Into the Wild

Finnmark, northern Norway, is one of the last untouched wilderness areas in the world. Lots of space, lots of fish and not a lot of people and roads. Paradise for a fly fisherman really. Rolf and I spent a week there fishing, filming and just enjoying being there.

[@johncobb7564]

Great video!!!!!

[@weeboabmac6197]

As always fantastic camera work and the best of fishing locations, that was a great diversity of fresh water species, Char, Grayling and Brown trout or was it a sea trout ?? Thanks for the upload and I look forward to your next adventure, all the best from a damp and closed brown trout season, here in Scotland. WeeBoab

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+WEEBOAB MAC Thanks a lot Mac. The season is down here in Sweden as well so it's good to have some footage to work on and some films to watch :) The fish in the video is indeed a brown trout, probably feeding mostly on fish and also spending time in the lake close by. That's why it's so silvery. Cheers /Krister & Rolf

[@transalp1983]

Wonderful places, video and fish. Congratulations

Yeah, that coffee pot has really been around :) Cheers

[@jhutch3901]

Keep living the dream guys, I'm enjoying the films immensely. Mind telling me what brand of waders you're using? My toad-legs have reached the end of their life and I'll be in the market soon.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+J Hutch Thanks J. Glad you like the video. We are using Simms waders. Highly recommended. Cheers /Krister & Rolf

[@jhutch3901]

+Carpe Diem Hi again guys, I just received my Simms waders (Freestone stockingfoot) and boots (RiverTek 2 Boa). I have a question for you; For springtime, cold-water conditions, do you find these are warm enough over just a pair of jeans? These fit me quite closely over jeans, but I like a close fit. I'm just wondering if I'll need any additional layers to keep warm, or if the waders themselves are sufficient with a pair of jeans underneath. If I need a larger size to stay warm, I'll return these prior to wearing in the water. (I'm hoping to keep this well-fitting size though). Thanks! Hutch

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+J Hutch Hi Hutch. You really need to try this yourself. I normally use a pair of long underclothing when it's 15 degrees Celsius or above. A little bit colder and I wear a pair of fleece jogging pants. When it's below 5 degrees Celsius I would wear both of these pants under the waders. Here in Sweden it can be really cold and when we fish for sea trout in april the temperature can be as low as the freezing point. Then most of us use waders made by neoprene. Cheers /Krister

[@FeaR_Lucii]

great video...keep up the good stuff guys.. any nessary tips on lakes fishing as I'm not to great at it and always fail to entice the fish to bite this lets me down very often... I have a very good knowledge of rivers and streams but not so on lakes

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+Arian Groeneveld Well, Arian, we really don't do that much lake fishing. We prefer river fishing. When we fish in lakes we normally wait until we spot a fish, like we do when we fish in rivers, and then try to get that particular fish to bite. We don't do that much blind fishing. This probably won't help you much but that's about the only tip I can give. Wait until a fish is spotted and then try to sneak up on him and feed him with what we think he's eating. Cheers /Krister

[@risasb]

In a river an alpha trout will reside in the best spot, say behind a large stone at the bottom of a riffle, and chase away all competition. This is how sometimes we lose natives where streams are stocked; the alpha native wears itself out chasing clueless newbies. In a lake, behavior is entirely different; the alpha trout will lead a school, usually along the edge of the dropoff (between the littoral and benthic zones) (they don't use cover as much as bass do). In bright sun, if there are ospreys or the like present, they may go hide in the benthic zone and wait for wind ripples or clouds to feed. The biggest seem to let smaller fish sample baits and flies, to see whether it's safe to muscle in on the goods. So I fish from a tiny boat and cover the dropoff, usually with good results, on a sinking line with streamers.

