Frantic Summer Days

Hi! In between fishing trips right now, trying to make the most out of the way-too-short summer above the arctic circle. As ususal, the fishing has had its ups and downs, with everything from huge hatches and big, steadily rising fish to weeks with gale force winds from the north and very crappy fishing.

Big Mayflies, Big Trout and Big Horses

  Ahhh. Sometimes, life above the arctic circle is just so… good. Sunny weather, green fields, snowcapped mountains, and huge amounts of Ephemera vulgata mayflies hatching. What more can you ask for? I only caught one single fish today, but it was a really good one, a 2,4 kg (5,3 lb) wild brown trout on… Read more »

New video: Eternal Summer

Greetings! A brand new video with autumn dry fly fishing: Later – H.

The Maggots

Two weeks ago, Norway´s first award show dedicated exclusively to fishing was held for the first time at Riksscenen in Oslo. Gullkroken (The Golden Hook) was a great success, and the theatre was jampacked with happy people (mostly men, unfortunately). Gullkroken was also the debut of The Maggots, a group of musicians/fishermen that was put… Read more »

Ant Season

Hi, everyone! Are you still fishing or have you already decided to wait for the spring? In the Nordic countries the temperature is quite low by now. While the Australian fishermen have a temperature of around 25 degrees, we have around 5 here in Southern Sweden. Up North it is way colder. So, what fly… Read more »

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

Went fishing/filming today. Yr.no, the fabulous Norwegian online weather service, reported sunny weather and no wind (again). This time, they got part of right at least: The day was sunny and strikingly beautiful, but unfortunately also way too windy for the trout to engage in any serious surface activity. Sound familiar? Well, that´s fly fishing… Read more »

Autumn vs Håvard: 1-0

Hi! I´ve started working on a new short film about autumn fly fishing above the arctic circle, and my plan was to go filming today. The forecast said sunny weather and no wind. Yeah right. This is what we got: I will not give in. Yes, I know that resistance is futile, and that autumn… Read more »
