FLYFISHING SCHOOL - RIVER
VARDE |
|
|
- FLY FISHING COURSE -
RIVER VARDE -
|
River Varde
is a typical Danish Salmon stream and has seen an |
impressive development during
the last 10 years - in catches as well |
as with regard to the major efforts
undertalken to put the river bed |
back to its original state uptown
Varde. |
|
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 is to a certain extent
affected by tidal water that can influence |
fishing some
kilometers up the river. The river is brownish in color |
and the surroundings varies
throughout its run - from slopes, forest and |
hills at the stretches around
Karlsgaarde to a very flat landscape |
further down
the river below the town of Varde. |
|
Best periods are the first two weeks when
the season opens and |
when it closes. In the summer period
the river can become quite |
warm due to its generally low water
level somewhat impairing the |
possibilities for getting in touch with
the salmon.. |
|
A really nice river - typically
westcoast that will improve even more in |
the years to come partly due to a major
river restauration project |

kg spring salmon from the river Varde |

SALMONS ARE HARD TO GET...
|
|
Salmon fishing can at times be hard work, but when that |
10
kg fish hooks to your fly or spinner magic happens. |
The
video to your right makes the dream come through - |
a
nice salmon has taken to the spinner by the White |
Bank of river Varde. This place has seen a lot of action |
throughout the years and hundreds of salmons have been |
caught - and lost - along the banks of this stretch of the |
river. |
|
The
video shows you some things about salmon fishing |
that is the right way to do it - and some things that are |
not
the right way to do it! Though in Danish you will |
probably understand what is going on...! |
|
|
|
|
TEMPERATURES
|
|
Temperatures do affect the salmons
willingness to hook |
on a
fly or take to a spinner. Water temperatures are to |
99% affected by air temperature so it
might be good idea |
to check prevailing conditions
beforehand. |
|
If the water temperature is too cold or
too warm the |
behavior will exhibit a state of
inactivity and only when |
temperatures rises or falls will
behavior change... |
