Mariager Fjord 5/6-09

A very early morning trip with Henrik and three other pontoon boat fly fishers. Almost no wind and the fjord looked fantastic. When the light came you could sea a lot of algae and it did not look that fantastic anymore.

At first we did not see any fish but later they showed now and then around the algae sections where there were feeding. Henrik caught and released a trout around the minimum size but apart from that the trouts did not show much interest in our flies.

Very close to the shore Kent got a very nice trout at app. 5 pounds, so his day was made.

Bredningen Randers 4/6-09

A pontoon boat trip with Henrik fly fishing for pike. We started at high tide and soon we both had contact and got a pike. Then we had to wait a long time without any interest in our flies followed by a short period with activity and it continued like that most of the day. The weather also changed from no wind and sun to heavy rain to very heavy wind and hail – we tried everything. As usual Henrik got the biggest of the day – a pike in the 13 pounds range.

The largest pike of the day

Moesgaard 2/6-09

An evening trip with Michael  wade fishing at Moesgaard. It was quite crowded ( 8 fishermen) we managed to keep away from the most popular spot so it worked out fine. To my knowledge no one saw or had contact with anu sea trouts this evening so a bit disappointing.

But and a big but Michael got his first sea bass ever. This is not a common fish here so big gratulations. It was 42 cm and was caught on the classic Red Tag.
