It all tracks back to my father. If he hadn't brought me along with him
on his fishing days when I was a child I would never have gotten this
lifelong love affair with fishing.
Born and raised in Stockholm Sweden in the mid 70's I grew up fishing
for Pike in the Baltic Sea. I discovered fly fishing late in life, never
knowing what I missed until I met and became friends with some fanatic
fly fishermen in 1997. Before I knew it I had taken all my savings and
bought myself fly fishing equipment and a fly tying kit. My life and
bank account has never been the same since.
I fish as much as I can but not as much as I would like to. I am in love
with adrenaline rush of dry fly fishing and in the magic nature of the
Scandinavian north I am as close as I can be to heaven. The last years I
have also rediscovered pike fishing in my home waters, with big flies I
stalk the monsters whenever I get a chance.
Fly tying for me is as big of a passion as fly fishing is. My approach
is to try to tie flies that can lure the pickiest of fish and at the
same time would look great framed on the wall. Initially I got inspired
by fly tying masters like Poul Jorgensen, Gary Lafontaine, Oliver
Edwards and more, nowadays I find myself more inspired by studying the
real insects in their own environment."
