Every flyfisherman knows that special kind of feeling when the first day of the season is at hand: The end of a long wait, where watching fly fishing films and tying flies just didnt’ cut it. But: It’s still water!

Came across this project which really caught me. Not only does it seem to be a beautiful project to support, the filmmakers seem to know what they are doing too. One should really consider supporting this; I just did!
Hi there! Couldn`t wait any longer, and when I saw the first bigger stretches of open water in my favourite creek…off I went. 
Of course there is still roughly 1 metre of wet snow laying on the ground but I thought it could be doable with some snowshoes, which it was ( just goddamn hard work^^).
Didnt take many casts with a brown wolly bugger and a 47cm brownie hit it with quite some power..I kept it since it is the first trout after a loooong winter and it`ll taste awesome!! I actually caught two more slitely smaller ones aswell, but those two I released back into their water again.
GREAT start into the season for me! I´m more than happy and thrilled I have to say..it`s a special kind of fishing when you crawl to creek on snowshoes and then catch trout on a fly..the blue sky, blue water and the white snow surrounding it does make it an awesome experience..

Lukas and I started fishing our homespot this week, a beautiful reservoir with beautiful brown trout. Short film coming up in the near future!
As usual, I spent the Easter Holidays with Jan in Sweden. Talked alot about next Summer, agreed on some lakes/rivers we need to visit and the filming that we’ve planned. Additionally, i was fortunate enough to capture some beautiful Aurora Borealis!
Although the conditions were far from promising, Lukas and I couldn’t say No to starting the fishing season at a nearby stream. Didnt catch anything, didnt’t film but took some pictures. Had a good time nonetheless!
Although I am more a vimeo kind of guy, I uploaded our film to youtube some weeks ago! I am thrilled to say, it has been receiving AMAZING feedback and more than 15k views so far! Definitely encouraging!

Can’t wait for the season to start, will most def. come up with an openseason-video.
Came across this well made documentary about the decline of Salmon populations. Really worth a watch! It seems that as a fisherman especially, one shouldn`t eat any bought Salmon whatsoever! Makes you want to cherish every second one gets to spend on the water even more! Who knows for how long we can keep enjoying this passion we all love!?

Went to see the Rise Fly Fishing Film Festival yesterday.
They showed short versions of 3 current films (jungle fish, The Arctic, Only the River knows) and the full film PREDATOR. I really like The Arctic and wouldve liked to see the whole film: BEAUTIFUL Arctic Char!!!!!!!!! Jungle fish was really impressive as well, seeing the world’s largest fresh water fish breaking a couple of 12Wt Rods. To be honest, although PREDATOR was unsurprisingly the most professional of the bunch, I didn’t really like it that much. Enjoyed previous Gin Clear Media productions more!
Nonetheless, we had a great time (If it hadnt been for the guy behind us, who apparently thought that providing the whole theater with free audio commentary would be a great idea)!!
Although we are all looking forward to fishing season, winter is sometimes the most beautiful season. Not being able to fish, i put together this little film about the cold season…
