16th of june was booked since a couple of weeks back. Me and Fredrik found one single night we were able to go fishing together. It turned out to be a very beautiful evening as we arrived to the coast at sunset. Our friend Joel joined us and we were looking forward to the night… Read more »
Me and Fred went seatrout fishing a couple of days ago. It was a very strange evening! Right after the trip and a couple of beers later Trout Slap was born. To be watched with a glass of well chilled rosé wine. Enjoy! Music: Whistling: Katson Autiota Hiekkarantaa by Veikko Samuli/Juha “Watt” Vainio/Katri Helena Bossa… Read more »
I’m sitting in a café in Northern Sweden, charging some batteries, ready to take off and meet Tapani and Håvard who already have started our northern expedition this year. The apple pie was pure excellence and the coffee is strong. Good stuff! I left Gothenburg alone this time, as Fredrik had to skip the trip… Read more »
As a reply to Fredrik’s hilarious description of our 1st of April trip, I will now post some photos in behalf of my new alter ego Ponza Luvainen. Pontza indeed has vodka in his vains and that makes him immune to the cold water and wind. When others lied in the sun and warmed their… Read more »
After a long, dark winter things are finally starting to look better. Today it’s vernal equinox, and the lighter 6 months are ahead of us!

Since most lakes and streams are still frozen solid up here, early spring fly fishing in Scandinavia usually means fishing in the ocean for… Read more »
For a moment I considered quitting seatrout fishing. I have spent so many hours casting my fly into the huge ocean, most often catching absolutely nothing. But then – when you really hit the spot, as me and Fredrik did the other night, all those hours all of a sudden don’t mean anything (even waders… Read more »
It has been a hectic week. Lot of planning, practicing, running and actually also some fishing. Yesterday I played at a very strange but at the same time very nice party. The evening ended like this: Status Quo entered the stage… ! A couple of days ago I received a brand new rod from Guideline!… Read more »
With more than a little help from Norwegian fly fishing legends Lars Nilssen and Lars Lenth, who run the excellent flyfishing blog larsoglars.no, I found trout! Smøla is the place. It is a totally flat and stunningly beautiful island on Norway´s western coast. The island has lots and lots of small watersystems, and most of… Read more »
Since we have had so much hard time finding the trout lately, I thought it would be a good idea to remind ourselves what it looks like. Here’s one from Bardu, Norway. Music by Jazz & Fly Fishing.
