Going for the trout

– We must go to Hylkje, to night! I checked the aerial photos and there got to bee trout in the sea.

Hylkjebukta is a shallow water small bay with sand bottom. Fresh water pouring out from a small river. Of course there have to be trout in the sea.

Bjørn pretends to be an expert, but it was a friend at work that told him the secrets about this fabulous trout place. Bjørn lent my rod and this mate thought him fly-fishing - or at least how to throw.

Down by the sea. The fly makes a perfect flight. Goes through the air and hit the water without a sound. A perfect cast. Four meters from the rock Bjørn stands on. The trout's break the sea and snaps after bugs. In the middle of the bay. Far, far away from us. This goes on for an hour.

Nothing on the fly rod. So Bjørn switches to a common cast rod. One throw. Second throw. The steel herring blinks in the evening sun, before it ducks in to the sea for a third time. Rings spreading in the water. Suddenly — the row bends. Bjørn explode in excitement. The fishing line vibrates and Bjørn keep the reel spinning.



Fish and predator.


Fly fishing in the quite hour.


Fishy eyes.


Look at him! Bjørn is nothing but one happy grin.
