Tapani's birthday
Exactly 28 years ago a small, wrinkly and very blond creature cried loudly for the very first time. A child was born, and he was born to be a bass player and a fisherman. Never could his academic parents (neither of them play music or fish) have guessed that this would be his path of… Read more »
The Curse
Fly fishing can really make you superstitious. While Tapani, Joona and I had One Magical Day of flyfishing, Fredrik couldn´t catch anything, and got really frustrated. And that´s not normal.

Finnish Nonsense
Blog from Eco-Rapids #3 Hellau! I´m back from Russia. Here are some interesting videos from our tour in Finland in early June. The first one was made by Fredrik, who stole my camera and made this epic masterpiece entiteled Karja while I was searching desperately for the camera, thinking I´d forgotten it somewhere along the… Read more »
Restless in Ransarån
Tapani and I just came back from the legendary Ransarån. Terje Storsten, a great bass player/fly fisherman came with us on the trip. 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 »
