RISE was Nice!
The European part of the RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival 2011 is over and on behalf of all of us in Jazz & Fly Fishing, I want to say thanks to Nick for including our Season One preview in the festival. I attended the Oslo show, and it was certainly a night to remember, with… Read more »
Jazz, no fly fishing
My idea was to finish off the season by spending a day or two fishing rainbow trout in a couple of lakes near Gothenburg. But this year the winter came early and there’s no fighting against mother nature. It’s -12 degrees centigrade outside and I guess I must sit down, tie some flies, and wait… Read more »
Sight Fishing 1 – The Training Day
The water in the Finnish rapids is very murky. It’s almost impossible to see any fish if they are not rising. That’s why for me, one of last summer´s most memorable events was when we found this place with water that’s as clear as the Finnish vodka Koskenkorva! And to make matters more exciting, once… Read more »
Casting a Shadow: An Exploration of Technique
I was recently made aware of an exciting new development in fly casting from the gentlemen here at Jazz & Fly Fishing: The NEW, IMPROVED J&FF Shadow Cast. This cast takes the signature technique from A River Runs Through It in a completely new direction, and serves to finally tie together the broad, sweeping strokes… Read more »

Never Underestimate the Power of the Shadow Cast
Tapani´s recent Shadow Cast video really hit the spot! It´s been picked up by lots of blogs and websites around the world. Sadly, a lot of people worldwide seem to misunderstand this new, improved Shadow Cast. It is not a joke. And it certainly isn´t a parody. It is a really serious cast, made by… Read more »
The Curse
Fly fishing can really make you superstitious. While Tapani, Joona and I had One Magical Day of flyfishing, Fredrik couldn´t catch anything, and got really frustrated. And that´s not normal. Fredrik is a highly skilled flyfisherman, and more often than not, he´s the one who catches the big one. So there was definitely some strange… Read more »
Cod Kiss Goodnight
Joona and Håvard had no idea what kind of kiss goodnight they were going to get on this beautiful July night in northern Norway when Fredrik and I stayed up for couple of casts. Music: All Lights On by Joona Toivanen / Jazz & Fly Fishing
One Magical Day
Some days are better than others. It´s a fact. And this July day somewhere on Nordkalotten was better than most. With huge hatches of all kinds of insects and big, rising fish all over the place, this is the stuff that winter dreams are made of. Music: “Kivran!” (H. Stubø) Performed by Jazz & Fly… Read more »
