Ahhh. Sometimes, life above the arctic circle is just so… good. Sunny weather, green fields, snowcapped mountains, and huge amounts of Ephemera vulgata mayflies hatching. What more can you ask for? I only caught one single fish today, but it was a really good one, a 2,4 kg (5,3 lb) wild brown trout on… Read more »

Street Life
Still cold in southern Sweden and fly fishing has to wait. Me and Freddy are planning a fly tying session soon. The boxes need to be filled for the upcoming JFF adventures. There will be a trip to a secret location in Scandinavia in the summer and also some saltwater fishing for something else than… Read more »
Friday Jazz: Goran Kajfes "Sand Boogie"
Hellau! So far, J&FF´s Friday Jazz has presented music from the 50s, 60s and 70s, so I guess it´s about time we give you some contemporary sounds. In 2010, the brilliant Swedish trumpeter/composer Goran Kajfes released a great album called X/Y. The opening track, called Sand Boogie, is a real knockout: it has one of… Read more »
Stomach Flu in Gothenburg
Hellau! Just back from Gothenburg, where we recorded the soundtrack for our upcoming DVD (working title: Season 2 – F***ed for Life) and did some additional shooting – interviews and such. Despite Fredrik and me getting sick with some kind of stomach flu that we probably got from Joona (thanks, man!), we were highly productive… Read more »
Friday Jazz: John Coltrane Quartet "Resolution" Live!
Hi, and happy new year! Let´s be honest: January sucks. At least in the northern hemisphere. It´s cold and boring. And at 68°26.3028′ N, where I´m sitting as I´m writing this, it´s pretty damn dark, too. And everybody´s flat broke, hung over and fat after Christmas´ insane excesses. Well, at least things are moving in… Read more »
Friday Jazz: Miles Davis "Call It Anything"
Hi! We have a brand new column for you today. It´s called Friday Jazz, and the concept should be quite self-explanatory. For this first edition of Friday Jazz, we´ve found a real treat for you: Miles Davis´ legendary performance at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970. The 38-minute performance took place in front of… Read more »
Fighting the robots
Some of you might have noticed that our site was down during a couple of days the last weeks. We were attacked by mean internet hacker robots, probably sent to us by our competitors at deathmetalandjerkbait.com. No hard feelings, we’ve survived the crash and are up and running again. However, please report if you experience… Read more »
New video: Eternal Summer
Greetings! A brand new video with autumn dry fly fishing: Later – H.
The Maggots
Two weeks ago, Norway´s first award show dedicated exclusively to fishing was held for the first time at Riksscenen in Oslo. Gullkroken (The Golden Hook) was a great success, and the theatre was jampacked with happy people (mostly men, unfortunately). Gullkroken was also the debut of The Maggots, a group of musicians/fishermen that was put… Read more »
One man, one piano
Howdy! One night about a year and a half ago I was sitting in my rehearsal room, playing through my old sketchbooks. I have piles of those music sheets with small phrases, ideas, tunes, and I’ve basically written down this music stuff since I was a teenager. I found a lot of stuff I had… Read more »
