  • Vulgata på storsjøen

    Alle fluefiskeres våte drøm er å fiske storfisk under en vulgata-klekking. Problemet er bare å at slikt fiske krever tilstedeværelse når slike klekkinger skjer. For min del er jeg så heldig å ha tilgang til en hytte som vi bruker under sommeren liggende over Storsjøen i Hodal. Her er det både vulgata-klekkinger og storfisk. I… Read more

  • Hervdagsfiske – Bruk de fiskemulighetene du har

    Ikke få ganger har jeg dratt med meg venner opp i skaugen for å fiske, bare for at de blir skuffet over at storfisken uteblir. Andre gjør narr av meg for at jeg blir svært begeistret over dra en ørret på 15 cm opp at et vann, eller for at jeg i det hele tatt… Read more

  • Daddy Long Legs – redning i rufsevær

    Sverger du til tørt, uansett vær? Da er stankelbein-imitasjonen kalt Daddy Long Legs en nødvendighet i flueboksen. Jeg har mang en gang stirret utover rufsete sjø, hvor krusningene ligner mer på bølger, og tenkt at dette er en dårlig dag for tørrfluefiske. Men det er akkurat på slike dager landinsekter havner på vannet, og i… Read more

  • When Mars touched the Moon

    It’s a winter day in February and for once it’s a clear sky. I looked up and came aware that Mars was going into a rare conjuction with the moon. I really didn’t have time nor have I planned to witness this. But I couldn’t lpass on this astronomical event. I could capture this in… Read more

  • Notes on climbing Kilimanjaro

    The year was 2012, and for some reason I decided to go all alone to Tanzania and climb Kilimanjaro. I was not part of a group and organised my own trip. There is no reason why you should pay extra to a travel company in your company for this hike, since the local law says… Read more
