Fantastic Flounder on a Finn Fly!




Remove Formatting from selection
Today we decided to drive over to Norway and check out the Norwegian landscape. It was ony a couple of hours drive but it was breathtaking. The scenery changes dramatically from Finland to Norway with snow capped mountains surrounded by the sea.
We fished an alpine lake for brown trout and then headed to the sea for sea trout fishing.The lake you see in the above photo was absolutely gorgeous. A 3 kilometer hike to get to it was challenging but so spectacular.
I was very excited to fish in the Bay. Of course, leave it to me to catch not only sea trout but, cod and "FLOUNDER ON A FLY" which the Norwegians told me is quite rare! Talk about the weirdest looking fish man....the mouth is normal but the eyes are frikin on top of his head! ewwww..a face only a mother could love but the chef assures me its going to be delicious!
We then dined on succulent fresh crabs. Once again with midnight sun we did not return back to the hotel until 2:00 a.m. so I am beat!
I am headed to breakfast now with advil bottle in hand. Enjoy my flounder and I miss you all.
