Thread: The North.

Took a little tiki-tour out to our favourite lake yesterday, thought we'd try for some more rainbows for the freezer, as well as some blueberries which are abundant this time of year. Unfortunately we couldn't get onto any mushrooms, but we didn't go home empty-handed.



The glassy conditions made for slow fishing. Windy conditions helped early on and at the end of the session, fish more willing to bite with the lake roughed up a bit.

The lure of the day (again) was a Toby, one of two purchased on the local Trademe for two bucks a pop including shipping. Funny, but they deliver more often than not over here.

In other news, moose hunting season started last week, with a hunter shot and killed on opening day.

And.... saw some pics online of a (very lost) swordfish caought on a fly rod in Norway. About two metres long, maybe forty, fifty kilos? Anybody else heard anything else about this....?

Record number of salmon in Swedish rivers this year. Funny, I ain't seen one!!
