The Fishing PodcastEp. 16: Flyfisher's Guide to MichiganToday Jon Osborn joins me to discuss his most recent book Flyfisher's Guide to Michigan. We discus how he came to write the book, what the book covers, and his history in the sport of fly fishing. This book is nothing short of amazing. It is an incredibly useful tool, and I highly recommend picking up a copy. 2019-02-011h 16

Global FlyFisher podcastMullet? Not!In this the first pocast in months Martin goes scouting for mullet and sea trout after a long summer which has been sunny and calm or cold and windy. It developed into a nice day at the beach with little fishing and no catching at all.2008-08-3000 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastTwo for oneNot everythig works out as planned. The early morning trip planned in the latest podcast worked out to become a full night's fishing - evening and morning. And as a bonus I recorded this podcast on the following trip, so you get a lot more than promised.2008-05-1500 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastEarly morningI'm planning to go out fishing at sunrise tomorrow, and recorded a few thoughts on how to prepare for such an early morning fishing. I personally have to be very meticulous in my preparations, because if I'm not, I will forget something.2008-05-0800 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastNot really fishing...A very short and almost aimless podcast from a trip to the Danish coast, where I spent most of my time lying down on the beach, relaxing and enjoying the blue sky, the white clouds and the blazing sun.2008-02-1700 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastLast trip 2007...December is not the month to go fishing for sea trout if you have set your mind on catching anything, but I took another fruitless trip anyway and wound up skunked but with a last podcast for 2007 in the bag. Just thinking out loud -- back on the year that passed and ahead on what will come.2007-12-3000 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastCheesman Canyon podcastToday, my family and I decided to drive a few hours to the Cheesman Canyon to hike in and fish the South Platte River. My step-son Kollin (13) is really getting into flyfishing and it is time he got a chance at some big fish. While catching a few fish this day, I discuss a variety of topics including kids fishing, the four plights of the South Platte River, my perfect casting(!), my on-air hat idea, and why GFF has over-glorified the fishing gods. After relaxing streamside with a cup of hot cocoa, we decided to walk out of the canyon...2007-12-0200 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastThe Patience GameThis foggy November day I'm out scouting for rainbows, and even though the podcast starts out with no real subject, it turns into a podcast about patience.
And I play the patience game with the fish that aren't there. I finally manage to find a school of small fish.
My good friend Nils, who joined me that day, proves that the fish were there. While I was just around a bend fishing, he caught a huge rainbow - probably weighing in at 10-12 lbs or 5-6 kilos and measuring a whopping 65 centimeters or some 25 inches. I only saw the picture...2007-11-2400 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastCatch and releaseI spend some time - almost an hour, actually, sorry about that - talking about killing fish, releasing fish, fishing ethics, spawning fish, endangered fish, escaped hatchery fish and many other aspects of fishing to eat and fishing to release.2007-11-1000 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastSteve's summerThis podcast highlights from Steve's summer in Colorado, USA and Steve covers various subjects.2007-10-3000 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastAnticipationAnother podcast! My new recorder has been doing overtime, and I have been fortunate enough to get out enough and have time to record. I'm still struggling with the wind here - both when casting and when recording. So on this podcast you will have quite a bit of noise from the wind - and from my clothes because I'm trying to shelter the microphone - and from my stomach because I'm hungry! How many podcasts have you heard with stomach growling recorded?
And oh yes: there's also a fish being caught on this podcast. That doesn't happen too often.2007-10-2300 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastThe Danish fliesI 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.2007-10-1200 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastAt long lastI managed to get my hands on a great new recorder - a Samson Zoom H2 - and immediately went fishing and recorded the first podcast in months! The podcast was mostly about that: recording again, but also covers the recently held GFF Summit here in Denmark and a few other subjects. I just wanted to get some sound made and get back on the podcast-track, so I beg for forgiveness for my lack of focus.
I will soon create some podcasts more concentrated on one subject as I have done before, and I'm still very open to suggestions for...2007-10-0200 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastDistance castingIn this episode I talk about casting and casting distance - all ignited by the Danish championships in fly casting and a small lawn casting session with friends. And I try to control my dog on a large field of cows, which is not easy.
