So don’t run away if the blog has some hick-ups during the coming weeks. I will be working on it to improve it and give it a better look and feel to keep the cool content flowing.

Meltausjoki, Lapland

Bruce — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:33:50 +0000

I just read today from the Lapland regional newspaper “Lapin Kansa” that the season has already started on open rivers and especially in Meltausjoki, 60km north from the city of Rovaniemi.

A few crazy fly anglers ( Finns of course ) were already fishing unfrozen rivers this March when the temp was still around -10˚c. Main catches: graylings and trouts.

It is not always a pleasure to stand up in a freezing cold water but when the fish gets on the fly, you forget all the rest!

On these good words, I let you guys and I am off to check this Meltaus river.
