Article Cod Jun 1. 1995 Quarry Cod and similar species are a much underrated quarry for the fly fisherman. In places where it's very common like Denmark and Norway, they are even sometimes considered an annoying disturbance in the much 'finer' fishing for sea trout. But cod can be an excellent game for the fisher whose gear and mind is tuned in on it, and the abundance and size of fish can easily justify a more focused fishing for cod.	Article The World's Best Trout Flies May 23. 1995 Book review This is a book that I bought when attending a very well set up fly tying arrangement here in Denmark just after new year, and already at the arrangement I met two of the tyers featured in the book: Oliver Edwards (UK) and Mogens Espersen (Denmark).	Article The landing net for the coast May 12. 1995 Masked I often wonder what US fishers do if they stumble on a really big fish that they want to net. I'm aware that many fishers land many - if not all - of their fish with the hands. I use the hands for all but the largest. But still it must happen that fishers strike on a brown trout or rainbow is much too big for these small snow shoe nets.
Article Production Fly Tying May 10. 1995 AK The fascinating thing about AK is, that you start believing him and that many of his methods make sense. His approach is very personal, and he doesn't try to hide this.	Article Catch & Release May 1. 1995 Not endangered The fish in the Danish sea are in no way endangered by rodfishers. Nets are another story, though, but still fish are abundant, and therefore we Danes almost always bring home fish. Small fish are illegal to catch, but many fishermen release a lot of their catch. But no-kill and pure C&R is not common on the Danish shores.	Article This is Denmark May 1. 1995 Small country Denmark is a small country; the size of Pensylvania, and can by no means be compared to the other and far larger Scandinavian countries; Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.
Article Casting into waves May 1. 1995 Ocean Yes, I actually do cast my flies into the waves! And it's great too, even though I prefer them to be small waves.	Article Rule no. 1 May 1. 1995 Simple 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.	Article Rule no. 2 May 1. 1995 Simple 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.
Article Rule no. 3 May 1. 1995 Simple Fish are where they feel good. That is where one or several factors are present: food, shelter, optimum water conditions, other fish ...and more.	Article Rule no. 3½ May 1. 1995 Simple 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.	Article Where rules meet May 1. 1995 Good Spots 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.
