Seatruttico grande!

For a moment I considered quitting seatrout fishing. I have spent so many hours casting my fly into the huge ocean, most often catching absolutely nothing.

Midnight Halibut

Ahhh, those magical summer nights above the arctic circle… This time, my friends Vegard, Terje and I went for the halibut on the Ofotfjorden, and came back on shore just in time for a couple of beers. Life up north is good this time of year! Music: “Tapdance” (Tapani Toivanen) Performed by Jazz & Fly… Read more »

Magic Lantern is a free, open source update which basically makes the camera able to… Read more »

Sweet Summer

I had a couple of great trips to one the fantastic rivers nearby Gothenburg last week. We had some moments of fantastic fishing on very tricky trout, and I even had my chanses on some sight fishing in shallow water. My lesson learned – never underestimate the eyes of the trout! It may not see… Read more »

Cows & Flies

Another beautiful spring day above the arctic circle. This time, the weather was on my side, and I had a terrific day, catching several beautiful trout on the dry fly while communicating with the local cattle. Cows are much more intelligent than you might think! Czech it: Catch ya later – Håvard Music: “Chanson de… Read more »
