Northern Exposure

I´m heading up there for 10 days of northern exposure again! Big arctic char and brown trout rising steadily in the magical midnight sun – ahhhhhhhh! I´m super excited!

Magical Summer Days in Lapland

The last couple of weeks, I’ve made several 2-3 days expeditions into undiscovered country up north. Some successful, and some not-so-successful.

Instead we had this strange and fantastic flow of fishing, filming, eating and laughing. Some weird things happened, more about… Read more »

The objective of our little expedition was to hunt for the ultimate Nordic trophy fish – the big arctic char. Ransarån offers excellent fishing for good-sized brown trout and arctic char, but… Read more »

The Tight Lines Quartet Is Dead – Long Live Jazz & Fly Fishing!

When we were in Gothenburg recording our new album, we had a vote and the result was unanimous: The band is no longer called Tight Lines Quartet, but simply Jazz & Fly Fishing. Nobody was using the other name anyway – everyone just called us Jazz & Fly Fishing (we even did ourselves). Jazz &… Read more »
