Some Screenshots

Here you go. Some screenshots from some new video material, shot by Arne Mobakken and myself. Videos will start coming when autumn turns into winter. In August, Arne and I made a couple of really good fishing trips:  One to a newly discovered river high up in the mountains, and one to one of my… Read more »

Fall Mayfly Extravaganza!

Autumn vs Håvard: 2-2! I had a great fishing session today together with my friend Erlend Welde from Utras.net. We bumped into a huge mayfly hatch – for hours, great clusters of mayfly duns came pouring down the river. Autumn really is underrated. And this time I got some good video material too, so a… Read more »

Lucky 7

Hellau! Just back from the mountains after a half-day fishing trip. I was hoping to get some solo-filming done, but it was a little bit too windy up there – you need perfect conditions to make the solo-filming thing work. Still, the fishing was pretty good, and I caught 7 good brownies and arctic char… Read more »

Delay (and 5 shots)

The fish, especially easy scared char, usually takes the fly every time. The difficult part is to present the fly so that the char (or trout) wont get suspicious. That… Read more »

Arctic Char Video on Lars & Lars

Hi! Lars Nilssen´s video from Savalen (the place where I filmed the huge schools of spawning arctic char you saw in this post) is out on VGTV now. There is some J&FF material in there, too: a totally hysterical scene that our good friend Arne shot with his compact still camera. The scene features me… Read more »

Fall, Thy Name Is Melancholy

Today, I started going through my photos from this summer. The summers in Lapland are just so desperately short, and it breaks my heart that the next season up there is well over half a year away. Amidst all the pictures from this summer´s more successful fishing trips, I found some pictures that puzzled me… Read more »

Tough Love, Arctic Char Style

Hi! I´m in beautiful Savalen, Norway, investigating the secret sex life of the arctic char together with my friends Lars Nilssen (www.larsoglars.no, VGTV) and Morten Kraabøl (fish scientist from NINA). Nilssen got some incredible shots today! For those of you who aren´t familiar with Lars Nilssen´s work, he is the man in Norwegian fishing film,… Read more »

Plan & Pack

At the end of next week we’re going off for the fishing trip of the year. We are heading for a week in the wilderness, at one of Håvard’s secret places that is supposed to be packed with huge arctic char and trout. Håvard’s been there before and he has told a lot about the… Read more »
