My name is Lars Matthiessen and I am from Denmark. I have been an avid flyfisher for many years and I have been fishing in many countries (all of Scandinavia, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, Slovenia, Austria, Gambia, Belize). In 2007 I designet and started production of Linekurv.dk (danish for stripping basket) as a hobby project. I have received extremely positive feedback on this project and to my big surprise a lot of interest from flyfishers outside Denmark. I only expected interest from Denmark as the saltwater flyfishing for seatrout is national (fishing)sport here and only here, but things are changing. I have started this blog to write about my experiences with stripping baskets in a more informal way and hopefully get some feedback from fellow flyfishers.
As my native language is danish you have to be tolerant regarding the language in this blog as it will be “danglish”. Some times it will be my limitations as a typewriter and some times it will be limitations in my language that will determine the writing.

Hi Lars,
Nice website. Will be interested in reading future reports. I am an Irish guy living in Denmark, and I usually fish Haderslev area. If you’re interested in trying good fishing abroad, try lough corrib in Ireland late May, early June…knæk og bræk

Hi David,
thanks for your comments. As you can see I have just started the blog but hopefully more will come. Actually I have been fishing in Lough Corrib once but it was 30 years ago, but I would love to go back with 30 years of more experience and preference for Guiness which I did not like then
You are living in a very nice area regarding sea trout fishing, I have a nice experience (5,6 kg) from Åbenrå fjord
best regards
Lars
