We´re Off!

Posted by by

10 glorious days of jazz and fly fishing in France and Poland lie ahead, and right now I´m packing up my gear. Heaps of instruments, fly fishing gear and video gear on top of all the regular necessities – there is just way too much stuff floating around. Anyway, we´ll try to keep you guys posted as we move along. Don´t really know how the internet connection is going to be, but we´ll do our best. Joona has made the master plan, which includes several concerts, serious fly fishing, a day in a recording studio and of course lots and lots of filming. Stay tuned!

Norwegian Road Trip

Posted by by

Me and my brother-in-law had a spontaneous trip to Norway for a week ago. We took the car from Gothenburg, Sweden, headed against Norway and drove as far as we could in one evening. Then we rented a cabin and went fishing, drove around and enjoyed the always-so-stunning Norwegian scenery. If you haven’t been on a road trip in Norway, you should go. Highly recommended!

New Kid In Town

There´s a new kid in town!
Vak is a brand new Norway-based webmagazine, dedicated to the fine art of fly fishing and the sophisticated lifestyle that goes with it. As I´m writing this, the site has only been available for an hour or two, but it´s already full of high quality content. Go figure…

Most of the pieces are written in Norwegian, but there are quite a few in English, too, and I´m told there are more to come. So keep a close eye on this one – it shows some serious promise. And in case you forget to check it out, we´ll let you know when they have some particularily interesting stuff cooking.

Wedding man is back in town

Posted by by

Hello! I’m back again. Have been quite busy the second half of the summer. One of the reasons is that I got married. Actually not only me, my wife also got married. Two is now one. From now on I can never fish or play again.

When I entered our blog after some weeks of “not-checking-and-working-with-the-blog-because-fixing-and-trixing-with-the-wedding”, I noticed that many people had been sending exceptionally good shadow cast-videos! Very nice to see! Many brand new and progressive casts! I’m very curious to see more variations of  the shadow cast and what they will look like. The shadow cast will make the long winter a bit easier, keep up the good work!

I guess there are many guys and girls out there that do feel that they have a natural talent when it comes to the shadow cast, but they just don’t know how to start. Here is a great advice, if I may say so; when creating a new shadow cast – always ask your self this: has anyone ever done this before.

If not – make the cast and record your self! I it is done before – make the video anyway!

Early this summer, me and two friends went to northern Sweden for one week. We had a very nice time, caught several nice fish and chilled out in the nature, far far away from cities, wedding-planning and traffic lights. For those of you who every now and then gets stressed and tired – take a break and go into the wilderness, it really makes you… reborn, I guess you could say. Here are some pictures from that hike! /Fredrik
