Weather
The influence of the weather on our fishing

A long winter Brrrr...: This winter has been a long one. We're in the beginning of March, and still the ice is covering much of the coastal water, many lakes and even streams. But Martin usually don't long for spring. Don't worry: It comes no matter what! In the meantime you cn see some pictures here Shoot the weather Better pictures: How do you frame wind? How is snow captured best? How do you protect your camera when you try to freeze a shower into a single image? No, it's not at all easy to get the impression of weather into that piece of mechanics and electronics we call a camera. Check out the pix and tips here
Winter fishing Freezing: No matter which season we are in the fish are there in the water, even in the winter. They do not migrate to Africa along with the swarms of swallows and storks, they just tend to change their location looking for shelter which protects them from the coming frosty, chilly weather and they keep on feeding. Go out and fish for them!	At long last Listen up: GFF partner Martin managed to get his hands on a great new recorder and immediately went fishing and recorded his first podcast in months! The podcast is mostly about that: recording again, but also covers the recently held GFF Summit in Denmark and a few other subjects. Read more, download or listen here.	Waiting for spring Images: GFF partner Martin Joergensen has a severe case of cabin fever. Too much work. Too long winter. Too much wind. Too little fishing. He's really looking forward to fishing on mild spring days as he says in this short piece featuring images from last spring and this winter and early spring. See them here	Winter fishing Listen up: Fishing on the coast in the winter is very close to some obscure kind of self torture. There are only vague chances of catching anything, it's usually pretty unconfortable and you would mostly be better off staying home tying flies. But GFF partner Martin Joergensen went out anyway. Join him here.
Morning podcast Listen up: A podcast recorded on a quiet October morning on the Danish coast where GFF partner Martin Joergensen talks about getting up early - advantages and drawbacks - and a lot of other things of course. He even managed to get out again later the same day and did catch a few fish. Someone's up early here	Danish winter Gallery: When King Winter and the Ice Queen reign over the waters the fishing slows down. What better to do than to get out your camera and snap some pictures of the beautiful landscapes, icy hardship and the rare but well-deserved fish. More winter than anyone can ask for on this gallery page	Autumn Top condition: Autumn is ideal for catching top condition fish, mornings, days and evenings. The fish are typically stuffed with the smallest animals, and small brown/gray flies are therefore best.	Changing conditions Water moving: Water conditions change from day to day and one location varies from clear, calm water to muddy water with high waves. The fish are there almost no matter what, and often rough weather offer better fishing than a calm surface.
Spring All kinds: In the spring all fish are beginning to eat again. The spawning fish return to the sea and all fish leave the fjords. Flies are an excellent way of getting contact with these hungry fish, but spin fishers using larger lures of different kinds can also trap many fish.	Summer Hard fishing at night: Summer is for harder fishing. Late evenings and nights when the water cools off are best. Fish don't migrate any more, but often stay in small areas. You have to fish at these places which typically have deep water close to the shore and a lot of circulation.	The seasons Season is all year: As all other kinds of fishing, the hunt for sea trout varies greatly through the year. But opposite many other fishing, there's no low season or high season.	The weather Light or off shore wind: For your comfort you'll want a light wind from any direction or a heavier wind blowing away from the shore. Fish will be there in any wind and hard winds will often bring bigger fish that bite harder, but fishing can be tricky and tiring.

Endless days Salmon fly fishing in its pure form, in my opinion, what do you think? Recorded in Orkla Norway summer 2011. Hope you like it:) Winter Fly Fishing In some of the world's best trout fishing area, Sun Valley, Idaho, we fish winters just as hard as the summers. This piece is hosted by the one and only John Huber of Ketchum on the fly. This was shot and edited in the winter of 2010. Surf & Inshore Fishing part 3 Really beautiful footage of fishing in real surf! That guy must trust his tripod! There's also some calmer conditions and some nice underwater shots. From Rhode Island and New York during the Fall 2009.

Wind considerations
The wind is an important factor whan fishing the Danish coastline.

Winter
In the real cold winter, the trout has to seek freshwater because it can't tolerate salt due to difficulties with osmotic regulation. Hence the fish are found in streams, estuaries and brackish fjords. For the salt water fisher, the fjords and shallow waters can offer good fishing in the winter.
