denmark used to look like. The links in the text below may not work, but all the articles from that has been kept here, and you can find them by surfing or searching the site. But they do look a lot different now.

BIG,

Both Riskov and the area outside Marselis Skov are well known and popular coastal locations in Aarhus. You can definitely fish there with confidence. And consider traveling by bus. Aarhus - as most Danish cities - has an excellent public transportation system, which can bring you quite close to good fishing water.

Also consider visiting the tackle shops in town and ask. Dragefisken or Stefs Lystfiskergrej are two options. Look up their addresses on the web.

Hello Martin.

I am studying in Aarhus and wondered where is good for coastal fishing. Should i swing down past the hotel marsaille or out riskov way. I only have a push bike and recent injury prevents me cycling more than 45 minutes.

Hope you can help

Hello, Martin
Where is the best tent sites or campgrounds nearby beaches for searun seatrout in fyn and what time of the year will be the best for big searuns there? Can I take the train from Copenhagen Airport to Odense then a bus to the campgrounds near the beaches?
Thanks, Matt

Ben,

I'd suggest looking into places in Jutland - the peninsula north of Germany. The central and eastern part offers all types of fishing - stream, lake and ocean - within short distances. The areas around Silkeborg, Skanderborg and Horsens will be good for you as a fly fisherman and close by Aarhus, which is a larger town.

You can fly into Billund and have a short drive or into Copenhagen and have more miles to cover to get there.

Hi Martin,

I will be visiting Denmark next summer, probably in August. My family and I will likely rent a summer house. Do you have any suggestions as to a particular town to stay in to put me into the best fly fishing water? I fish both fresh and saltwater. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Ben Winkler

Hello: I am visiting Bornholm 4th week in June and in Jutland for a couple weeks after that. Any ideas of where I can fish or any contacts I could have? I am an experienced flyfishing guide from Canada and would appreciate advice. Would certainly return the favour to Danes who want to fish western Canada. John

Jacob,
The entire North coast of Sjælland is available by bus, train or train/bike. It is a very good area in spring and fall. I used to fish it 'by train' when I lived in Copenhagen. Good starting points and easy to reach by train would be Gilleleje og Tisvildeleje. Use Google Earth to find the hotspots around those two towns - look for darker areas close to the shore. Another option is contact Copenhagen Fly Casting Club at CFCC.dk. I am quite sure that one of the members would love to take you out.

Hello Martin

My name is Jacob and I am 21 yrs old and am currently on exchange studying Architecture from Tasmania, Australia. I have fished at home for about 5yrs or so (browns & rainbows), and since coming here I am having withdrawals. I have no car, and was wondering if there was anywhere near to Copenhagen (where i am staying) that could be accessed by train & bicycle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I feel as if I am stabbing in the dark.

Thanks
Jacob

FF@ got crazy after 1995--too many people and posts. You can still search through the posts by year at http://jdunns.dyndns.org/flyfishq.html in case you're looking for more bad, bad flyfishing haiku. In case you forgot, it was in 1995. =)

My favorite, it's haunted me for years:
'bacco spit dribbles
Whilst clutching his netted prey
It's a brown trout now.

Mike,

1994 and 1996, huh? A lot of water has run under the bridge since then. I was into ff@ too back then. Haven't been on the list for ages and sometimes wonder how it's doing. Probably much the same I guess.

Fishing Denmark still criss-crosses GFF and traces can be found everywhere.

And we're glad to have you back! :-)

Martin

Hi Martin

I used to get flyfish@ back in 1994 when things were new and people were just starting to get into the whole web browsing thing. In 1996, I was living in Germany and I used to spend hours looking at Fishing Denmark. I'm glad I found you again. =)

Cheers
--Mike

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 has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
