This episode
Since the winter has covered most of the coastal water with ice here in the Baltic and fishing is near impossible, I have taken a walk in an area near Copenhagen, where a stream usually attracts large sea trout during the winter. It's no spawning stream and there's no fishing in the stream, but as you will hear, the place is interesting, and fish will gather here to find fresh water to help them tolerate the cold saltwater in the ocean.

Fish! ...from last year, that is... - This image is from mid-December last year, before the winter kicked in. I\'m standing on the sluice photographing right where the hole in the ice is on the other pictures. None of these fish are smaller than 3-4 kilos or 6-8 lbs!

The sluice - Divus on the sluice - doing what male dogs often do. Notice the bit of open water under the bridge. Birds gather here, and I\'ll bet that you can see fish here on good days. Just not today.

Tie your best strike indicators!

Norwegian Geir Kjensmo has developed a strike indicator with the aim of reducing wind resistance and making easy depth adjustments. As a bonus with these indicators can be fished on very long leaders without the indicator stopping in the top ring of your rod when trying to land a fish.

Discovering the Marbury Lake Flies

If today's tyer wants to tie the Mary Orvis Marbury Lake flies, they would be wise to think 'old school', and transport themselves back to a time when the hooks had blind eyes, the materials were natural, and the flies were colorful and uniquely adapted to the American fly fishing experience by Mary Orvis Marbury and her crew of women tyers.
