Seatroutfishing in Norway

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

The season for seatrout in saltwater should have started some weeks ago on the south cost of Norway, but we have had a white and cold winter. Hopefully the temperature will rise the comeing days. The seatrout should be eating sandworms, shrimps and small fishes like "kuttling". :)
PS! I've made a movie teaser from our latest guided fishing trip and you can watch it on my web-site. :wink:

Has anybody tried to use dropper fly for sea trout fishing? I always use only one point fly but I am interested if it is possible to use second fly. thanks a lot

oh boy. You Czech and the nymph idea. . . . think my way: big fish.. dropper..snag on the bottom... lost fish.. anger. really I do not think that seatrout/salmon fishing is the place for usin' droppers. if U know polish word "zbój" what means guy like Rumcajs, we in poland usually use one fly and we call
this techiqe "na zbója". hej

Hi Pike!

I don't know what you mean by dropper fly. Do you mean 2 flies on the leader? :roll:

FlyBandit: Yes, you are true. 2 flies on leader. But I will prefer only one. We are going to Denmark today, so we will see. I hope some good sea trout will be caught

Pike,

Spring is here, and you may be lucky to run into some good weather! Post some pictures when you get back.

I only use 1 fly, but I know that others also use 2 flies. From norwegian flyfishing magazines I've read positive articles about using 2 flies. It's called "Opphenger".

My favorite fly for the night fishing is "SeaDuctive". It's very important that the fly is floating. Strip it gently home. Stop and wait for the take. It will make a perfect silluete against the sky.

My favorite fly for the daytime fishing is "Superflua". It's an illusion of a small fish. Very simple to tie. Consist of 6-7 cm of superhair bound on a tube and fished with a treble hook.

When the fish is sip-riseing you should try "Pink Shrimp". Small hooks. # 16-10. My experience is that the seatrout could turn selective during daytime and Pink Shrimp will solve the task.

I don't know if this is the recipe in Denmark, but it surely function on the south coast of Norway. Put some olive and brown wolly buggers into your fly box as well and off you go.

You'll find pictures of the flies on my web-page. Superflua is shown on my last video. :wink:

Hi Martin,
I came back this morning and we spent beautiful time on Fyn. We took part in Open Sea trout competition and one of my team mate was 9th with fish 62 cm long and 2,30 kg in weight. I caught only two fish (better one was 50 cm) but I am very satisfied and I like Denmark at all. We lived in Healnas camp a visited Odense Fjord, Toro, Kolding etc. We also met Steffen Henchely and had a talk with him. The book he wrote about Fyn and best spots for sea trouts is excellent and helped us a lot. Good job is done in his organization.
To summarize it, approx. 40 - 45 fish were caught by our group of 8 flyfishermen in 3 days.

Pike,

It seems like you had an excellent trip to Denmark. I have been at Helnaes a couple of times and fished on Fun a dozen times. It's a really nice island with lots of good opportunities for sea trout fishing.

Glad you enjoyed your stay here.

Martin

Martin, thanks.Yes, it was perfect. Beautiful countryside, nice people, interesting architecture, wonderful fishing. The fish we saw in Go fishing in Odense was unbeliaveble. Silver fish in perfect condition. Last year I spent a week on west coast of Sweden and I would say, that chance to catch a big fish is bigger in Denmark. So I would like to come back again in September. See also attached file with one of our most successful fly

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
