Jævlig bra Håvard. Mygglarver eller leptonymfer?

Peace

Well I knew that the fishing in Norway is good, but this is ridiculous… Is this really in the middle of Oslo?

Who´s the guy playing Pippi Langstrump in the end credits?
Håvard on May 11th, 2010
Tørrfluemoen: A fluffy Hare´s Ear Nymph – size 14. The upper pond is full of a creature I believe is called Asellus – a small, gray, pre-historic looking crustacean. I guess that´s why the fish grow so fat…
Tapani: Yes, it´s in the heart of Oslo allright!
I discovered this place through some urban fly fishing experiments I did some years ago after reading a great article by Alf Rønneberg and Lars Nilssen about the fishing in central Oslo.
I haven´t fished there for many years, and the fish seem to have grown since then…
The Pippi Langstrump guy: I don´t know. He happened to be playing in the park, and I just really dug the combination of the Swedish lyrics and the English accent. He´s a pretty good musician, too…
I also have to give credit to Roger Arntzen, bass player par excellence (In the Country, Chrome Hill, Ballrogg) and up-and-coming fly fisherman, who came with me on the first day and filmed the first part. I thanked him by mercilessly cutting him out of the film… Sorry, man!
PS! I heard that some people have had trouble streaming the video. That´s because it is in 1080p HD, and it takes a while to buffer it. Let it load for a couple of minutes, and it should work just fine. It also works to turn down the quality to 720p – (bottom right on the player).

I really need to know who that Pippi longstocking guy is!! Who is it? Beautiful trout!

Håvard,
Well done and great meeting you on Sunday! Generally, I like the blog and do hope that we can meet again for a concert or a fishing trip. Best,
Sylvain

I’m struggling to get a name himself, he has played in many cities in Norway, I think he’s Welsh …. in the past he played with his daughter

Og hvor lenge tror du det kommer til å være stor fisk i parken etter at du har fått utløsning for din P.R trang Håvar? Vi snakker om en liten dam med få men store individer, som er unaturlig bitevillige. Og dette midt i Oslo…. Say no more..

Beklager hvis jeg har avslørt ditt hemmelige sted, Maritim. Jeg tenkte som så at dette er et såpass marginalt og pussig fenomen at det ikke var så farlig å “blåse” det. Ørreten i Frognerdammene er jo også behørig beskrevet flere steder, både i artikler og forskningsrapporter.
Dessuten kan jeg ikke se for meg at noen er så gale at de prøver å ete fisk derfra?
Når det gjelder det du sier om PR-trang er du forsåvidt inne på noe. Jeg er med og driver denne bloggen, og en blogg uten lesere er meningsløs. Dette er jo et klassisk dilemma for oss fiskere – vi vil gjerne fortelle om fangstene våre, men det fører jo ubønnhørlig til at folk finner ut hvor man har vært og fisket – på en eller annen måte.
Det er hardt å være fiskermann;)

Really nice Action, Fishing and Filming! Here in Hannover there’s a good River where I caught beautiful Graylings and Trout right in the City as well. Not my ideal, but really Special memories.
Cheers

Beautiful fish Håvard! And the suit jacket is perfect camouflage for the urban trout!

Yes i’m a flyfisher and live still in Berlin and like the idea to go fishing ..

… fishing for “King Aspius” (“Aspius Aspius” in german called Rapfen) .. i’m so … envious.

Hei Håvard!
Urban flyfishing??? Frognerparken er jo langt å landet! Har du prøvd spikersuppa eller fontena på Aleksander Kjellands plass??
Mattis!
