Current Report
It’s been a long while since
I battled it out with a head
wind and numb fingers. Hard
to strong winds, waves that
constantly pound the living
c*** out of you, numb
fingers screaming out in
pain, a drippy nose spurting
out clear sticky fluid.
Bliss. How I love fishing in
winter!
Regardless of what the
average fair water angler
thinks, there are some good
fish to be had in all this.
Hard to believe I know, but
it’s true. Where was I?
My whisky glass has just
been re-charged for the
third time and the days
fishing is all but a memory
and I can’t wait for the
next episode. Maybe tomorrow
will offer more Danish
delights in the salt?
The rivers have finally
closed all over Denmark to
give pause to the spawning
fish. Most rivers will re-
open again for members only
on January 15th, otherwise,
it’s a long wait until April.
Still, the salt remains
inviting to those willing to
brave the elements and some
quality fishing can be had.
Most sea run brown trout
being taken from the shores
are a beautiful golden
brown. Some photographs can
be viewed on our new gallery
at: www.presterno.com
Most of the larger species
are already upstream but
some venture into the salt
now and then to feed. Of
course there are some late
runners. As luck would have
it, some sea run brown trout
remain in salt throughout
the winter feeding. These
few are silver and ready for
a fight. These fish have
decided to skip the spawning
runs, It’s natures way of
providing an emergency back
up should a disaster happen
to the spawning / younger
population of trout.
Sea temperatures have fallen
to around 8oC making fishing
conditions perfect and
hopefully will remain so for
some time unless we get some
extreme cold weather. It
doesn’t make fishing
impossible if temperatures
do drop towards the chilly
0oC! Things just kind of
slow down and so should
one’s fly / retrieve. Marine
life will go into a period
of suspended animation –
just like the hangover
feeling that I will have
tomorrow!
Winter is a time to reflect
on the past year and look
forward to the coming year.
Where will you go for that
holiday? As the fire
crackles and warmth floods
the home front, the whisky
glass remains charged and
the time comes to replenish
that arsenal of flies and
lures for 2004. The vice
will get in it’s fly tying
miles, and you will fill
every box and empty space
with hopes of the “big one”.
Santa can’t promise the
dream fish but you’ll
certainly hope so. That’s
what keeps anglers alive –
HOPE!
Unfortunately, Presterno
fishing closed it’s doors
this weekend and will re-
open in march 2004. However,
daily guiding will still be
available throughout the
winter months, so pull out
those thermals. There’s no
excuse!
2004 will see Presterno
Fishing venturing further
afield offering holiday’s in
Norway at the famous Gaula
River for some monster
Salmon. Details will be
listed soon.
A updated fishing report
will be posted next week so
stay tuned folks and tight
lines
