Hi! I just came back from the Swiss Alps near a very nice town called Le Chable. It was my first time there and I was truly amazed by the beautiful mountains. The reality actually beats the postcards this time. The highest peak is called Mont Forte and it peaks at 3300m, and the route… Read more »

Active week!
I’m moving in three weeks. Very soon I’ll live very close to a nice lake with access to beautiful fishing spots and huge running-areas. I can’t wait much longer. But right now it is a bit messy at home. All over the apartment there are stuff. With stuff I mean things like chairs, pillows, underwear,… Read more »

Älvräddarna – Saving Our Rivers
We need energy. That´s a fact. In the Nordic countries, we are blessed with lots of different energy sources, providing plenty of energy for the Nordic market. That´s why you can still find some free-flowing rivers up here. Not many – most of the big rivers were developed and ruined long ago – but a… Read more »
J&FF Eco Manifesto – and some practical views on catch & release
We´ve gotten lots of feedback on our Season One Sneak Peek video. The overwhelming majority of the feedback has been very positive, but some viewers have reacted strongly to the killing of fish in the video. All members of J&FF are very conscious about environmental issues, and since all the fish shown in this video… Read more »
Music for cold winter nights
Here are some of my favorite jazz albums that are just perfect during the cold, dark winter nights. Accompanied by a glass of vintage port or a smoky whisky, these create the perfect mood for a fly tying session. Enjoy! Joni Mitchell: Both Sides Now A stunningly beautiful album with a big orchestra. Joni’s singing… Read more »
