Flytying

Flytying is one of my passions, I have my own workshop where I tie my flies.
I have a fantastic wife, who let me build my own room in the house which is only for me and my hobby.

I am a lucky man.........

Holding a lot of courses and flytyingworkshops.


The right pics is from a workshop I did for "Bergen Sportsfiskere", which is one of the biggest angling associations in Bergen.

These photos are from a flytyingcourse i did for our own anglingclub, "Vestafluen", where we tied saltwaterflies, like epoxy shrimps, clousers and decievers.

"Vestafluen" is the company angling team at my job, as a mentor I promote this team and we are about 50 members, and that is fantastic for a company club.

And I just love flyfishing :-)

Indoor Flycasting

As a promotor for a group of anglers and flyfishers, I am a organizer for indoor flycasting during the winther.

Somethimes in the winther we have the local sports hall to our disposal, and then we arrange social gatherings there we meet, talks, improwing our casting and just having a great time.


This gatherings are really popular, and local anglerdealers also visiting us and demonstrating
new rods and other anglingproducts.




Nice to have this oppurtunitie in the cold winther.


In the firs place, the reason to start with this was to start up a new local anglingclub, I have called this group "Nordnes Sportsfiskere".
"Nordnes" is the part of Bergen where I live.

We also want to arrange anglerdealershows
in this sports hall in springtime.
But temporary we have had these casting-gatherings 4-5 times in the winthertime the last 4 years.

We have been over 30 flyrodders here and 4 anglerdealers with their products at the same time.

That is just great:-)


Flycasting is fun :-)

OFFSHORE FISHING

Posting a small article here, earlier I really enjoyed offshore big-game fishing from boat, angling with real heavy gear. Today flyfishing is my thing, but can remember many nice moments and trips at sea. Posting a photo of a 12 lbs Ling that I catched with my Fenwick Beaufort 50 lbs rod and my big Policansky reel, not a very big fish, but the photo is from a very special occasion, this was my last offshoretrip. And it was a fantastic trip on the sea west of Norway with a great boat.

The Policansky was a fantastic reel, made in South-Africa, I had many big Penn-reels also, but the Policansky was my favourite. I Sold it a few years back, together with one of my Penn stand-up rods. The method is not the important thing, fishing is fun with any method, the thing that matter is that the angler is having a great time.

The spring!

April was a cold month here in Norway, with temperatures below the freezing point at night. Then suddenly the weather changed, the last week have been fantastic with 20-25 deegres Celsius.

Plants and trees have changed from brown and grey to beautiful green in a few days :-)

THE SPRING IS HERE......

Then of course, I have used the oppurtunity to check out some of my fishingspots. The top photo was taken last friday, I had the day off from work and tried some salt flyfishing, didnt get any catch, but it was a nice trip on a beautiful sunny friday morning.

The other two pics was taken yesterday afternoon, did spend a few hours at the mountains just outside of Bergen, there is some really nice troutstreams there. I was full of expectations to try my new trout rod, baught in Singapore at Coho Fishing Tackle. The rod was very nice to fish with:-) Tried some small goldhead nymphs and got some brown trouts. The trouts was really small, but even though they are small, with their colours they are beautiful anyway. They got their freedom back, and I will catch them again when they are much bigger.

Looking foreward to many nice trips this spring, summer and fall.

Will try to attach some nice photos in the time to come, hopefully photos of bigger fish:-)

Keep watching my blog..

Cheers
