REDTAG - FISHING ADVENTURES

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
	<< Nice 10 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...

Your weather just got better.
