1995

May 1. 1995	Casting into waves	Yes, I actually do cast my flies into the waves! And it's great too, even though I prefer them to be small waves.
May 1. 1995	Rule no. 1	The bottom is a main factor in the ocean. We have no trees, no meandering, no overhanging banks (almost none at least). The water covers it all and above that... the sky.
May 1. 1995	Rule no. 2	The bottom is like the beach. This is not always true, but generally the beach can be used to judge the bottom below the surface.
May 1. 1995	Rule no. 3	Fish are where they feel good. That is where one or several factors are present: food, shelter, optimum water conditions, other fish ...and more.
May 1. 1995	Rule no. 3½	This should actually be rule number 4, but it's still a bit too vague to be so. It is based on my own and a lot of other fishers experiences, but still... Fishing is best when water is going out - and please notice, that this doesn't only refer to tidal movement.
May 1. 1995	Where rules meet	Certain spots provide many positive factors for the fish: exposed coast with mixed bottom, sand and weed covered stones. Variation, shelter and food is here in plenty.
May 1. 1995	What then? How to get on...	Once you have found a place where all these things come together, you still have a lot of water to cover. Luckily you can spot the places that will hold fish on an even smaller scale.
May 1. 1995	The weather	For your comfort when sea trout fishing you'll want a light wind from any direction or a heavier wind blowing away from the shore. Fish will be there in any wind and hard winds will often bring bigger fish that bite harder, but fishing can be tricky and tiring.
May 1. 1995	Changing conditions	Water conditions change from day to day and one location varies from clear, calm water to muddy water with high waves. The fish are there almost no matter what, and often rough weather offer better fishing than a calm surface.
May 1. 1995	The seasons	As all other kinds of fishing, the hunt for sea trout varies greatly through the year. But opposite many other fishing, there's no low season or high season.
May 1. 1995	Summer	Sea run brown trout can be fished in the Baltic during the summer too. Daytime fishing is possible, but evenings, nights and mornings excel.
May 1. 1995	Spring	The spring means activity in the Baltic where the winter fish start eating and the spawning fish return from the streams to the oceans
May 1. 1995	Autumn	Autumn in the Baltic is ideal for catching top condition sea run brown trout, mornings, days and evenings.
May 1. 1995	Winter	Fishing for sea run brown trout in the Baltic during the cold months
May 1. 1995	Tackle	Most Danes fish 7-8 wt. rods and lines. And most use a weight forward floating (WF-F) line or a shooting head. Expect that fairly long casts under difficult (that's mostly windy) conditions can save a day. All salt water flyfishing is done wading, and both waders and warm clothes for almost all seasons are essential.
May 1. 1995	Flies	Most of my flies are relatively simple patterns. The danish salt water fly-fishing demands flies in a lot of categories. Sometimes you can fish a location where the water is crystal clear and the surface is as a mirror, and sometimes exactly the same location is marred by hard wind, heavy waves and water as hot chocolate with marshmellows (yuck!).
May 1. 1995	Strategy	"Points" are generally good landmarks to use as a base for the fishing. Not that there are necessarily more fish there, but as they make good mental holding points. Points are good spots to start fishing and from these landmarks you can make 'excursions'
May 1. 1995	Tactics	A few tips of efficiently covering the water when fishing for Baltic sea trout
May 1. 1995	Proper conduct	There are laws and written rules, but for the benefit of all of us, there are some unwritten common sense and social rules too:
May 1. 1995	Rules & regulations	There are laws in Denmark too, and some of the deal with fishing. The most important ones are these
May 1. 1995	On coloured fish	When the sea trout is in salt water it's normally 'uncolored' meaning shining silvery with a bluish black back. Also the scales are normally many, but loose, and will fall off when the fish is touched. The fish is in an excellent condition, as it is eating all the time.
May 1. 1995	Map of Denmark	Just for your general orientation I've marked out a few good fishing spots.
Apr 20. 1995	Art flies | fly art	There are a couple of new pictures in this section. I have once again experimented with the unknown and hidden beauty in the flies and materials that we use - aspects that can be brought out through computer manipulation.
Apr 20. 1995	Fishing Denmark	An introduction to fishing on the Danish coast.
Apr 20. 1995	Flytyers Masterclass	When you take into consideration the size and volume of this book: large format and app. 250 pages, and the fact that it 'only' deals with 20 flies, it should be obvious that each fly is described in minute details. And it sure is.
Apr 10. 1995	A portable fly tying kit	In the most simplistic terms, a flytying kit must only have the tools and materials necessary to tie the flies you may use on a single trip or a single river. However, like most of us, a travelling flytying kit consumes more space than 26 high-schoolers crammed in a Volkswagen Beetle.
Apr 5. 1995	Micropatterns	With this book you get your moneys worth in weight. The book is a large format book with more than 300 pages. The size alone can make this book a bit scary, and innocent flytyers who leaf through it, will probably be intimidated by the huge volume of information.
Apr 2. 1995	The art of the trout fly	Seriously. This is a book that I like just to touch. The print renders the photos in an excellent quality, and leaves the reader with a feeling that the flies are as textured, translucent and subtle as they actually are.
Apr 1. 1995	How it started	A short story about the book review section.
Jan 1. 1995	Steelhead & the Floating Line - A Meditation	Bob Arnold is undoubtedly one of the most devoted wild Steelhead fly fishers alive today. More importantly, Bob is also undoubtedly one of the Steelhead's greatest proponents.

Dec 29. 1994	Ice cold tubing	As some of you might have noticed from my recent postings I'm becoming more and more fond of my float tube, and this trip would be a tube one too. All my favoutite wading spots are iced down anyway. The weather here has been very cold lately and the fjords, which are normally the water of choice for the winter, are unfishable.
Dec 25. 1994	Brian's gallery	These pictures all feature that master of casting and excellence of the 5 wt. Brian Kjær - honored member of the Bananaflies
Jun 1. 1994	Jan Renier's Gallery	Dutch Jan Renier's pictures
Jan 1. 1994	GFF Gallery	All the oldie pictures from back when GFF was not yet formed and GFF partner Martin Joergensen was running Fishing Denmark.
