Four Guys – Four Million Mosquitoes

Our gig in Kalott Jazz, Tornio, went really well. Lots of screaming happy people that actually wanted us to sign our fresh-sounding EP. We did not have time to stay to long though, since we were in a hurry to the next fishing trip. Joona, Håvard and Tapani drove the bus while I tried to play the guitar and sing crappy tunes. It worked, and finally we reached Kilpisjärvi. The helicopter took off 20 minutes later and… off we go. After the landing we walked for about 3 hours while preparing the rods. The first cast resulted in a huge grayling, by the way an excellent fish for cooking. Next cast, another grayling in the same size. Next cast – another big grayling… and so on. The top fish off the trip was 62 cm! We lost count on how many huge grayling we caught. Between the fanatic fishing-sessions, we rehearsed some new tunes – Jazz played live in the wilderness and some whisky to keep up the beat. After two days, casting on the same spot, we got tired off all the graylings. It was too easy. Life can be cruel sometimes. Then the weather became windy and cold as ice. We made a very nice fish soup and headed up to catch trout and char… Wrrrrrr…
