Did we come all the way up here for a skunk?
Like I tried to write in the first (and last update) during the days we were in Finland the fishing started out quite tough. The very first day of practice we were glad I got at least a smell of fish and falsely hooked a bream. But that was not why we came out with a shitload of awesome gear.
But hey, when is something a skunk? I mean, from the very first moment we arrived the trip was great already. Meeting the Canadians in Helsinki, when boarding the last plane of the journey. The drive from the airport in Vaasa to Merikarvia, with the English in the back of the bus. We definitely shared some knowledge and thoughts, some English said it all depended on misses pike, whether she was in the mood…
A chat with the English team in the back of the minibus.
That first day we had a little tour through the company of Jaakko and Olli Ojamo, called Eumer and mostly known for their tube-flies. All the teams felt like Charlie in the Chocolate factory, walking in a shack full of tying materials, like a kid in a toyshop or an American in the Red-light district of Amsterdam.
Am I actually here right now, or am I drunk? Oh well, probably both...
