Blog from Eco-Rapids #3 Hellau! I´m back from Russia. Here are some interesting videos from our tour in Finland in early June.

News from Russia
Hello from Russia (with love)! My own Håvard Stubø Quartet has been touring in the Ukraine and Russia for some days now. It’s been great, Russia is really somehing else – big and ugly and scary and beautiful and very, very exciting, filled with incredibly friendly and open people. Hopefully we can do a tour… Read more »
Picture gallery from the tour
Blog from Eco-Rapids #2 Here are some more photos from the Finnish tour. There were taken at Eco-Rapids by our guide Antti Härkönen, who is of course a fly fisherman, but also very much into music.

Spring in the Upper Itchen
May 30th: Finally back at the Upper Itchen! As you can see from the video, the ice and snow has just melted, and the colours of the landscape are still very dull. The ground around the river is still frozen, so the water isn´t too warm… But sure enough, once the wind dies down, the… Read more »
Color coding
Maybe the biggest problem on our tours is the amount of gear. Four guys + the producer carry a hell lot of gear. It would be enough with just the fishing equipment, but add the music stuff and the film gear. Rods, reels, lines, cables, power adapters, vests, clothes, computers, fly boxes, floatants, pliers, waders,… Read more »
