Roskilde Fjord

For now this section is about Denmark - and mainly the area around Copenhagen.

A large fjord system stretching from the north coast of Sjaelland down to the city of Roskilde. Easily accessible many places by car or public transport, and approachable from cities Roskilde, Jyllinge and Frederikssund riding a bike.

The fjord is brackish and known for its cold season fishing and even has good winter fishing when there is no ice. In the garfish season (May and June) there's a great abundance of these slim fish, and in the summer and autumn you can sometimes find large schools of mullet grazing in the warm water of the fjord.

Most of the fjord system is well sheltered and even fairly hard winds will not stir it much. You can almost always fish the banks with off shore wind, and in many cases also fish where a light wind is on or along the beach depending on your temper and your casting skills.

Roskilde Fjord

The fjord is large and has easy car access many places, and buses serve all major and medium size cities along the coast. Jylling and Frederikssund can be good starting points. From these cities as well as Roskilde itself you can ride a bike to many good locations on the fjord.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
