Historien om Frank Sawyer
Frank Sawyer bandt seg inn i fluefiskehistorien med sin eminente fasanhalenymfe. Med sin nysgjerrighet, analytiske evne og nyskapende grundighet, maktet han å bringe arven fra 1800-tallets pionerer videre. Bøkene til River Avons mest berømte riverkeeper burde være pensum for enhver fluefisker. Nå kan du lese min historie om Frank Sawyer på nettsiden til Jakt og … Continue reading

Danser med danicaer
Mai er en flott måned, og i sesongens ubestridte høydepunkt i kalkelvene i England. I disse dager klekker nemlig døgnfluenes gigant, Ephemera danica, til stor begeistring for både ørret og fluefiskere. I siste utgave av Alt om fiske kan du leser mer om “duffer’s fortnight”.

Mayfly time!
Høydepunktet i de berømte kalkelvene sør i England er klekkingene av Ephemera danica – eller Mayflies som de kort og godt kalles i Storbritannia. Disse klekkingene begynner som regel midt i mai, øker i intensitet og fortsetter en uke eller to ut i juni. I forbindelse med Flyfishers’ Clubs “Young Members Mayfly Weekends” i år, … Continue reading

The rivers look good at the moment, but after the devasting flood this winter, anglers will have to move very carefully along the banks. Several thousand houses were devastated in the worst flood in Great Britain in almost 250 years. When I visited Hampshire recently, there were still fields, village … Continue reading

Mayfly afternoon
I can’t help it, but I’m deeply fascinated by Ephemeras and other upwinged flies. As many of you will know, a good hatch of these wonderful creatures (or other insects like sedges, hawthornes, ants etc.) may bring lots of hungry fish to the surface. Timing is essential, though.

Leptophlebia time
Spent a couple of days with my family in our cabin in Kongsberg recently. There are several lakes in the area, and I was pleased to see the first Leptophlebias of the 2012 season. These are the first up winged flies to appear in this part of the country. In the photo below, my son … Continue reading

Ephemera Nokia
I’m mighty impressed with the quality of my mobile phone camera! When looking for salmon in the Numedalslågen recently, I came across this beautiful Mayfly. Even though hatching in a river, this is probably a Ephemera Vulgata and not a Danica. The explanation is simply that major parts of the Numedalslågen is very slow flowing. … Continue reading
