Current Report
Well, I think I finally
found ”My Kinda Fly”. Having
spent countless hours by the
tying vice and wasted
numerous rather expensive
materials and hooks, I
finally found what I have
been looking for. It seems
the fish agree too!
This past few weeks I have
spent much time in the salt
throwing around my rather
effective fly, regardless of
the weather. I, being a kind
of “Hardcore”, salt fly
angler, enjoy the salt when
most don’t. The worse the
weather the better. All
right, all right…I enjoy
calm seas. Only a fool
wouldn’t, but there’s
something about having an
entire stretch of coastline
to yourself. It’s something
more when you have two or
three rouge sea run brown
trout out there just waiting
for your…or should I say…My,
fly!
My mystery fly I have
proudly named
the “Fisherman’s Fukup”. No
reason really, it just looks
like it wasn’t meant to be.
However it works, and having
been in the salt 6 times in
2 weeks - 9 sea run brown
trout can’t be bad.
Good ole Jack Frost is back
to claim the night. The
mornings are cold and the
land is covered in a
sparkling white blanket. The
sun doesn’t wake up until at
least after 7! That hour
before it climbs above the
horizon, is spectacular.
Good fishing is had through
the day as temperatures are
falling fast. Last nights
reading gave a single
figure! Brrrrrrrrrrrh!
Nothing my “Not so sexy long
thermals couldn’t handle”!
One’s wedding tackle had
seen better days!
I have heard endless good
reports and rightly so.
Autumn is a grand time to
step in the salt. Fish are
active and beautifully
marked in their spawning
colours. Golden browns,
creamy whites can render you
speechless. The long hot
summers are long gone and
one’s dreams can finally
come true. Is just a matter
of finding the right place
at the right time. Autumn is
the right time.
Most if not all fish being
landed at the coast are
preparing for their spawning
runs. Feeding is active and
the sea trout aren’t wasting
any time. An average size
one can expect is around the
50cm mark. Picking out one
larger is high. Even the
possibility of hooking a
pure silver fish that has
clearly decided to skip the
wild sexy spawning party and
settle for a routine of
celibacy and feeding in the
salt. If you do manage to
grab a trout in this
condition…It will give you a
good run or two. Your
backing may see the light of
day!
I can’t really give hotspots
now, as everywhere is a
hotspot. All around the
coasts – fishing is good.
The rivers are approaching
closing time. Some are
closed now and more will
follow in the coming weeks,
so I would suggest flexing
that rod by the river.
Early mornings are pretty
tough. Water is cold and few
rises can be seen. Nymphing
can bring results.
Grayling are feeding crazy
after noon when the water
has warmed slightly. Rises
are frequent and grouped in
tight shoals in good lies.
Good hatches coming down are
Iron Blues and Cynamon
Sedges which, start rather
slow but picks up in bursts.
It can be on and off for a
couple of hours. Parachutes
are always a good number and
it’s possible to raise brown
trout by fishing the dry
fly. Blind.
All Grayling rivers are good
at present, although finding
the areas where the Grayling
are feeding can be tough. A
recommended walk along the
river can bring rewards.
That’s it for now, another
report will follow next
week. Tight lines all from
Presterno Fishing in Denmark
offering the exclusive fly
fishing holiday. Go to

Later y’all
