Guiding - fishing and hunting

As a fishing guide, it is of considerable importance for me to explain that our harvesting must be in harmony with nature.

FISHING

Nearly 50 years ago, as a 5 year old kid, I made my first fumbling attempts to wrest nature from its secrets with a fishing rod in hand. Since then it's been years and years with different sorts of fishing. I have also had a good opportunity to see how the fishing has been influenced by the increasing damage our industrial development has caused to the nature and environment. I have been occupied with pedagogical activities for 30 years, - and feel that I have the sufficient "luggage" to give the younger generation, in particular, a deeper understanding of why we in Gjerfloen Flyfishing manage our fish resources the way we do today.

Having had sports fishing as an absorbing interest and hobby for many years, you will sooner or later reach to a point that killing a fish is an anticlimax. You spend more of the time focusing more on the nexus of cause and effect, experimenting and new methods. (Piscator non solum piscatur)

To me as a fishingguide, it is an exciting challenge to help others to success. It is always an indescribable satisfaction to enjoy oneself together with a novice who just caught his first fish.