A bit long this time, I admit, but I hope you forgive me...2007-05-2700 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastNorth Platte RiverJoin GFF partner Steve Schweitzer and his friend Kurt Legerski on a trip to this famous river.2007-04-2800 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastSkunkedLast year this time I still hadn't caught my first fish on my beloved Danish coast. 19 trips without anything took its toll. This year is a bit better, but when this was recorded in February there was very little action, which - combined with the painful memories from last year - was the reason for the theme.2007-03-2500 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastWinter fishingFishing on the coast in the winter is very close to some obscure kind of self torture. There are only vague chances of catching anything, it's usually pretty uncomfortable and you would mostly be better off staying home tying flies. But I defied the elements and last year's experience with 19 (nineteen!) skunked trips in a row in January and February and went fishing in February anyway.2007-02-2500 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastGetting wet - or notAnd trust me: you will fall if you haven't already. A bit of care and preparation in that regard will enable you to continue fishing in spite of having been partly submerged.
I wasn't prepared this day, and because of this I wound up recording this podcast in my car.
So I thought I might as well spend some time pondering about practicalities concerning dives taken in waders and jacket - like "zip your jacket", "tighten the cuffs", "keep your camera and cell phone somwhere dry", "bring dry clothes" and other things that come to mind... once you have been...2007-02-0300 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastBeating the crowdsHow come the best and most productive fishing spots are always close to parking lots?
Mostly because anglers are lazy. Most of us will fish close to parking lots because we don't want to walk. And when many people gather close to the places with easy access, these places automatically become productive - simply because more anglers catch more fish. But it also means crowding and fish that have been fished over again and again.
The best way to beat the crowds is simply to walk. It will lead you away from people and may even show you new and...2007-01-0600 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastMorning fishingA podcast recorded on a quiet October morning on the Danish coast where I, GFF partner Martin Joergensen, talk about getting up early - advantages and drawbacks - porpoises, rainbows in the ocean and a lot of other things of course.
I managed to get out again after his meeting and did even catch fish later that day.2006-12-0700 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastGFF Summit 2006A collection of sound bits from the first Global FlyFisher Summit held on the Danish Island Fyn in September 2006.
We managed to gather quite a few nationalities and had a great time fishing for sea trout in the ocean. And plenty fish were caught too... but as usual not while recording.2006-10-3000 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastNetworkingNetworking with anglers from all over the world has become an important part of many fly angler's lifes. Martin Joergensen uses any opportunity to get together with new fly fishing friends and fish. This podcast is from a small meeting by a Danish stream where an international group had fun with small rainbows, grayling and browns.
So this is both some thoughts about fishing a small stream with a split cane rod, and some thoughts on helping other people getting a better experience when they visit with you.2006-09-2600 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastNight fishingNight fishing for sea trout is one of my favorite types of fishing. In this podcast I take you on a night fishing trip and let you get some of the impressions that I had during the darkest hours of a night on the Swedish coast.
No fish are caught while recording, but the trip was an overall success with 22 fish registered in the journal -- of these 15 sea trout. That was between three anglers, but even though we were night fishing, quite a few of the fish were caught during the day. This an important fact to observe: fish...2006-06-2100 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastKnots and copyrightDuring a trip for sea trout (one caught while NOT recording), I mused a bit about knots and copyright. These two things stick together like peas in a pod here on GFF, because our knot section with text and drawings is the most illegally copied part of the site.
For some reason people seem to think that they can lift article right off our pages and onto their own.
I hate it when that happens!
We spend a lot of time (and money, actually) on building and running the Global FlyFisher, and you are NOT supposed to use ANYTHING from...2006-05-3100 minGlobal FlyFisher podcast1000 garfishA trip to the Danish coast in May means garfish. This particular day was quite windy but sunny and nice most of the time. It started off as an orgy with so many fish that we lost count. Once it settled a bit I started recording to talk about these entertaining and easily caught fish, which run in the millions every spring.
PS: We didn't catch or even see 1000 garfish, but it was the name I gave the folder with the pictures on my computer, and it stuck.2006-05-2300 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastFirst podcast fishFor the first time in the history of the GFF podcasts, I manage to hook and land a fish. And a good one too!
