With a 6/4 vote, we are  going to Sweden.
Mads will get back with a date when he’s found out about his Ph.D.

So it seems that 5 shrimp want to go to Fyn and 5 want to go to Sweden.
A hard standoff.
Shrimp who have not yet voted have been contacted and urged to vote.

We are getting closer to spring and with spring comes the bi-annual Shrimp journey into the unknown waters of the world.
Last time, we discussed the possible destinations of the upcoming trip and several people made suggestions and volunteered for the planning.
Here are the details of what we might do.

With temperatures below zero, I managed to venture out to moesholm.dk on saturday. After less than 1 hour I got a fine specimen of rainbow trout. A good 47cm and 1.7kg.

The owner of the place had released 150kg of rainbow trout the day before and we were hopeful. Fortunately, our expectations were met.
I got 3 beautiful fish, one at 2.2kg and the other two at 1.2kg. I fished fly only and with a red [...]

I spent 3 hours at Moesholm.dk P&T today. A bit cold and windy, limiting the options regarding where to fish. There’s ice at one end of the lake, ruling that end out entirely.
After about 1 hour, I got one.
This one’s 55cm and just over 2.2 kg. Caught on a Magnus with red tip and it [...]

In my quest to perfect the art of flyfishing, I have searched high and low for those illusive knots.
First an explanation about the gear.

Lasse and I hooked up at moesholm.dk P&T in november.
It was my first time at a P&T and Lasse took me through the motions with paying and such.
After a while chatting and eating cake, we moved across the lake to an area, seemingly known as “The Hole”. A small pocket where another fisherman said he’d [...]
