Hi all,

Just received a bunch of pictures from Hans Bock. These pictures were
taken
during the clave and a couple of weeks after (he stayed in the area for
three
weeks).


Great photos. The Grayling are cool to see because, in the States, there
are very few places that have them. There was a grayling
species/subspecies that was plentiful in Michigan that are now
extinct.There are less than fifty places left in the Country that have
Grayling and the majority of them are stocked lakes.

Those are also some beautiful sizable Browns.

You're really getting a good collection of trips on your website. It's
great to see the shots from other parts of the world.

Willi,

Why not consider a visit? The Lapland clave in August is one opportunity.
In any case I'll offer to guide you for a couple of days or a week should
you choose to visit sometime.

Grayling is one of my favorite fish, this since it is a fish that often is
quite willing to rise to the dry fly and has more or less the exact same
habitat as brown trout. Also, with an abundance of grayling one can kill
some for dinner without feeling too guilty about it, and it's a really tasty
fish.

Hans' browns were the biggest caught during the clave, but in all honesty I
caught two bigger ones earlier that summer so there's always a chance to
catch big ones. Also hoping to get in contact with a big American brown
trout come May ;-)

I wish I had more time to write TR:s. I took more than 800 pictures of
fishing waters and the surrounding nature last year and considering that I
went fishing in the mountain region on 7 different (longer, more than one
day) trips and had more than 30 days fishing in local waters I do have some
unwritten stories to be told.

The daylight is slowly returning here and there's hope of a new spring,
although the snow depth is close to 3 feet and it is -16 degrees Celsius (3
degrees Fahrenheit) outside at least the sun is up and the trees are full of
snow, it is absolutely beautiful.

Been hunting as a pastime, both with my rifle and my camera, and yesterday I
was out on a moor where the trackers from the county administration board
had seen a wolf. Not much chance of seeing the wolf but I had a nice day on
my skis eating sandwiches and drinking coffee in the sun. And then there's
the fact that I shot another two rolls of film.
