Meningen med fluefiske

Meningen med fluefiske

Jeg var ni år da jeg for første gang begynte å interessere meg for fluefisking. Jeg hadde fiske siden jeg var fem, men fikk raskt interessen for fluefisking.  Jeg fikk opplæring av faren min i kastetekniker og litt om forskjellige innsekter, men jeg lærte også en del ved hjelp av videoer på YouTube, bøker og […]

Insect and Hatch Report

Hatch and insect report for Trysil Insect Guide

A season in the Trysil River is unmatched to any other fly fishing experience I know of. The river is a diverse organism starting at the borders of Engerdal county in the north, frothing thorugh the valley south to Innbygda, then passing smoothly to Nybergsund. Finally, she glides across the border into Sweden. On the other side, […]

Clear Water Emerger

Keeping a fly fishing diary

The Ephemera Danica is the largest mayfly in Norway. Measuring up to 2,5 centimeters (one inch) the hatch of this beautiful mayfly is the most important during the season. When these guys appear, the big and picky trout looks to the surface for food.

Stonefly and Caddis in May

Stonefly and Caddis in May

I visit my rivers like a river keeper throughout the year. I know exactly what the water levels are, how they’re doing and what to expect next. I live with them and think I understand their cycle. Even though the changing climate is contributing to new and unexpected entries in my diary, I pretty much […]

Spring fly fishing

Spring fly fishing

When it comes to preparation for spring fly fishing, few things change. I pretty much fish the same flies as last year. I to reach for my favorite rod the lines and I am used to. But most importantly my flies are pretty much the same. Here are my favorite flies for spring fly fising […]
