Bornholm Island, often referred to as the "sunshine island," is a prime destination for fly fishing enthusiasts. This Baltic Sea gem offers a unique combination of rocky shorelines, sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters, making it an angler's haven for reeling in unforgettable catches.

Sea trout are undoubtedly the most coveted catch on Bornholm Island. These silver-scaled beauties are known for their strength, acrobatics, and elusive nature, making them a thrilling challenge for all skill levels. In addition to sea trout, you may also encounter garfish, particularly during the spring months.

Some successful patterns for sea trout include the Magnus, Pattegrisen, and Copperbomber. For garfish, consider using small baitfish imitations or flashy streamers that can be retrieved quickly.
