Kern Leo Lund – Denmark

Kern Leo Lund is one of the most talented seatrout fly tiers in Denmark with a specialty in Shrimp patterns. His Leo’s Perfect Shrimp is one of his great flies that not only look good, but also works really well.

Kern lives close to some very nice seatrout hot spots, so he has great access to test his designs, and he does so several times a week.

Kern catches a lot of fish every year and he has landed several above the magic 5 kg with an impressive fish above 7 kg from Bornholm as the biggest.

Kern loves saltwater and he has fished many countries on both the flats and off shore. His trips have brought him to countries like Cuba, Mexico, USA and others in search for Bonefish, Tarpon, Tuna, Sailfish, Dorado etc.

But it is the seatrout that is his biggest passion.

My Favorit Gear

Coastal Seatrout

Rod:

Spook Seatrout 9’ # 6 and Spook Seatrout 9’ # 7. This rod is extremely light, but still have a lot of power for long cast. It is perfect for my fishing. Great balance, action and finish. My favorite seatrout rod of all times!

Reel:

NEWTON 6/8 – in blue, so it matches the Spook Seatrout rods. Superb 100 % sealed brake. Awesome design, where it is clear, that it is designed for use in saltwater. And the weight is also low, so it fits the very light Spook Seatrout rods. A perfect match.

 

Line:

Pro series shooting head kit. These lines give me an edge no matter where I fish, and in what weather. If I should choose one of them only, it would be the Delayed Turn Over (DTO) model. Once I got used to the DTO head (it takes longer time to get straightened in the back cast than other lines), it simply produced the best casting I have ever done with a shooting head. But all 4 heads has their advantage, and I wouldn’t be without any of them!

My Favorite Flies:

Leo’s Perfect Shrimp, See Thru Baitfish
