Dec 5th, 2006: Another weekend on the flats of Abaco, Bahamas. PICTURES

18. July, 2006: New trip to the Bahamas. PICTURES HERE

February 25th, 2004: Ok, this homepage is and will obviously stay hopelessly outdated. However, here are some pictures:

Bahamas'2004    Pictures hot off the press, from February 2004. Dariusz, Julern and myself now live on three different continents, but we had a little reunion on the Bahamas in pursuit of bonefish, on a DIY basis. Some bad luck with the weather, and no big ones landed (close though!), but still a good trip.
Bahamas'2003    As the winter started to settle in here in November, I decided to go on a weekend trip to the Bahamas. No guide, just on a whim off inspired by some internet reports I found, the table was set for a major failure.. or not!
Mexico'2003    Dariusz and me in Mexico, again on the hunt for bones. This is highly addictive! Good trip, Dariusz got a monster (for Mexico)!
Laerdal'2002    Salmon and sea-trout fishing, in one of the most beautiful and reputed rivers of Norway, Laerdal. Dariusz, Morten and myself on a weekend frenzy. Too bad Dariusz caught all the fish...
Trysil'2002    Another trout trip to the Trysil river, timed to hit the Ephemera Danica hatch. I suck at trout fishing.
Mexico'2002    Time for another bonefish expedition. Julern was busy with his exams (haha), so it was Dariusz and me this time. We had amazingly bad luck with the weather, and only fished two of our six days there..
New Zealand'2002    The easy thing about going to New Zealand from Norway, is that it doesn't matter which way you fly. NZ is on the exact opposite side of the earth from Norway, yet I went for one day of fishing.. (well, fishing wasn't the primary purpose of the trip)..
North Norway '2001    The annual sea-trout trip to north of Norway.
Rauma'2001    Julern and I on sea-trout fishing in the absolutely stunning river of Rauma. What a river, and what a sea-trout!
Trysil'2001    Trout fishing in Trysil 2001. The usual mix of Danica hatch, whisky and lack of skills..

Another trip report: Bonefishing in Mexico 2001

October, 30th., 1999: Another update! (Hey, that's twice in one year!!) I hacked together an English version of our bone fishing trip to Mexico earlier this year. However, it is very long-winded and less-than-eventful in terms of fishing. Consider yourself warned!
Speaking of hacking things together, my image search-engine is now available through an English interface, and naturally, I added some new pictures as well.. .. Well, cya again in a year or so? :-)


January, 30th., 1999: English version on-line.


Mexico 1999 Mexico'99   [last updated: October, 30th., 1999]
Fed up with the Norwegian winter, the prospects of sea-trout fishing in the fjords didn't appeal much to Julern nor myself this year. We wanted summer, we wanted sun, we wanted to flyfish. The answer was obvious: We emptied our savings accounts and set course for Mexico, detirmed to empty this exotic country of both bonefish and tequila. [More...]


Image search Pictures..   [last updated: October, 30th., 1999]
Had some free time on my hands, so I hacked together an English version of my search-engine for my fishing pictures. Murphy and stupid law didn't apply, so it appears to be working. There should be around 180 images available. Btw, don't get your hopes up, they are mostly crap. :-( [More...]


Familietur 1998 Family Vacation 1998    [last updated: January, 30th., 1999]
The annual vacation with the family, once again with our secret honey hole up in Nordland as the primary destination, at least in terms of fishing.. Last year was a big success (not available in English), could we pull it off again? [More...]


Driva, vill og vakker!Driva, a breathtaking river!    [last updated: January, 30th., 1999]
After a few days fishing for sea trout in Surna, we headed for its neighbor river Driva. A beautiful river in a spectacular scenery, famous for its big sea trout. A perfect match for the two of us..
[More...]


Surna, the revenge!Surna, the revenge!    [last updated: January, 30th., 1999]
Following our failure early July, we were determined to settle the score with Surna. Forget all about the non-existent salmon, August can only mean one thing: night fishing for sea trout! [More...]


Nye bilder fra Trysil!Trout fishing in Trysilelva    [last updated: January, 30th., 1999]
Julern and myself joined our friends from the local fly fishing club, for a few days of fishing the Trysil river (Trysilelva). We were hoping to time our fishing with the hatch of our biggest mayfly: The Ephemera Danica. [More...]


Tur til SurnaSalmon fishing in Surna   [last updated: January, 30th., 1999]
The first week of July, we got our spey rods out and headed for Surna, going after the king of all fish: The Atlantic Salmon. Early July should offer both small and medium sized fish, and the occasional big one. [More...]
