Bluegrass & Fly Fishing
If you think jazz and fly fishing is a strange combination (that you dig for some reason), you should see this: The Fiddle and Creel, a blog about bluegrass and fly fishing! Described with their own words: Life at the intersection of Bluegrass and Fly Fishing.
The Monkey Wrench
Early in the morning, while the other guys were fast asleep, I snuck out of the tipi. In the arctic mountain lake just outside our tipi, there was a huge mayfly hatch going, and a large brown trout was having an early morning feast. It took my fly on the very first cast, and I… Read more »
Slow day with friends on the lake
A couple of days ago we had a very slow day. Me and a bunch of friends hired two boats and brought food, some wine, rods and a lot of other stuff. I made some cast, got one perch, lost it (a bird stole the fish) and spend the rest of the day with my… 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.

Most nations have their own weird traditions: The Finns have their sauna. As often as they can, the Finns will gather in a red hot torture chamber together with their family and friends. Once inside the the sauna, they start beating eachother with sticks while pouring down way too much vodka, only interupted by ice… Read more »
Where is Trout?
I live in Copenhagen. Last years’ first fishing trip was on Good Friday with my girlfriend Johanna, and my bass player friend Joel. It was a nice and we caught some cod on a spinning rod, so I thought it could be nice to make it an annual event to go fishing on easter, and… Read more »
Between casts – the horror of not catching
This video is basically seatrout fishing in a nutshell. Between thousands of casts you do something else, and this is a short film about that. We all have seen the fantastic, beautiful casts, and all the fat trout followed by faces of happy fishermen. This time we’re skipping all that and show the dark side… Read more »
