03.26 I was packed and in the car with only a thermos of strong black Columbian and a *Swedish General, to keep me company for the five hour drive from my home town just south of Oslo, to meet Espen Eliertsen inTrysil.Įspen who is owner and head guide for “Call of the wild” a fishing guide service in Trysil, is the first person in Europe to import and use Clacka drift boats from the USA. The message read, The Danica are hatching, Come ASAP, Espen. Late one Sunday night, 02.45 to be precise, the last week of June, I was woken when my mobile bellowed out the familiar SMS tone, was this the message that I had been waiting a week for ? “1 new message received” I pressed the keys on my mobile feverishly, as I fumbled for my reading glasses. After a short battle my first grayling of the season was released. I lifted my rod and it immediately assumed the golden arch position with the grayling diving deep into the pool. Espen began pulling on the oars to slow our decent and dropped the anchor. When without warning another, previously unseen fish rose from the depths of a dark pool and enthusiastically disappeared with my mayfly. My pale yellow mayfly imitation that was easy to see on the dark water, drifted perfectly 7-8 metres from the boat, quickly approaching two rolling grayling in the next pool, that we had had our eyes on for the last 80 metres or so, drift. Marc Petitjean and Torill Kolbu fish a drift on the Trysil River with Espen from Call of the wild.
