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 »

Tapani's birthday

Exactly 28 years ago a small, wrinkly and very blond creature cried loudly for the very first time. A child was born, and he was born to be a bass player and a fisherman. Never could his academic parents (neither of them play music or fish) have guessed that this would be his path of… Read more »

Urban Trout Spawning in Oslo

The Lost One

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.
