Now that winter is here it’s time to spend some dark evenings tying flies for next summer. Here are some of my favorite patterns for the caddis-eating trout in Finland. You won’t fail with these ones! Silicon pupa Hook: short, curved #14-16 Body: anron wrapped around a needle with clear silicone (then dried). Back: black… Read more »

Pimp-my-Rhodes
I envy the guitar players, sax players, trumpet players etc. They can always carry their instrument on the tours. Even Tapani carried his double bass on the JFF tour (it filled half the bus but it was there). With the pianos it’s different. Sometimes you get to play a beautiful Steinway grand and fall in… Read more »
Saxnäs, Sweden
We arrived in Saxnäs. Before heading off to the Ransarån river we had a special gig in a fishing shop. The fishing shop in Kultsjögården was a real treat after a long drive. They served excellent coffee and food right next to the fishing gear. The concert was soon to start when we realized that… Read more »
Lappland Magic

Lappland has been fantastic during the last few days. We’ve caught several remarkable fish, and really gotten close to some serious wildlife. Fresh bear tracks 100m from our tent…… Read more »

Real slow fishing I would say; no rushing around, no fast movements that could spook the shy Northern… Read more »

As usual, we were jamming a lot in the car, and today the repertoire consisted of rock classics like ”Smoke on the Water”, ”Enter Sandman”, ”Back in Black” etc. Fredrik´s singing is fantastic. He is very skilled at coming up with alternative… Read more »
Swingin' at the Skansen
After a good night’s sleep in Kilpisjärvi, we headed for Tromsö and the Skansen café, where we played what must be our best concert so far. The interplay is getting more creative with every concert, and we’re really having a good time with the music now, playing with the songs and challenging each other. Great… Read more »
Even Further North
We woke up very early, took down the tent and forced it to fit in the tent bag. After a hectic day with several hours in the car, we arrived to Harstad for the consert at the Festspillene i Nord-Norge festival. Håvard set a new personal record by talking three hours without a single break…. Read more »
