FLY FISHING
TOURS - RIVER SKJERN
|
The
river Skjern is probably the most famous Danish salmon stream |
and this reputation is
well deserved. More than 1,000 salmons were |
caught last year and with an average weight
above 5,0 kg this |
ranks the river Skjern on top of
the line. |
|
The river is easily fished with one-hand as well as
two-hand rods |
at most places and tube flies as
well as double and single hook flies |
are in use by the river. Patterns
such as the Beiss fly, T&L, Jock Scott, |
Chillimps, Green Highlander are used extensively
as well as local |
variations. |
|
The river has a
steady flow of water often with a brownish tan to it. |
Stretches varies between flat
lands and more sloping areas at the |
upper stretches
of the river. Water level can move up and down a |
bit, but the river is neither
affected by tidal water nor rain to really |
seriously
jeopardize fishing possibilities. |
|
Best periods are the first two weeks when
the season opens and |
when it closes. Last year more than 60
salmons were caught on |
the opening day. As always actual catches
can vary during the |
year. |
|
This river is certainly worth a try if
you want to fish in wonderfull |
surroundings by a river that holds
salmons throughout the season. |
Please remember that only barbless hooks are
allowed and that you |
will have to have a special salmon permit when fishing this
river |
(costs DKK 100,-). |
