Cold but no ice

A foggy February day turns in to a perfectly beautiful sunny day. But no fish want to play.

Your host
Martin Joergensen

This episode
On the third GFF podcast takes you can once again go with GFF partner Martin Joergensen to the Danish coast. The day starts out cold and a bit miserable, but apart from the lack of fish it actually turns into a very nice fishing day.

Martin talks about fishing deep and snagging, loosing flies in the backcast and wading on rocks. He also reveals subjects of some of many upcoming articles on The Global FlyFisher.

    GREAT!

    Hi Martin,

    I love this new medium. Togehter with the pictures it is as if I am back at your beatifull coastline. The sound of the waves, the walking on the rocky beaches, the sound of casting the rod, the ratling of the shootingline-shootinghead connection throught the guides. Just perfect.

    Can't wait to return to your lovely country.

    The Magnus

    Classic: Magnus is a 'classic' on the Danish coast. This small anonymous fly and its very similar brothers the Frede, Sandshrimp and many others, are probably the most catching flies on the coasts of Denmark. The eyes and the palmer hackle are the prime characteristics of the Magnus, which is mostly used in clear water. Go to the story

    Opossum

    Patterns: A simple fly for sea trout. Go to the story

    Tying Furled Flies

    Hanley's pragmatic and productive approach to a specific tying method: using furled pieces of material to create elongated shapes of different kinds. Used to tie all types of flies from mayflies over large damsels to small fish. Richly illustrated with great tying and fishing pictures.

    The Source - Iceland

    For people who don't know Iceland this is a fabulous introduction to this fairyland fishing destination. For the rest of us it's a testament to how good the fishing can be on the volcanic island in the Atlantic.

    Mayfly Madness

    Very nice and cozy video journey together with Swedish anglers Johan Klingenberg and Ulf Börjesson in the pursuit of brown trout in the streams of southern Sweden during three seasons of mayfly hatches.

    CDC Mayfly

    A small mayfly, which may be (mis)taken for a dun during the sometimes the concentreted hatches on late August and Septemper evenings. It uses a hollow extended body, parachute hackle and wings of cdc stems to float high.
