Spin fishing courses

Spin fishing is widely used along the river and the salmon and seatrout

alike will willingly take the spinner, spoon or wobbler when its in the mood.

Most places, river Varde is rather easy to fish with spin although the weed

can pose a little problem in the summer. Lures with weights between

10-30 gr will do the job and colors silver, copper and red are all proven

as being able to attract the attention of the fish. Mepps and Myr spinners

Toby and Krokodil spoons and Rapalas are all good bets.

Besides salmon and seatrout river Varde is also reknown for its stock

of steelheads. The exploding wildness of a steelhead that has just taken

the lure is unimaginative - it must be experienced.....

The river saw some major rearrangements during the 60's but is never

the less still a beauty and have actually been put back to its original state

a couple of places, so a visit to river Varde is always an enjoyment....

This course is aimed at the beginning as well the experienced angler.

We look into the methods, tactics, choice of lures etc. and introduces

participants to a classic Danish salmon river and its beats. Generally 

the lessons lasts 3 hours each with individual guiding for participants. 

(in english or german).

River Varde also holds a good stock of

seatrouts mainly in the range of 2-5 kg.

However, from time to time much bigger

fish are landed as the 11,5 kg seatrout

to your right. It took to a fly and is sofar

the biggest seatrout from river Varde.

The seatrout enters the river a little later

than the salmon and offers excellent

fishing from july to the end of the season.

They can be found at the same places

as that of the salmon

to the Danish Center for the Wild salmon with guidance and information

about the atlantic salmon, a night with a wine tasting programme offerering

excellent organically grown wines as well as a course certificate.  Drinks/

provided for by arrangement with the participants.

The Hotel is situated near the places we fish and all transportation is

provided for. We try to find facilities that are certified according to

environmental standards (Green Key) and though not easy it is our aim

that in due time all of our suppliers of services will be certfied according

to either such standards or our own environmental standards.

Meals are included and picknicks arranged for to be taken with you to

the river. One night the Chef de cuisine will serve the ultimate fish dishes

that makes the angels sing! With this dinner we will have the opportunity

to taste a range of excellent ecological wines to go with the dishes.
