Second part of the trip took us into the Swedish Lapland wilderness, where we camped under the Northern Lights, cooked some hearty meals with mushrooms found in the forest. We also did quick hike into the more remote part of the river, where we landed some nice grayling and chilled by the river enjoying
After 15,000 kilometres and 35 hours in air, we are finally in the car, travelling through the Baltic countries up to Finnish Lapland. Our target is the gorgeous Nordic Grayling, hopefully on a dry fly if we get lucky. Autumn is settling in there; by the second week of September, most rivers close
After a little bit of fishing, it was time to change the area and head for the snow. Found myself a nice little spot amongst the eucalyptus treens and superb views of the lake. Couldn’t have made a better decision to come here. This time I setup my hot tent that I brought along with me, that
Last trip of the river trout season in NSW. Decided to head down to the Snowy Mountains for couple of nights and explore some less crowded areas, while everyone is fishing Eucumbene for the spawn run. Weather has certainly cooled down and big fire at night is needed to stay warm. Winter night skies
Another Autumn’s day exploring some creeks and rivers in the Blue Mountains. Love this time of the year, when weather cools down, and midday sun feels soft and warm on the skin rather than burning hot. Some fish in the river can also be found feeding on small hatching mayflies or hot spot nymphs
Got myself this sweet little setup for colder months and decided to do a trip to the Blue Mountains to try it out. Also try and look for some trout as it’s been a while since I tried to find one in this area. I consider mission completed. Just in a couple of hours fishing managed to find a decent
One last change of the region trying to find some pockets of blue skies in the cloud. Looks like it was a wise decision to check out one more spot and got rewarded with different species for the trip. This solid size rainbow smashing para Adams off the top was one heck of a show. Cant beat the scenery
Battling rain and looking for some fishable water on the West Coast, NZ. Couple of smaller size specimens one day, and then some larger fish the next one. Always pays off to wonder up the tributaries or check spots that you’d never expect to find fish. So take an extra mile, and you’ll
Couple of photos from the Christmas/NYE break trip to New Zealand’s South Island. This time decided to spend first part of the trip in Nelson area. Unfortunately with lots of rain we had to move around and come up with plans B and C quite a few times. Nevertheless there’s always some fishing
Beautiful and warm late afternoon nymphing session on Tumut river in the Snowy Mountains with Katka, Bec and Nathan. Yapping, laughing, sharing stories and catching a few rainbows in between. Good times.
