Sitting here in a Motel 8 in Syracuse NY. Thanks for sharing a bit of Denmark, fly fishing and your life. Just the sound of the waves alone are enough to sooth this travel's soul. And the dog...I heard him sneeze. Fly fishing with friends and with "man's best friend"...that is life at it's richest and best. Looking forward to the next podcast.
Thanx for the info. I'm new to tying, but I love it. Nice to have this info at my fingertips. Keep up the good work.
Hello
Nice pic, this is a beautiful Dorado

Hi Martin, superb flies! Do you think I could catch sea brook trouts with these flies in my area : Quebec, Canada (along the Gaspe Peninsula) So far I have not been successful with the flies I am using (brown hackle, Mickey fin, Adams, etc). Thank you for your help.
Your boot article amazed me. I have had the same Borger wading boots for more than 20 yrs. They look worn but the only thing that has ever worn out is the felt which can be resoled. They stay soft and the plastic-leather will never wear out in my lifetime. Only drawback is that they don't come with arch supports. If they were lost I would replace them with their exact replica without a second thought.
I have been to punta allen many times to fish the bay. This article is a good representation of the area. Fun to read and look at. Heading there in 3 weeks again. cant wait. It is a special place and the Mayan people are too! What better bones and permit on the fly!
The Brazilian fishing thing was fantastic. The guy was really enjoying himself.
Interesting discussion, this one. Breathables or neoprene or even old fashioned rubber waders are in my opinion mostly a matter of taste with respect to warmth, if you dress according to their advantages / disadvantages on the inside.
The key issue is the wading boots, since you rarely freeze your legs but almost always freeze your toes.
The boots should have sufficiently thick soles to keep the cold from the ground out. And they should be sufficiently stiff to keep the boot from collapsing during wading, so you loose the insulating layer of air around your feet.

Martin,
Nice idea...I got a kick out of listening to your podcast....remembering the cold water, etc.....looking out of the window into the Souther Californian Sunset.

I think the podcast idea is great. Cant wait to hear some more.
awesome picture west, I fish the sioux as well, or at least i try to.
Always liked the woolybugger but this article has sold me on making better use of it especially for bass and panfish.Wonderfull well written and illustrated.
Bill,
We don't sell flies... or anything for that matter. You will have to tie them yourself.

Hello, I think this is a Brown trout getting some bug, great pic.
I am interested in ordering some of your mini streamers. Do you sell the trout flies you display on this website? How do I order?
Just like to say that this is a great article. My kind of fishing and my kind of fish.
Bass Fisher,
I see no reason why this fine little baitfish imitation should not be able to catch a bass. Give it a try and let ud know!
Martin
HI, can anyone there tell me where and when the matuka originated or any of its history thank you
I was born in Denmark what seems like a LONG time ago to me 1977. In 1980 our family moved to Texes where my dad introduced me to fishing. Nothing big, catfish, if we were lucky! Sure enough We found ourselves up here in the Boston area, where my love for flyfishing took off, leaving me with much guilt to my father who used to tell me of escapment rainbows in the Omme down from where we lived. Looking at this truly wants me to return to my birthland, instead of fishing 5 seasons in the ice cold to catch a brown that "may" be sea-run. Great Page!!!
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
