A little late maybe, as these pictures are from a fall trip last year - but I just rediscovered them on my phone, and thought you guys would appreciate them.
The gear used was a Fenwick FF806 and a Milward Flycraft reel.
This is the upper part of the steam, where it is very narrow and overgrown in some places. Still, I have caught sea run browns over 28 inches on this spot, so it can be well worth all the lost flies and stinging nettle blisters.
I did not catch any big ones on this trip, but it was a nice day with a lot of action on the surface.

That's awesome. Those streams look a lot like the Wisconsin streams except they don't have Sea Run Browns. Thanks for the post!

Thanks!
The thing that makes this stream special (at least in Denmark) is that the searun trouts feed actively on insects, which makes them possible to catch on traditional dryflies or foam flies.
Big searuns (around 22 lbs.) are caught every year on this stream, though usually on heavier tackle, and further downstream where the stream is a little wider and deeper. If you want to catch a big searun, night-fishing is the way to go. Most people use bulky, black tubeflies or wake flies.

Beautiful stream, looks like you have a combination of sea run and resident browns. Are there a lot of trout streams in Denmark?

Fished the Konge A two times in the past. Nice meadowy spring creek type stream. Big graylings.

softhackle: There is - a lot in fact. We also have some very good salmon fishing in some of the larger rivers.
However, the coastal fishing for searun browns is the most popular type of fishing here. (Which, I guess, makes sense in a country where you never have more than 31 miles to the coast, and more than 5500 miles of shoreline to choose from).

pecosjuan: We have a lot of public water here (the coastal fishing, lots of lakes, and a good number of streams and parts of some streams), but most of the fishing in the larger rivers/streams is leased or owned by different fishing associations. This may sound expensive and a little exclusive, but it is really not.

thank you, beautiful scenes..

that last pic looks like a 'big one' to me, however if you have caught 28" searuns then I guess that isn't a 'big one' for some folks ;-)

It was a nice fish to catch on the 806, and even more fun because i caught it on a foam hopper.
It was just under 20 inches if i remember correctly. The other one (pictured in the net) was around 17-18 inches.
The size limit in Denmark is 40 cm (15.75 inches) if you want to bring them home, and fish from that and up to 23-24 inches is generally referred to as small/smaller fish - at least when we are talking river-caught searuns. On the coast the size is generally a bit smaller.
In the rivers you have the chance to catch the big herring eating monsters, the ones that normally lives in the open ocean - out of reach of a flyrod. The will go up in surprisingly small streams to spawn, and quite a few chrome searuns around 15 to over 22 lbs are caught every year in danish rivers.

Here is a picture (not mine) from the most famous "big trout" stream in Denmark, called Karup Å (Karup River).
If I remember correctly, the world record was once held by a fish caught here. The strain of trout in this river is known to grow very large
It is a typical danish river: relatively slow flowing, narrow, deep. Denmark is, in most places, flat as a pancake - so we don't have the big roaring rivers like they do in Norway for example.

I had no idea there are such opportunities in Denmark.. Wow.
Caught a couple of steelhead (sea run rainbows) in Oregon once, loved that fishing.
Now dreaming about sea run browns..

Looks wonderful, I have never managed to find much info on the Danish regulations for sportsfishermen, other than some mentioning about the, is it "fiskertegn" so have dropped to bring any rods for the last few years.

We are regulary in Denmark for hollidays and/or family stuff, due to Father in law being Danish, from Jylland and the little Mrs have most of her family there. :)

It is quite easy to get fishing licenses in Denmark -- there is a general licens that is needed for all sorts of fishing (coastal, freshwater) for all people who are not retired. Then, for rivers one needs a license issued by local fishing clubs and one might get these via internet. Usually these are quite cheap (order 200 $ per year, 20$per day), even for one of the many salmon rivers, which are lately revived and are populated by large Atlantic Salmon.
