GFF Webauthor and coowner Martin Joergensen

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: Favorite Dad In Virginia, the rivers are full of crayfish. Author Michael Smith AKA Rybolov went last week to the South Fork of the Shenandoah, and in a meter-square area along the shoreline, there had to be at least 30 crayfish. That may be why Skip's Dad works so well there. Picture galleries Section: The art of fly fishing and fly tying in photos BC in B/W GFF partner Martin Joergensen recently returned from a trip to British Columbia. Although he has promised to write up some text about the trip, his pictures are just too pretty to stash away for much longer. A lot more will follow. Strange X-Mas Minnow, sand eel, fry. This little fly will imitate most small, transparent fish. Based on a now-classical Danish sea trout fly with an added zonker strip, there is little new under the sun. But it does catch fish as pictures in the article will show you. Slideshows This new feature allows you to see a lot of the many great picture series on GFF as automatic slide shows. Select a show and just lean back and enjoy a virtual adventure from somewhere around the world. Pictures from many of our articles can now be seen as slideshows.

A few random articles for your entertainment TV-tying station A tying station is a small, mobile board where you can set up your vise and your tools, making it quick and easy to move your favorite tying spot around: from the dinner table to the TV to the office to... the bed? This article gives you some ideas on how to make one. February 7th 2006 A Passion for Steelhead Dec Hogan is well known in the fly fishing world as a master of the two-handed fly rod, but until I picked up "A Passion for Steelhead" I did not know much about Dec Hogan the angler. 313 pages later, that surely has changed. December 5th 2006 The Strange Christmas Tree Minnow, sand eel, fry. This little fly will imitate most small, transparent fish. Based on a now-classical Danish sea trout fly with an added zonker strip, there is little new under the sun. But it does catch fish as pictures in the article will show you. April 11th 2006 The Wiggling Jigging Worm Maybe you found the previously published tandem rag worm too tandemnised and would be better off with a one-hook-only fly.Then The Wiggling Jigging Worm shown in this article is a good alternative.
