The season of 2016 was off to a good start, and the River Karup had already delivered a huge amount of nice fish. So on the 8th of July I decided to visit some of the beautiful stretches of water, in the areas of Vormstrup and Resen. Being an avid night angler, I was off […]

I was alone on the stretch of river, and enjoyed a cup of coffee by the car while I inspected the silhouette on my new “Squidro” night fly, up against the sunset. It was, as always, a beautiful sight when the day’s last rays of light, really captures the sky.

Saturday October 1st I was woken by the sound of my phone. A glance confirmed my expectation. It was already 4.30 am. since I the day before had decided that I wanted to go fishing this Saturday morning.

Being “hooked” for life… what does that mean to you? Here’s what it means to me 🙂

In connection with the KÅS competition in 2010, I seriously began Fly-fishing. I started with copying other fly fishers’ techniques. The fishing was primarily during the night, and it was done completely traditionally: with a 45 degree throw toward the opposite bank, big black flies, occasional use of the nymph fly, 2 steps forward, and […]

The local anglers at the legendary River Karup, have through several decades supported a wide range of good and effective sea trout flies. Flies like Klods Hans, Torp, Resen, and especially the fly with the most distinctive name, Den Tropiske Gråspurv, has through my time as a sea trout angler been a great inspiration. However, […]
