The Danish flies
Podcast episodes
I take the chance to talk a bit about flies and ponder upon which one would be my first choice if I could bring only one pattern. There's a bit about fly sizes, different types of flies and ways of using them.
As usual recorded by the water, but with very little fishing and no catching... as usual.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

Christopher,
Going for sea run browns in the ocean is something very Danish, which mainly takes place in the Baltic sea and the local Danish belts and sounds. It's my impression that a lot of this fishing has to do with the shallow, brackish waters we have, and my impression is that other places that have sea running browns - like the UK and Ireland - have very little fishing for these fish in the ocean.
This might have to do with the salinity, the way the fish feed, the depth or whatnot. I don't know. My guess would be that going for the sea runs in the estuaries or in fjords and bays with fresh water outlets would be the way to attack it. We're not allowed to fish in the estuaries, but fish do concentrate where there are spawning streams nearby.
Hope this helps you - and let us know how you do.

Martin,
I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and I pursue the elusive sea trout on a regular basis. I have been lucky enough to catch some beautiful fish up river during the late summer months but so far the fish have eluded me when they are at sea. The locals here catch them on all sorts of things when they come in with the tides into estuaries and tidal pools.
That's great, but I am far more interested in the Danish way of doing things. Catching sea-run browns in the salt water just seems so appealing to me. Do you always fish just outside of where fresh-water deposits into the ocean or woud you perhaps walk down miles and miles of isolated shorelines?
Our water may be a little deeper than denmark, this may be an issue...

Hallo Martin,
I was quite surprised to be mentioned in your podcast. You are correct, Matthias is German, not "Matthias" like your - cool - american pronounciation. I am living with my family since 8 years in San Diego, SoCal. One of the things we definitly do not have here is Sea Trout fishing like I used to do it just south of the Danish Border near Flensburg. We do have fly fishing though, for several kind of bass and halibut and - small - bonefish, both in the bays and in the inshore kelp beds and beyond that we have the Pacific with all the possibilities. Changes of Latittudes, Changes of Attitudes...you could say.
Cheers and keep up with the good work,
I always like to check in on your website.
Matthias