During a trip to Sweden I succeeded in bringing about ten fish to hand, and I thought that this would be the right time to plan for a recording of a fish being landed.
And sure enough. It worked. The last 10 minutes of this recording documents the hooking, fight, landing and release of a 75 cm (30 inches) Swedish sea trout.
There is a bit of Helter-Skelter during the landing where my friend Kasper comes to take pictures...2006-05-0700 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastDriving experienceThis podcast was sparked by extreme gas prices, lots of driving and three guys going in each their car on the same fishing trip.2006-04-2800 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastStrange X-masA small talk about the fly that broke a straight row of 19 skunked trips. Nothing ingenious, nothing really new and nothing exceptional, but obviously a producer.2006-04-1100 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastWindy castingSince I was fishing in quite a wind whis past weekend I thought that a small talk about casting in the wind was in its place.
Contrary to most fly anglers I actually prefer a bit of wind when I fish, and I have tried to teach myself different ways2006-03-2700 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastPackingA small talk while I pack my stuff for a weekend fishing trip. Thoughts about various preparations, practical advice about packing, getting rods, reels and lines ready and bringing fly tying stuff.
Done in my home, including coffee brewing, espresso machine hissing, me gurgling and the whole works!2006-03-2300 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastMaterial shoppingSince it's been freezing like it was winter the last week or so--maybe because it is winter--the fishing has been dead slow. I took my 15th and 16th skunked trips in a row this weekend, and I'm probably going to give up fishing ang start playing golf in stead.
Nah, just kidding!
What to do? Go shopping like any sensible person would do. I went out and bought a few materials, but only a few, because they are sooooo expensive. This is what I'm talking about today.2006-03-0900 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastCasting a shooting headShooting heads give a couple of advantages, which I try to explain in this episode. You can join me on the Danish coast in my usual pursuit for sea trout while I introduce you to the world of shooting heads.
For those not wanting to listen, we're talking distance and effortless casting. And the instructions for making your own shooting heads can be found in the links below.2006-02-2000 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastWadingA trip to the southern coast of Sweden inspired me to do a podcast about wading on slippery surfaces in still and running water. Unfortunately the recorder broke down (drowned!) after a few minutes of recording, so most of the podcast is actually recorded in the harbor of Copenhagen.
PS: I'm sorry about the cell phone noise and the clicking sounds (from my zipper near the microphone) heard in part of the podcast. I have spent some time trying to edit it out, but it can still be heard.
I will make an effort to avoid such sources of noise...2006-02-1500 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastTabou Caddis EmergerOftentimes, when I show the Tabou Caddis Emerger to fellow fly fishers, they comment on how simple it is and buggy looking, "Why didn't I think of that?!...that thing's gotta work!...how buggy...", they comment. Well, they hit the nail on the head with the simplistic bugginess concept, but I claim the pattern really isn't new, I think it's just a new way to tie an emerging caddis with some under-used and relatively unknown materials in my flytying material collection.
A note: This is a video file, so you won't get much fly-tying joy from listening to it...2006-02-0700 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastCold but no iceOn the third GFF podcast takes you can once again go with GFF partner Martin Joergensen to the Danish coast. The day starts out cold and a bit miserable, but apart from the lack of fish it actually turns into a very nice fishing day.
Martin talks about fishing deep and snagging, loosing flies in the backcast and wading on rocks. He also reveals subjects of some of many upcoming articles on The Global FlyFisher.2006-02-0400 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastA winter walkSince the winter has covered most of the coastal water with ice here in the Baltic and fishing is near impossible, I have taken a walk in an area near Copenhagen, where a stream usually attracts large sea trout during the winter. It's no spawning stream and there's no fishing in the stream, but as you will hear, the place is interesting, and fish will gather here to find fresh water to help them tolerate the cold saltwater in the ocean.2006-01-2900 minGlobal FlyFisher podcastFirst GFF podcast everThis first ever GFF podcast takes you with me--GFF partner Martin Joergensen--to the Danish coast on a cold January day.
Listen to the waves. Meet my dog Divus and hear me tell you why it might be a very silly idea to go fishing for sea run brown trout in water, which is almost freezing.2006-01-1600 min
