New Nordic Series

It sounds a bit like a new direction in modern, Scandinavian cuisine, but it’s not. It’s a new hook in our Nordic Series. Do they ever stop releasing new hook, you might think. Well, not in any foreseeable future. Nordic Series was the first line of hooks we released, so named to mark that we … Continue reading “New Nordic Series”

I particularly like the fall season, because the fish are always in good condition after feasting their way through spring and summer.’ Andreas Larsson has written this week’s blog for us – a few tips for fall fishing along the coast and a beautiful zonker … Continue reading “Fall sea trout”

The people behind Ahrex: The Blogger (Lars Chr. Bentsen)

I’m not terribly comfortable writing a blog about myself, but I’m under strict orders from HQ to do so, so bear with me. It of course began when I was a kid, fishing brown trout in the local stream and flat fish, weevils and the odd cod from the local harbour. My mother has a … Continue reading “The people behind Ahrex: The Blogger (Lars Chr. Bentsen)”

Vestergaard In any type of fly, for any kind of species, during most of the season, you can encounter conditions, where it’s highly advantageous (some essentially necessary) to do whatever you can to avoid snagging on weed.

Magic Møn

Ole Martin, often called Mr. Møn, has often talked about the island of Møn, situated in the south eastern part of Sjælland (Denmark). The high cliffs and the beaches are beautiful and there’s excellent fishing. Having seen pictures and film from Møn, I had to go.

Rag Worms

A real “trout-snack” – photo: Henrik Kure Nielsen. They are big, they can bite you, some find them quite unappealing and yet, the first big hatches of bag worms are the events all saltwater fiy fishers in Scandinavia look forwards to. There are many, many different species in different sizes and colours, but the sea … Continue reading “Rag Worms”

Dark is the Night (at least somewhere)

Summer is fast approaching, and with it, lots of sun and higher water temperatures. Both contribute to a change in behaviour of the sea trout. It’s possible, by choosing the right spots and adapting your techniques and strategy, to catch sea trout all through the day during the summer. But there’s no doubt that concentrating … Continue reading “Dark is the Night (at least somewhere)”

Garfish-time

Garfish is one of those fish, where the best fishing weather actually is nice weather. Clear skies, a light off-shore breeze, 20 degrees and blazing sun and garfish are almost a guarantee. They are fairly easy to catch and they are often present in numbers. They are the quintessential good-weather-fish on the Danish beaches. That … Continue reading “Garfish-time”
