My idea was to finish off the season by spending a day or two fishing rainbow trout in a couple of lakes near Gothenburg. But this year the winter came early and there’s no fighting against mother nature. It’s -12 degrees centigrade outside and I guess I must sit down, tie some flies, and wait… Read more »

Music! Music! Music!

Sight Fishing 1 – The Training Day
The water in the Finnish rapids is very murky. It’s almost impossible to see any fish if they are not rising.

Winter
It is a fact that the winter is back again. The days are way to short and the weather is slimy. My hat is itching. Joonas hat is black. Tapani is sad all the time and Håvard is mad. One day it is snowing, and the day after, rain is all you can see. Why?… Read more »
