I’ve been sick now for about a week. It didn’t stop me from fly fishing or playing jazz. Last week I went to Germany with a traditional jazz-band. Man, germans really do know how to treat a musician – always friendly people over there I have to say! Then, back in Sweden with fever, two… Read more »

Dark Days At the X
Ever since we started Jazz & Fly Fishing, I´ve been teasing the other guys in the band with a place called the X. I´ve told them that the X is probably the best place in Scandinavia for big trout and big arctic char. From time to time, I´ve shown them blurry pictures of happy, non-J&FF… Read more »
Farewell to Keihärinkoski
We usually don’t post and link other than stuff in English, but after reading a fantastic Finnish blog post about Keihärinkoski rapids, I felt I just had to share it here. For you who still haven’t learn Finnish, I can tell that Keihärinkoski is a short river, more like rapids, that connects the lakes Kivijärvi… Read more »
Falling down on the ground
I have had two very busy weeks, packed with teaching, gigs and rehearsals, fly tying, grass fishing and a lot of other strange activities. Yesterday we were finally allowed to go for the sea trout again. After this long and boring winter. While Tapani is spending his time color-correcting our documentary and Håvard is sewing… Read more »
Better Days
Winter is not fun. Sure, it has its moments: I like skiing, both downhill and cross country, but the Nordic winters are so long it´s ridiculous. Some people have more sense than others, and head for the southern hemisphere. Spending February in New Zealand doesn´t sound too shabby, but alas, that´s not gonna happen this… Read more »
The Fly Corner
Welcome! It is soon Christmas again. Adult humans are competing with each other in order to buy the cheapest or most expensive gift. Santa has occupied the city. I hate to say it, but isn´t christmas little bit overrated? Just a little bit? Lets give some money to charity instead!? Anyway – instead of buying… Read more »
Bibio pomonae…
…it is! Today, I´d like to share some impressions and images from this year´s huge Bibio pomonae feast, or at least my part of it. It took place somewhere in the mountains of Nordkalotten, the vast, sparsely populated area that covers the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and northwestern Russia. This is where I´ve… Read more »
Oslo´s Dark Secrets
Hi! I was out filming in central Oslo with Lars Nilssen from LarsogLars.no yesterday evening, and we uncovered some incredible secrets, hidden just in front of our noses. The place where I caught this fish lies a few hundred meters from my appartement, and it doesn´t show up on any map or aerial photo. It´s… Read more »
Poland in pictures 2: The River San
The final destination on our tour was the river San in Poland. A big fly fishing festival was held there, with lots of fishermen fishing, hanging out and partying. We were introduced to lots of different fly fishing techiques, mostly with nymphs: polish nymphing, czech nymphing, french nymphing… However, our “Nordic” approach with long leaders… Read more »
Norwegian Road Trip
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… Read more »
