By Martin Joergensen


     More and bigger fish
More trout. Bigger trout.
Maybe these 10 simple pieces of advice
can bring you that. Then again... maybe not.

I don't want to pretend to anyone that these 10 tips will turn skunked trips into a hurricane of loose scales and splashing water, but if you follow the advice sketched here, there is a slight chance that you will improve your statistics.

Many seasoned fishers will probably already know and follow these rules, but even the skilled fisher can learn new things. As you will see the advice might seem banal, but after reading you can ask yourself how many of them you follow. They aim to break old habits and urge you to think differently.

You can shrug your shoulders and say 'nah - not for me', you can use all of the tips or some or you can conclude that you already do most of the things I will touch upon.
...your choice.
But read on anyway and reflect a bit over my points. There might be a chance of improvement hidden somwhere in the row of 10 plus one.

People who looked at the above also looked at:

Czech Nymphing

The principle of nymph-fishing with Czech nymph is short-distance fishing, practically under the tip of the rod. The flyline is hanging under the tip of the rod and its end often does not even touch the water level.

Jan's Emerger

Another new pattern from Jan Grandal-Johansen, this time a buzzer emerger that fishes well on the reservoirs in the UK. Those hackle tip wings are just killer.

Perfect Camera

If you’re on the lookout for a new camera to take with you when you go fishing, there are a few things you need to consider before diving for your wallet. This article aims to point out some issues regarding size, facilities and accesories.

Czech nymphs

Does anyone remember the early to mid 90's? The rage in the US, at least among tyers of trout flies, was Polish woven nymphs. Fast forward to the dawn of the new century and these articles and flies have all but disappeared? Were they a fad? What happened?

Glitter Shrimp

A killer fly in the right hands on a cold winter day. A very simple shrimp pattern for Danish sea trout and many other targets.
