Advantages/Disadvantages Casting with Short Lines for Salmon and Sea Trout, with Focus on the Danish Rivers René will show us the advantages/disadvantages of casting short lines on double/single handed rods in small to medium rivers for sea trout and salmon in the Danish rivers where he has fished and taught for many years. He will take you on a journey through the entire system of a Danish river, starting with the techniques and lines he uses at the upper end of the river where the river is very narrow and there is a lot of vegetation. He ends the demo where the river becomes wider and where there is also more wind, and makes suggestions on what to look for when casting and line selection here. |
