Find "Early Morning" on this page

Early Morning

Listen up: Martin is planning to go out fishing at sunrise, and recorded a few thoughts on how to prepare for such an early morning fishing. He has to be very meticulous in his preparations, because if he's not, he will forget something...
Sound and a single image here

Mart's Parachute Ant

Terrestrial: During the warmer months of the year, they are just about anywhere... Ants. Martin Westbeek shows an easy way to tie a good ant imitation that will sit well on the surface and hopefully lure trout or grayling.
See his prescription here.

The Visitors - Day 2

A gallery for the emailers: Two days. Two teams. Six fly fishers. Very different and difficult circumstances. Kasper Mühlbach was invited by a Lithuanian and a German team to go fishing with them. Their role was to catch and pose. Kasper's role was to photograph.
See the outcome here.

Rudi’s little gems

Bavaria: Take more than one day off for fly-fishing in Bavaria. The waters are outstanding and you have so many options! That's the advice of Tobias Renkawitz in this article about Rudi Heger's trophy trout and grayling waters on the Traun in the Southern part of Germany and in Austria.
Read his article here.

Not really fishing

Listen up: A short podcast from a fruiteless February trip to the cold Danish coast. It was an extremely beautiful day, and a lot of time was spent lying on the back in the sand, staring into the blue sky and the blazing sun.
Listen to it for 10 minutes here.

More about "The bad beginning"

The Bad Beginning

Unlucky: German Kai Nolting caught his first sea trout in his second cast for this silver bullet of the ocean. It would take three years before he caught the second one! In this article he thinks back and analyzes why this happened and draws some conclusions that may help others be a bit more lucky.
Read Kai's story here.

The Pink Pig - Pattegrisen

A tentacled all-rounder : You have probably heard about and maybe even watched The Pink Panther. If so, you also know the soundtrack. Put that on and take a look to see what a Pink Pig is, and if it has anything in common with the panther or if there is more Miss Piggy in this fly tied for tarpon, bonefish and trout.
To the tying table

Last trip 2007...

Listen up: December is not the month to go fishing for sea trout if you have set your mind on catching anything, but GFF partner Martin Joergensen took another fruitless trip anyway and wound up skunked but with a last podcast for 2007 in the bag.
Listen or download the sounds of December water here.
