"Mullet? Not!" is found here

Mullet? Not!

Listen up: In this the first pocast in months Martin goes scouting for mullet and sea trout after a long summer which has been sunny and calm or cold and windy. It developed into a nice day at the beach with little fishing and no catching at all.
Hear the sounds here.

Skip to "Two for one"

Two for one

Listen up: The follow up to the "Early Morning" pocasts. Not everything works out as planned. The early morning trip planned in the latest podcast worked out to become a full night's fishing - evening and morning. And as a bonus I recorded this podcast on the following trip, so you get a lot more than promised.

Go to "Early Morning"

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...

Find "Not really fishing" on this page

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.

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.

Find "South Platte Podcast" here

South Platte Podcast

Listen up: Colorado’s white winters shouldn’t give you the blues! Follow GFF partner Steve Schweitzer as he and his family fish the snowy Cheesman Canyon. Steve discusses the 4 plights of the river, flies to use, his “On-Air Hat” and how GFF has over-glorified the fishing gods.
Listen to special guests “The Front Street Blues Band” perform live at the end of the podcast.

Go to "A Pateince Game"

A Patience Game

Listen up: This foggy November day Martin is out scouting for rainbows, and even though the podcast starts out with no real subject, it turns into a podcast about patience. He plays the patience game with the fish that aren't there, but finally manages to find a school of small fish.

Skip to "Catch and release podcast"

Catch and release

Listen up: Martin spends some time - almost an hour, actually, and he excuses that - talking about killing fish, releasing fish, fishing ethics, spawning fish, endangered fish, escaped hatchery fish and many other aspects of fishing to eat and fishing to release.
Join him in this podcast

Find "Steve's Summer" here

Steve's Summer

Listen up: This podcast contains highlights from GFF Partner Steve Schweitzer's summer in Colorado, USA. Steve covers various subjects such as the irony of fly fishing and silence, hydration in the mountains, fishing, listening to podcasts and a few other topics.
Listen to Steve thinking out loud here

Find "Anticipation, disappointment" here

Anticipation

Listen up: Another podcast from talking partner Martin. This time about the anticipation and potential disappointment of fishing. You always look forward to going, but know that even though any trip can develop into the trip of a lifetime, it can also become the opposite.
This plus fish and a stomach growling.

Go to "Danish Flies"

Danish Flies

Listen up: Martin talks a bit about the flies he uses and which one would be his first choice if he could bring only one pattern. There's a bit about fly sizes, different types of flies and ways of using them. As usual recorded by the water.

Read more on "At long last"

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.

Go to Distance casting

Distance casting
A newly recorded podcast about distance casting and casting distance, made on the Danish coast by GFF partner Martin Joergensen who talks about casting while he fishes a bit. He also spends of time getting his dog under control (cows on the field behind them!) and loosing a fish.

Go to North Platte, WY

North Platte, WY
GFF partner Steve Schweitzer has brought his sound recorder and his good friend Kurt Legerski to the North Platte River in Wyoming in the pursuit of rainbows. Join them on this sound recording from this April trip - Miracle Mile, Gray Reef, fish, nice music and everything.

Go to Skunked

Skunked
A wise friend of mine once said after a day of unproductive fishing: "That's why it's caled fishing and not catching". True enough. We often fish without catching, and while most of us have come to terms with this, we mostly also want to turn fishless days into fish-rich ones.

Go to Winter fishing

Winter fishing
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.

Go to Getting wet

Getting wet
Global FlyFisher partner Martin Joergensen found a subject for this new podcast in a very uncomfortable way: he fell in! So from the dry front seat of his car in newly changed clothes he this time brings you a podcast on getting wet - or rather: not getting wet.

Go to Crowding

Crowding
Martin Joergensen ponders a bit about crowding and how to avoid anglers congesting in certain spots on the water. His main advice is to walk and avoiding fishing close to parking lots, because anglers seem to find these easily accessible places the most productive.
