Saltwater flyfishing

This 9 lbs Pollack hooked my fly a Wednesday evening in June. Me and my friends had a fantastic trip to the coast west of Bergen, lots of catches....

The Aurland river.....

The Aurland river is located in the end of the Aurland Fjord, which is almost in the end of the bigger Sognefjord. It is not a big river but it is a beautiful river.
My wife is from this place and at this river my father in law who is a terrific flycaster and flyfisher taught me flycasting for about 12-13 years ago. Have fished here since then, so I do spend a lot of time here.

Here we can get really big seatrout, each year there are landed seatrouts up to 20 lbs, and in 2001 I lost a big 22-24 lbs seatrout after a 15 minutes fight.


Houndreds or maybee thousands of streams and rivers in Norway have a lot of seatrout, but there is only 4-5 rivers which have really big ones and
the
Aurland river is one of them.


I have spend many days in this river each season the last 12 years, and just love the river more and more.

This river is "the river in my heart", and looking foreward to july and august, and then I may have some more nice photos for the blog.

Thight lines...
