Østerild Fjord

Østerild Fjord, on the coast of Region Nordjylland, Denmark, is a saltwater spot best fished around the change of tide. Casting from the shore, look for any seam where deeper water meets shallow — the edge of a sandbar, the lip of a reef, the corner of a harbour entrance. From a boat, you can drift the same edges, dropping lures or bait into the strike zone with each pass.

Fishing Techniques

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
