Philatelic phlies
Do Postal Services have notions of flyfishing? Do flyfishers have something in common with stamp collectors?
Read the story here.
November 16th 1998
This year is not the most tempting though, because the fishing has been quite slow until now and the weather has been acting up. The wind has been terrible. We prefer southern winds for several reasons: they bring clear weather both in the summer and in the winter. There are vast areas of stable weather especially east and south east of Denmark and when the wind comes from there it usually means warm spring and summer days and clear, but cold fall and winter days.
November 10th 1998
So it snows again Cabin fever is usually not the Danish coastal fishers' big problem. The season stretches almost all through winter, and except for the coldest weeks there are no excuses but comfort and fear of cold weather to stay indoors. Right now we have seen the first snow, but the water is still quite warm in the ocean - in the 4-6 deg. Centigrade span - which is fine for both trout and cod. Bautiful day - but that wind!
