You’ve already seen what happened during One Magical Day this summer. We experienced very heavy caddis hatches and caught lots of beautiful trouts on dry flies. While we others were catching trout after trout, Fredrik was hit by some sort of Curse. The fish neglected his flies and he was very unlucky this day. The… Read more »

President Kekkonen and the album
We’ve been working intensively on the Jazz & Fly Fishing album the last couple of weeks. Me and Fredrik finished the last overdubs and the tunes are now being mixed.

Patriot flies
I’m from Sweden, the small country far far away up north. Our neighbors are Finland and Norway. If I go to Norway, it is possible to buy (almost anywhere) “the book about stupid Swedes”. If Norwegians go here to Sweden they can buy the same book but with the very different name “the book about… Read more »
Rapala
I’ve been fishing as long as I can remember. I didn’t always used to fish with a fly though. Being finnish, I grew up with Rapala, probably the single most effective fishing lure there is. They still catch good fish.

Miles and More
To be quite honest, I´ve never liked the autumn. Sure, it´s pretty and everything, but there´s something really gloomy about it. Spring is like 6 months away. Well, there´s not much we can do about that. However, autumn is a very good time to read books. This is what I´ve been reading lately: Miles Davis… Read more »

The Curse
Fly fishing can really make you superstitious. While Tapani, Joona and I had One Magical Day of flyfishing, Fredrik couldn´t catch anything, and got really frustrated. And that´s not normal. Fredrik is a highly skilled flyfisherman, and more often than not, he´s the one who catches the big one. So there was definitely some strange… Read more »
