Autumn glory
After two years of pandemic and travel restrictions, it was nice to once again fly over to Scotland to round up the salmon fishing season.

Boka om lakselordene kommer i 2023
Etter over 20 år med research-arbeid, er boka om “Lakselordene i Lågendalen” i ferd med å ta form.

Stay safe. We’ll return!
Fishermen are privileged. We get to see beautiful places, meet wonderful people and, every now and then, our efforts with rod and line are rewarded. This spring, everything is different. Something we can’t see, hear or smell, has changed our world. We can’t travel, we can’t meet and we can’t pursue our favorite sport. All due … Continue reading

Guiding 2020
Just three more months – and the salmon fishing season in my local river, the Lågen, begins! Can’t wait. Even though the Lågen is rather unknown outside Norway, it is one of our best salmon rivers.
