Me and my friend "Chief" (you'll get it until you see him in the pics ) went flyfishing today on a local small river once again. Had some great time, and fish too.
The weather was cloudy and wet, but that really didn't bother us. Fishing, talking, some coffee in the middle and more fishing...
The river locates only 15 minutes drive from my home, so I think there are occasionally benefits too living in the backwoods .

We took some pics as usual. Nothing artistic, really. Just quick snapshots here and there .

This thread doesn't have any special purpose, just felt I could share it.

The weather was dull:

Couple of lousy transplanted (sorry don't know the right word) rainbow trouts:

Suomi has the best fresh water fishing I've EVER experienced!!! I especially enjoyed... forgot what its called - when you go on a flat-bottom motorless boat in shallow water at night and catch pike with a hand harpoon - that was AWE-mazafakin-SOME

Now I wanna go to Finland - thanks, Antti, great job

You're talking about "tuulastus". The translation is (I think) torch fishing.

Another nice style of fishing is "kolkkaaminen". That would be knocking !
There you're on a glass like ice at fall time near the shore, with a mace. The fish (mostly burbots) stay still while you're approaching it carefully. And then..... BANG! The last problem is to get the fish up from under the ice before it recovers !
