Norway
For the next week. Me and Pôjkon are hanging out at this farm outside Trondheim in Norway. We’re fishing for Salmon, drinking beer, and eating a lot of food. Good times! I’m not gonna blog anything this week I think…

HAT movie
In Swedish, HAT means hate. But I’m talking about a totally different one – the love-HAT; Head And Tail! Oh, I love being a nerd… Ha ha! Frontside Fly will do an edit with all this stuff later. If you want to see some sweeet screen prints, take a look here.
Today me, the Fox and my foxy girlfriend is going up to Malung for the annual party at my friends dad “God”, and for Daniel Bodin’s and Pôjkons lovely competition Redneck Rumble! Good times!

Dalavardo
Don’t have that much to say after our trip to Dalavardo. It was just… too good to be true, and this picture kind of sums it up:
Double rainbow!
It was three days of fishing in the name of the double rainbow. My partners in crime was Stefan “Mad Season” Ågren, and the future of snowboard and fly fishing – Rolf Nylinder (who are managing the superb website Frontside Fly).
Here are a couple of other pics that sums up the days we had (more to come):
-
- “Mad Season” with another beauty.
-
- Stefan doing the last fishing of the day.
-
- Rolf struggling with one of the extremely strong Dalavardo-trouts.

Out from the mountains
This is how stoked I was in the heli back to civilization after four days fishing in Vindelälven, close to Dalavardo:
Hanging out with Bea in Stockholm for a few days is going to be nice though, of course. But on Friday, I’m off with Pôjkon to Stjørdal for one more week of fishing, and then it’s another Dry or Die week with Bjurs!

Lapland
Have been up here in Lapland since Saturday. Had some good days, but the fishing isn’t magic so far. Too cold. But right now we’re in Ammarnäs, and when me and Rolf was working today, Stefan was out hunting the legendary Ammarnäs trouts. And… it’s no big surprise he succeeded. The bastard had a ridiculous year so far! This last one was a streamer trout, and untrue, but still: a big fucker! And, there’s not any other way to catch the trouts here… (That’s why I’m doing computer work instead of fishing). Here are some pics from the last days:
-
- BIG
-
- To get far out in the wild, we got a ride from Sven-Erik. One of the most chill dudes I’ve ever met.
-
- His boat was fast, but I felt safe.
-
- Me and Stefan work with Gore-Tex boots. Rolf is going sneaker style.
-
- So… We had a night in tent, saw a LOT of fish. But they were all small. When waiting for Sven-Erik, we took a swim. Not that warm…
-
- Another beautiful place we fished, but the fish was… small.
-
- The mosquitos likes Rolf. Rolf likes snus.
-
- Rolf doing his magic.
-
- Filming “The king of wader asses” – Stefan Ågren.
-
- “Wading boots? Nah, I just use the sneakers for that too.”
-
- We’ve been drinking a looot of coffee. That’s good.
-
- Got some company. A lot of these fellows around.
-
- Stefan.
-
- Mandatory sunset shot.
-
- Stefan again. He likes this streamer fishing. I’m waiting…
-
- This is a picture he just sent me a couple of hours ago. That’s a big trout!

Umeå
Drove to Umeå today. Warm as hell! Need to get a new car… 350 km yesterday, 650 today, and 350 more tomorrow. I’m sorry for this Mr Environment…
Got to sleep, leaving early tomorrow. But this is the two moat important things we bought for our trip:
I now have two different kinds of coffee flavored chocolate (got the megamega-kind from Bea, WITH caffeine). Is this too good to be true!?!?
What can I say? Bynn on the cover of AoF!

The last days in iPhone pics
Had some good days here in the south. Just look at the video, and read the captions…
In Sweden, a cruise to Åland is pretty much as white trash as it gets. I love it. Didn’t win anything though…
Asked this lady if I could take a pic of her tattoo. It was some ink with her old rottweiler. His name was Roffe. MYbe the coolest tattoo ever…
Stayed at some remote hotel on Åland. Sweet view from the balcony…
The three musketeers, longing for alcohol.
“Champagne you say?”
“Ok! Aaah…”
“Cheers Jonsson.” “Cheers Kluckis!”
This Saturday, Bea had a perfect day. First this icecream…
Then she got to practice her swimming technique for a couple of hours.
Bought some food in Norrtälje on the way back. These two Ed Hardy/leopard fake blondes showed us the latest fashion there.
After shopping clothes with Bea in Stockholm, I was so tired not even my phone could focus!
Dinner at Sverre and Hanna’s house on Älgö. Beautiful place!
And now I just left this crap…
Had a coffee with this young man, and are now driving to Bynn. Tomorrow the one month Dry or Die mission starts off with trip up to Rolf and Ågren. Then we’re off to the mountains. Sweet!
Less sweet is this extremely warm and beautiful weather, in combination with my car, and the lack of air condition in it. Gonna continue my drive now. Not looking forward to it…
Dry or Die
