 An
Angler's 
Welcome to East-Jutland!
First of all, a warm welcome to
Denmark, to East-Jutland and to my extensive website www.angling-eastjutland.dk!
This website was launched in 2000 and at
that time sponsored by the County of Aarhus. Unfortunately, all
counties in Denmark are being closed down, giving way to larger
municipalities instead. For that reason and as of April this
year I was handed over www.angling-eastjutland.dk which
I had invented, created and maintained for the county since 2000.
My only obligation being to continue maintaining and updating
it on a regular basis.
I will continue updating www.angling-eastjutland.dk
on a monthly basis as I have done so far for the county. I am
also expanding it to contain more how-to information on fish,
fishing and fishing waters in East Jutland.
For your information I am a fisheries biologist
by education from the University of Århus but now a full
time outdoor writer and photographer by profession. I work for
a number of magazines - mostly the Scandinavian fly only magazine
"Flugfiske i Norden" where I am on the editorial
staff. I am also have my own angling page in "Jyllands-Posten",
the largest Danish newspaper.
Being a fisheries biologist by education
(and profession for some years) I deal a lot with environmental
issues when and where they pertain to fish and water. I also
specialise in fly fishing and travel all over the world to sample
exotic fishing and thus get new material for new articles and
books. Of which I have written 22 so far - in my own name. Besides
that I have co-authored another half dozen international books.
You may in fact well have read some of my writings or looked
at some of my photos without knowing it!
But let us cut the story short. You have
probably stumbled upon this home page because you were looking
for some information on fishing in Denmark in general or East
Jutland in particular. No other part of Denmark offers the diversity
and quality fishing that East Jutland does. We have the highest
concentration of lakes, the most varied coastline, the longest
Danish river (the River Guden) and the most seatrout and salmon.
If you feel like trying out some Danish fishing, look no further!
So, for your convenience I have compiled
the most essential facts about the fishing possibilities we have
here in Denmark. So far there are 15 articles to choose from
- 12 of them on the angling possibilities in each month of the
year.
Guiding:
- Are you planning to visit East-Jutland,
and are you uncertain as to how to approach the local fishing?
Then feel free to contact Steen
Ulnits, fisheries biologist, 20+ book author, keen fisherman,
TV producer, photographer and webmaster of this website, and
book him for guiding. You can do this on an hourly or daily basis.
Apart from travelling the Globe and guiding
trips to exotic parts of this Earth, Steen Ulnits has been fishing
the waters of East Jutland for more than 30 years. Thus you are in good hands - be it in freshwater
or saltwater, flyfishing or spinning, walking, wading or boating!
- Or maybe you feel like being guided
for a few days while staying in a nice cottage with full board,
close to the ocean?
If so, please contact me for available
dates and current prices. For additional
information and photos on this opportunity, please click here!
- Welcome back!
