On the last weekend in may I was invited to Skjern Å Lystfiskeri Festival in Denmark to tye flies and show some skagit casting. Me and my wife Kicki did arrive to Skarilld and our rented cottage already on thursday just to get some time to fish River Skjern and some shopping also. Had never before fished any one of the Danish rivers and the fishing there is not anything that I'm used to but did think it was intresting and will sure get back next year to try get a fish also.
