First podcast fish

The sound of catching a large sea trout

Your host

This episode
For the first time in the history of the GFF podcasts, I manage to hook and land a fish. And a good one too!

During a trip to Sweden I succeeded in bringing about ten fish to hand, and I thought that this would be the right time to plan for a recording of a fish being landed.
And sure enough. It worked. The last 10 minutes of this recording documents the hooking, fight, landing and release of a 75 cm (30 inches) Swedish sea trout.

There is a bit of Helter-Skelter during the landing where my friend Kasper comes to take pictures and help. Some Danish is spoken too, but everything is there for you to enjoy.

Just wanted to congratulate you on your wonderful website and particularly your podcasts. I don't get to fish as much as I would like to and listening to one of your podcasts on the bus on the way to work is a great distraction from the rigours of urban life. Congratulations to your team and keep up the good work. Many Thanks.

Danish Pastry Fly

Simple Fly: This fly recently changed its name from The Copper Camel to The Danish Pastry Fly for reasons that are revealed in the article. It's an efficient and simple pattern for sea trout, but is very likely to be just as able to catch bass, bonefish and many other species. See Martin Joergensen's pattern here.

Merry Christmas

Holiday: The Global FlyFisher staff wishes everybody a very merry Christmas - and a happy New Year if we don't see you before then. A Christmas Fly saw its way into Martin's fill-the-box-project. A slightly more colorful variation of his usual drab and dull flies. See a bit more about it here.

The measure tape doesn't lie

10-20-30-40 meters? 30-60-90-120 feet? How long can you cast with a one hand rod? And how long does and average fly-angler actually cast? GFF partner Martin Joergensen has done some research and talked to some experts.

Rio Piratos

Rio Lagartos is a small town on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico which is an excellent starting point for a tarpon trip. GFF partner Martin Joergensen's trip there didn't bring the big 100 lbs. tarpon, but many decent ones - plus the odd jack and snook.

Tube Fly Styles and Patterns

Tube flies - like most other fly types - come in as many shapes and styles as you can imagine. This article merely scratches the surface in an attempt to list some of them. I also touches upon a few aspects of tying one tubes.

10 Ways to Fish Green

Fly Fishers are the original "green" advocates. We are active in conservation. We advocate catch-n-release. We support stocking programs. We even save the lives of bait(!) But there's more we can do.
