Fly Fishing Photo Gallery 2005. Grayling, Brown Trout, Fly Fishers

Fishing pictures. Photo gallery from Gjerfloen Flyfishing, Norway. Fly fishers and fishermen, photos of grayling, brown trout, arctic char, whitefish, pike and other "shots" of interest. (English only)

As fishing guide and riverkeeper I spend a lot of time by the riverside and the camara is always with me. I therefore have many opportunities to take good "shots" of fishing situations, fishermen, catches and nature from and around the Gjerfloen fly zone area.

The photo gallery page will contain updated pictures of fishermen and catches from Gjerfloen Flyfishing and other pictures of interest from Trysil.

NYMPHS, a real challenge for fly tiers (and others...)

*****

This kind of mussle is very rare in the Trysil river, but there are a few and they can be up to 300 years old! Please let them live and don't take them out of the water. This one was found here in 2002. If you find one of them, please report to me.

3rd of December

To me the highlight of the trip to Prague was meeting Flyfishing World Champion, Jan Siman. Here in our apartment discussing and exchanging flies. We also talked about a new way of using ribbing materials. Jan will present this issue on his web sites later this winter. See http://shop.siman.cz/ or http://www.siman.cz/ Also in Norway you can find Siman Products in a few shops. See eikre-fly.no

Jan guided me to the best fly tying gear shop in Prague, "Spin & Fly". www.spinfly.cz Myself (left), Jan Siman (middle) and the owner, Jiri Voracek (right). Here I found a lot of very interesting material which I had not seen before. You find the shop in Legorova street nr 58, not far from the National Museum.

Jan helping me to pick out the right things.

Spin & Fly had also very good (for the customer) prices. All these "Boys Toys" for less than 100 Euros!

Jan brought us to the nice restaurant, NOVEMESTSKY PIVOVAR, (NEW TOWN BREWERY) for lunch. Jan (left), my brother in law, Helge (middle) and my wife, Kari (right)

After lunch we were showed around in NOVEMESTSKY PIVOVAR's own brewery.)
