Preben Torp Jacobsen, introduction


The Grand Old Man in Danish fly fishing and fly tying



Prepen Torp Jacobsen passed away on March the 12th 2004.
He will be greatly missed.

His influence on Danish flyfishing and flytying cannot be underestimated.
He was indeed the Grand old Man amongst Danish fly anglers.

We are honered that he wanted to contribute to this site.

Preben Torp Jacobsen is one of the few internationally known fly tyers and fishers from Denmark. He is somewhat a living legend, and a person that most Danish and many foreign fly fishers will know. Torp, who has written several now classic books in Danish on the subjects of fishing and tying a fly, recently published a book in English - "Flies from the Flyleaves of my Diaries" - in which he tells about people and flies from a long life with fly fishing.
Drawing of TorpHaving material from Preben Torp Jacobsen on these pages is an honor. I'm thankful that he wants to participate and thankful to Søren Glerup who established the contact.

Autumn Gallery

Martin Joergensen's favorite time for coastal fishing has always been in the autumn. Only a few things will in his opinion beat a nice September or October day on the coast.

Bonefish biology

This small treatise will introduce you to the parts of its natural history, which are most interesting to fly anglers. Learn about the bonefish habitats, their diet and what other things might help you get a better picture of the ghost of the flats.

Mart's Parachute Ant

During the warmer months of the year, they are just about anywhere... Ants. Martin Westbeek shows an easy way to tie a good ant imitation that will sit well on the surface and hopefully lure trout or grayling.

A Celebration

Personally Martin Joergensen has always carried a certain portion of envy when he leafs through books like this. Why isn't it him who has been to all these classical and historical places? After a while the enjoyment takes over and in the end the contemplation wins as he starts start reading the texts.
