Oslo are you ready?
It’s 7 in the morning. Me and Fredrik are on the train to Oslo, where Håvard, Tapani and Petzi are waiting (or still sleeping…?). Our Oslo homeboy, Håvard, has planned everything to the smallest detail, as you can see in the following mail: Wed. 25/5: Tap, Håvard And Petz arrive late in the evening from… Read more »
Here Is Trout!
With more than a little help from Norwegian fly fishing legends Lars Nilssen and Lars Lenth, who run the excellent flyfishing blog larsoglars.no, I found trout! Smøla is the place. It is a totally flat and stunningly beautiful island on Norway´s western coast. The island has lots and lots of small watersystems, and most of… Read more »

The Monkey Wrench
Early in the morning, while the other guys were fast asleep, I snuck out of the tipi. In the arctic mountain lake just outside our tipi, there was a huge mayfly hatch going, and a large brown trout was having an early morning feast. It took my fly on the very first cast, and I… Read more »

Developing The Shadow Cast
I had this long discussion with Håvard about how to develop the shadow cast and make it even more useful. There are so many tricky situations in fly fishing, and many of them require special casts and very hard work. After many cups of coffee and lots of serious talking, we finally had it. There… Read more »
Sight Fishing 1 – The Training Day
The water in the Finnish rapids is very murky. It’s almost impossible to see any fish if they are not rising. That’s why for me, one of last summer´s most memorable events was when we found this place with water that’s as clear as the Finnish vodka Koskenkorva! And to make matters more exciting, once… Read more »
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 »
Urban Trout Spawning in Oslo

Anyway, Nilssen sounded pretty excited. He had been passing… Read more »
