Current Report
Such is life. The weather
just lately has reminded me
of my girlfriend’s moods.
Ever changing. Just when the
sea temperatures seem to
fall, along comes another
few cloudless skies to warm
things up. The wind has
blown from every direction
and always seems to sense
where I am throwing the fly
around, and blows directly
in my face with force. I
tell you, it’s all a
conspiracy!
Despite a few teething
problems with numerous
projects and general chores,
finally, I got into the
water this week with some
pleasing and promising
results. Regardless of a
technical hitch with my
reel, I managed to overcome
the frustration with help
from Jack Daniel’s.
As at this morning, the sea
temperatures are around 16oC
in most places around the
Danish coast and catches are
looking good for all regions
around Fyn and the eastern
side of Jutland.
Incredible high tides have
somehow lured some big fish
close to shore especially in
Haderslev Fjord and up to
Kolding.
We now finally plop out of
the end of summer time and
fall into a fantastic season
for fishing for sea trout
along the coast. Spectacular
sunsets add pleasure to
almost every evening at
present as the sun scrapes
lower to the horizon. Again,
we see feeding close to
shore around the golden hour
and during many overcast
skies now, we see active
hunting throughout the day.
Active marine life Sand Eel,
shrimps, small fish all
litter the shallows ringing
the dinner bell for the
active sea trout. Bliss! I
have missed these conditions
and look forward to a good
Autumn, Winter and Spring
sessions.
Personal catches reach 9 sea
trout in the past 2 weeks
ranging from 49cm to 62cm. I
had numerous encounters with
sea trout visually and that
reminds me, we are now in a
season where the sea trout
love to follow the fly/lure,
at times, right up to the
rod tip. This can drive you
insane!
I also have had contact with
Grayling finally! This week,
1 Grayling topped my record.
I’m a happy man.
Several fish are reaching
good sizes along the western
shores of Fyn, most of the
concentration seems to fall
around the Wedellsborg Hoved
region. There are areas
which are hot, and areas
which are not. Finding the
places is the task. Here one
day, gone the next – is a
common phrase here in
Denmark.
The northern shores of Fyn
have been good especially
around the Gabet point.
Odense Fjord bringing in
some fat fish and down south
around Falster has seen sea
trout topping the 5kg
bracket.
The area around Assens and
south has been very good
with catches from 1kg up to
2.5kg, one rumour has even
been aired as 4.2kg.
Speaking of rumours. The
word at present is at some
point last week, a monster
sea trout was landed at
Gravenshoved on the
southeastern shores of
Jutland estimated at 10.1kg.
Although I can’t confirm
this, and neither can many
locals, it’s not impossible.
I know many big fish are
taken around that area all
averaging 3kg at this time
of year, hearing of this
rouge has become the topic
of the week for many
anglers. Everyone knows
someone who knows someone
who knows of someone that
heard of the story. Dam
anglers!
The rivers have been good
all due to well deserved
rainfall over the past two
weeks. The water
temperatures have cooled and
feeding has become active.
Grayling have re-appeared in
the Kongeåen and some nice
brown trout have been landed
on a mixture of flies.
The Gelså has been super.
Grayling galore! What more
could you ask for?
Skjernå has seen good
results on the Salmon front
with some fish around the
4kg being taken. Gudenå and
Vardeå have also seen big
fish with one sea trout
topping 8.4kg, so I heard!
Reminding all that all
rivers here in Denmark close
to all around
October/November. For most,
this marks the start of
doing some serious fly
tying, for other – like me,
time to put the thermals on
and hunt for those sea trout
at the coast.
Presterno Fishing has
upgraded the website listing
our services and dates for
the new year. Keep your eyes
peeled. Something big is
going to happen very soon!
So, tight lines all and look
forward to a great Autumn
and Winter