[@jiristrnad5061]

I want to be there. Amazing! Thank you

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Jiri. Glad you like the video :) Cheers

[@narissagroeneveld6503]

do you have to create any surface movement to entice a bite?? thanks for replying

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+irish flyfisher Well it depends on how active the fish are and how stationary they are. E.g. arctic char always cruise around very rapidly. We normally try to predict where the fish will be next time it rises and put our fly in that spot. Sometimes it helps to give the fly a little movement to help the fish to locate it. Sometimes you don't need to do anything but wait. Stocked rainbow trout also often cruise around and you can see a pattern in how it moves. Normally it has a certain round which it patrols. Try to see these patterns and predict where the fish will be. That very often work for us. Cheers /Krister

[@trekboy9466]

Hello, nice movie. Can I ask you what underwater setup did you use on filming?

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+Łukasz Ziembicki Thanks Lukasz. Glad you like the video :) For the underwater shots I used a simple GoPro (3+ Black Ed) on a telescopic stick. Cheers /Krister

[@DietrichBohnhorst]

There is a pike at ~ 7 min. were they introduced? Another great film, by the way; well done.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Dietrich :) The pike are natives to these waters and they are actually very important to the ecological system as the top predator. They prey mainly on week and sick fish which makes the populations of trout, grayling and char much more healthy. So it's very important to keep the pike in the waters. Cheers /Krister

[@narissagroeneveld6503]

great video guys.. i do a bit of fishing in lakes on mountains.. i dont have much luck though.. any usefull advice ... id appreciate it very much thank you

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+irish flyfisher As I said on another comment here we really don't do that much lake fishing. We prefer streams and rivers. But we normally have the same approach to it, wait until we spot a fish and then try to sneak up on him and try to present him with something that we think he would like. If the fish feed on the surface we try a dry fly first of course, trying to mimic the insects we see at the moment. If that doesn't help we put on a woouly bugger or something like that. We normally don't waste our time blind fishing if no fish are visible. Then we sit down and have a cup of coffee instead and wait for the fish to start feeding. Don't know if this helps but that's how we do it :) Cheers /Krister & Rolf

[@FeaR_Lucii]

what is the difference between high and low riding flys... what are they?

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+Arian Groeneveld Hi Arian. Not sure exactly what you mean but it's a known fact that the fish often prefer insects hanging in the surface film, e.g. hatching nymphs (emergers) or spent spinners (dying mayflies), because these insects don't have the possibility to fly away if they are threatened by a fish. A mayfly dun (newly born) is very fast to take off from the surface if a fish tries to catch it and sometimes the fish actually ignores these insects totally, i.e. insects riding high on the surface. Cheers /Krister

what fly's were used to catch the trout preferably

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

+Arian Groeneveld Hi Arian. It was a homemade streamer with a mixture of orange and black marabou.

We have the untouched wilderness in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.......Well, we used to! Seems oil mongers get to fill it with roads, oil rigs, generators and structures now. What a shame!!

That really sucks Dan. I guess nothing can stop the greedy guys. Cheers /Krister & Rolf

[@adrjensen9570]

Sad to hear. So many inventions that are kept hidden because someone wants us to rape mother earth and get paid for it.. If you like take some nice photos of the places with GPS coordinates :) Fracking, corals, species extinct. Share your story :)

[@sirmegallot3276]

beautiful, I would love to fish for grayling

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Scott. Glad you like the video :) Yeah, you should try it some day. Good fun. Cheers /Krister & Rolf

[@sirmegallot3276]

:) in the Florida keys about to head back to new york, tues I have off from work and will head to the legendary neversink river, the birthplace of American fly fishing, and my most familiar river for some dry fly fishing, I cannot wait. Flats fishing is fun, but I miss my freshwater rivers and trout fishing! All the best, keep the videos coming!

[@iguanaamphibioustruck7352]

I can show you streams within one hour drive from downtown Seattle where you can catch rainbow or cutthroat trout up to 22 inches on a dry fly. You will not see anyone else on the river. You don't need a Cessna and instead of a net, most locals use a gunny sack. Iguana

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Sounds great Dave :) Cheers
