Crap - I made this page this morning, and thought I'd made it live - obviously I hadn't, because when I logged in tonight just after 8pm, yesterdat's page was still up! Sorry guys - here it is :-).

Despite the fact that the western parts of Jutland recieved over a foot of snow last night, spring is definitely coming. We've had lots of days with positive temperatures, even though they still drop below 0 at night.

And in one month, April 1st, all the salmonrivers open - unfortunately it coincides with Easter this year meaning that the fishing pressure will be ridicilous the first couple of days. So I might skip opening day and take a few days off a week or two into April and see if I can catch a fresh salmon.

It's the one period of the year where a big 15' DH-rod makes a little sense - not becuase of the size of the rivers, but because the lightest lines we fish in "my" river are sinkrate 4-5, and they are just so much easier to handle with a 15-footer. I'll probably end up using my trusty 13' DH-rod afterall.

I'm tying flies for the opening - all colors are good as long as they're black, and all patterns wotj as long as they're huge :-). I've tied some big, black zonkers and I'm a little concerned they might become too heavy when the skin gets waterlogged, but time will show. I can't imagine that a sinkrate 5 shootinghead will have any trouble carrying it.

Apart from the salmon-opening, I'm hoping to get in a few days of seatrout fishing on the coast - it's been a long time and March will be interesting with this long winter.

Have a nice weekend!
