Fall Mayfly Extravaganza!

Autumn vs Håvard: 2-2! I had a great fishing session today together with my friend Erlend Welde from Utras.net. We bumped into a huge mayfly hatch – for hours, great clusters of mayfly duns came pouring down the river. Autumn really is underrated. And this time I got some good video material too, so a… Read more »

Autumn vs Håvard: 2-1

Yep! I´ve been away playing for the last ten days, and haven´t fished at all. Back up north again, I went fishing for some ours today together with my friend Vegard Stormo. It was a beautiful autumn day with crisp, clear air and stunning colors, and we had a memorable session with several good fish… Read more »

Autumn, Pop Music and Fly fishing

Maybe you red my last blog a while ago (alone in the wilderness). If you think that it is totally made up, you’re wrong. I actually spend almost a week on my own in the wilderness. The problem is that I didn’t catch anything to brag about. The biggest fish – an arctic char, didn’t… Read more »

Autumn vs Håvard: 2-0

Well, that´s fly fishing… Read more »

Autumn vs Håvard: 1-0

If you answered yes, you are probably a Responsible Fisherman. Those are the opening lines in the press release of the newly opened Finnish fishing… Read more »

Day 3, 4, 5 and 6

11:00 Finally! A river! A river? The lady at the hotel never mentioned any river when I asked her about the map and my planned route. Let’s take care of that problem after some water. I basically fell down to the ground, dropped the back pack and slid down to the water’s edge. After a… Read more »

Jump!

Went fishing yesterday, and it wash´t half bad. Autumn is underrated. I stumbled onto a huge hatch of Bibio pomonae in one of my favorite rivers, and found a couple of really good fish that could´t resist the juicy black bugs, gulping them down at a steady pace. Here are some screenshots from the video… Read more »
