Theo,
I gather that you are referring to the links to the locofoam site, which does not exist any more?
Our problem is that this story was written in 2002 - 5 years ago - and that we have no chance of checking these links. When sites die, we try to remove or correct links, but it's a never ending game.
I will remove and put up a note on these immediately and hope for gentler reactions and more forgiveness next time you stumble upon such links...

Do you realize that you irritate the hell out of people puting up links like the ones above. Especially on a high quality website such as this one :(

Dave,
Thanks for your comment. True enough that the wind adds authenticity, but it also adds a lot of noise and quite a bit of post production work for me. I have tried to keep the noise down by applying differerent filters and cutting out the worst parts. I hate doing that because time by the computer equals lost fishing time.
And I'm glad you liked the stomach growl... ;-) Next time you may be able to get into bed with me! Literally! I started recording the next podcast installment yesterday after I had laid down to sleep, sparked by a late night email about C&R. I will probably do the rest tomorrow or during the weekend by the water, and get it published as soon as I get the time to finish the mixing.

Martin,
I enjoy your podcasts very much. I've listened to all of them and look forward to each new one that comes out. Your latest was excellent. I really enjoy it when you record all of the sounds, wind included. More authentic that way. Glad to hear that you caught fish on this trip. I felt like I was there with you - stomach growl and all. :-) -

Mike,
If you're talking the right side seen from the owner's (Jens) view and the side closest to the viewer, they are several but very similar patterns. The gray one is Magnus and the tan one is The Slaughter (Slagteren in Danish). Both are very similar - basically a dubbed body with a body hackle. Magnus uses a couple of hackle tips as a tail and The Slaughter uses a few straws of flash. I can't recognize the olive fly, but I can inquire.

Reply to: Autum Pike in the Dutch polder
Nice Pike, like the dark colors. It's a fairly large one isn't it?
Luckily the weather overhere isn't that bad at the moment, nice and clear skies with night frost and good temperatures during the daytime. Fortunately I don't have to start wearing any gloves yet.
Tomorrow I'll go for pike again, or many perch. Still haven't decided yet. -

Hi What do you call the fly on the right side of the fly box? I am alway looking for new flys to try on Michigan Steelhead. What materials do you use for this fly.

Hi Brian
Nice to see a sign of life from you, obviously your doing well!The pikefishing in sweden is good at the time but i do aswell as you long a bit for the trouts, although freshwater crocs aint a bad substitute!
The gear i use is a soft #10 Vision 3zone kitted with a coma real and a cut down #11 wf line (floater). My leader of choice is hard monofilament 1,00mm and the flies is dustwipe devievers tied on 4/0 Swier hooks (barbless!)
Sorry for a bit of lousy pictures but i was f**king freezing my fingers of!

Reply to: Our first mullets
Growing up in Florida I am well acquainted with the mullet. We have both "black" and "silver" mullet.The blacks grow considerably larger but both are great table fare. I konw a lot of the older folks catch them on cane poles with corn for bait, chumming with oats or catfood.My fishing buddies and I would use castnets like you see natives in the islands.(this is legal with a 50 fish per person limit) Now that i have begun flyfishing I would love to try to take one on a fly and will let my old friends know about this "new" way of catching them.
