Current Report
The days are positively
getting longer and soon we
will scrape into February
with sweaty palms and well
dressed lines. For most, the
season has already started.
Most rivers opened in
Denmark on or around the
16th January for members
only, signalling anglers to
crawl out from their
hibernation with a pale
coloured winter skin and
face the elements with a
hope of starting the new
season with a fish
resembling a Russian Nuclear
Typhoon Class Submarine.
Some got near to it, but
most just shivered by the
bank holding on to their
dreams wishing they were
watching a classic fishing
movie like “The Hunt for Red
October”.
“Where’s the fishing in
that, I hear you ask?”,
Well, Sean Connery does say
a little something at the
end of the movie about
fishing with his
grandfather. Besides, it’s
close to that time when sea
run brown trout - with
silent caterpillar drive –
will put to sea. Be ready
with your counter-measures
and have that rod loaded and
prepare for impact!
Most anglers that have
fishing Denmark before, will
know that the period between
March and June is a kind of
sea run brown trout melting
pot. Plenty of life in the
soup, but everyone wants a
piece of the meat (nice
saying that, don’t ya think)?
The sea and air temperatures
have moderated considerably,
and the only worst enemy is
the wind that can sometimes
kick up a fuss. But there’s
always somewhere to hide. I
know as well, that some
hardened, bitter local
anglers will like to add a
little punch to that last
remark and mention that even
in April we can have a cold
snap with snow. Yes we
could. But how does that
effect the feeding of the
sea run’s? Regardless of
wind, sun, rain, cold, snow,
ice, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, tornado’s,
Russian SSBN Nuclear Sub’s,
soggy sandwiches and socks
with holes in…The sea run
brown trout will gather and
feed.
Denmark is blessed with good
fishing and a first rate
native population of sea run
brown trout the pride and
jewels of our very
coastlines. Great game-fish!
Why not get in on the
action?
If you are planning on
booking a fishing holiday
and / or a guide, then do so
if you want to fish between
March and June. Dates go
faster than a screaming reel.
Why not check out the new
website: www.presterno.com
and secure that holiday now?
