In the end of
august we drove to Norway; the promised land for atlantic salmon.
At this time
of the season, it´s less crowded but the fishing can be difficult. As soon as
we arrived to our destination, the weather turned cold and wet. The water level
went up 90 cm!
Due to that, the water temperature dropped with at least 3,5
degrees celsius. Fish stopped jumping, and showing signs of less activity. It didn't stop us from trying in the rain. Nevertheless, the chance of new fish
coming up were good. Here is some memories from the trip:

At first, Aleksi hooked a really beautiful
sea trout.
It was pure silver, caught right after arrival from the sea!

After
Aleksi's seatrout we had to wait until the very last day of fishing to get
contact with big fish. Rain had stopped, waterlevels were getting stabil and
the sun was shining when I finally hooked and landed a fish that seemed small
at the first hit, but it turned out to be exactly what we all were here for: a
salmon!
