Danish? Ain't that something you eat?
I am one of the creators and web masters of The Global Fly Fisher. The other originator is Steven Schweitzer. and we partner together with Bob Petti and Bob Skehan, who originated the Raske's New England Streamer Page, now merged into GFF.
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark (That's København, Danmark in Danish). Just for your information; Denmark is that little country in Scandinavia, just north of Germany. We brought you H.C.Andersen, The Little Mermaid, Danish pastry, a real queen (Magrethe II) and many other things. And we offer some of the world's best fishing for sea run brown trout both in fresh and salt water.
Serious (and relevant according to my friend Henning) facts:
- I'm an avid fly tyer and fly fisher
- I have written articles in Danish and International fishing and fly tying magazines
- I have contributed to fly tying and fly fishing books in both Danish and English
- I have tied at shows in Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands and the US
- I have spoken on many occasions in clubs both home and abroad
Off beat facts:
- I'm a computer and Internet freak - and proud of it
- I raise chickens for eggs, feathers and meat (that priority)
- I'm a biologist (Still short of a theses, though), specializing in arctic meiofauna
- I'm an avid cook cooks for the family 9 out of 10 meals
- I'm a sucker for cold weather I love winter fishing
- I use a Surgeons loop for 90% of my flies. Second comes the Trilene knot third the Palomar.
- I use Drennan Double Strength for all my tippets
- I use home made furled leaders for much of my fishing. These are *not* braided, but furled AKA twined. Lately the old fashioned knottede leader has regained popularity, though.
- I relax in front of my computer making this web site on fly fishing and fly tying together with Kasper Mühlbach, Steve Schweitzer, Bob Skehan, Bob Petti, and contributors from all over the world.
- I also read piles of books.
- I try not to go fishing without my Lawrence Waldron ceramic hook sharpener

Did you find the above interesting? | People who looked at the above also looked at these pages:
The most sought after pattern on GFF's search page is John Barr's more than excellent nymph pattern the Copper John. Martin Joergensen describes his version here: how to tie it and fish it. And adds its hillbilly kin the much simpler Copper Joe.
Take more than one day off for fly-fishing in Bavaria. The waters are outstanding and you have so many options! That's the advice of Tobias Renkawitz in this article about Rudi Heger's trophy trout and grayling waters on the Traun in the Southern part of Germany and in Austria.
Chuck-n-duck fishing isn't for everyone. Morality aside, it is an effective angling technique, one worth learning if you find occasionally find yourself in a situation where drifting a nymph along the bottom of a distant lie is the difference between catching and casting practice.
Awhile back, I received a shipment of hen necks and saddles from Whiting Farms. The saddles struck me with their intense colors and solid web, then necks with their stem length and shortish barbs. These feathers were perfect for the wet flies I was working on.
