Howdy! It’s good to hear Håvard’s still catching trout up north despite the disappearing daylight and descending temperatures. I haven’t unfortunately had too many fishing opportunities lately, but there’s some other nice stuff going on: Last weekend I went to our summer cottage in Central Finland. I installed the software called Magic Lantern to my… Read more »

Fall Mayfly Extravaganza!
Autumn vs Håvard: 2-2! I had a great fishing session today together with my friend Erlend Welde from Utras.net. We bumped into a huge mayfly hatch – for hours, great clusters of mayfly duns came pouring down the river. Autumn really is underrated. And this time I got some good video material too, so a… Read more »
Autumn vs Håvard: 2-1
Yep! I´ve been away playing for the last ten days, and haven´t fished at all. Back up north again, I went fishing for some ours today together with my friend Vegard Stormo. It was a beautiful autumn day with crisp, clear air and stunning colors, and we had a memorable session with several good fish… Read more »
Autumn, Pop Music and Fly fishing
Maybe you red my last blog a while ago (alone in the wilderness). If you think that it is totally made up, you’re wrong. I actually spend almost a week on my own in the wilderness. The problem is that I didn’t catch anything to brag about. The biggest fish – an arctic char, didn’t… Read more »
Autumn vs Håvard: 2-0
Went fishing/filming today. Yr.no, the fabulous Norwegian online weather service, reported sunny weather and no wind (again). This time, they got part of right at least: The day was sunny and strikingly beautiful, but unfortunately also way too windy for the trout to engage in any serious surface activity. Sound familiar? Well, that´s fly fishing… Read more »
Autumn vs Håvard: 1-0
Hi! I´ve started working on a new short film about autumn fly fishing above the arctic circle, and my plan was to go filming today. The forecast said sunny weather and no wind. Yeah right. This is what we got: I will not give in. Yes, I know that resistance is futile, and that autumn… Read more »
Responsibility!
Would you release the meter-long pike you just caught? How about a big seatrout? Do you only fish for species that have a steady population and can take the fishing? If you answered yes, you are probably a Responsible Fisherman. Those are the opening lines in the press release of the newly opened Finnish fishing… Read more »
Day 3, 4, 5 and 6
11:00 Finally! A river! A river? The lady at the hotel never mentioned any river when I asked her about the map and my planned route. Let’s take care of that problem after some water. I basically fell down to the ground, dropped the back pack and slid down to the water’s edge. After a… Read more »
Jump!
Went fishing yesterday, and it wash´t half bad. Autumn is underrated. I stumbled onto a huge hatch of Bibio pomonae in one of my favorite rivers, and found a couple of really good fish that could´t resist the juicy black bugs, gulping them down at a steady pace. Here are some screenshots from the video… Read more »
Katri Helena, The Grand Lady of Finnish music entertainment, competes in fly fishing
I had to pinch my arm twice, check out it wasn’t 1st of April, and run a virus control on my computer when I saw this headline on the Finnish news: Katri Helena took place in the womens’ fly fishing championships in Finland. For any Finn, Katri Helena is the face of adult oriented schlager… Read more »
