It’s spring, the water is cold, and the fishing is still slow. So here I sit, writing a few simple tips that can help you succeed in your hunt for the year’s first trout in open water!

Over the years, I’ve picked up a few things that I think work well in the spring. I use lures that have nice swimming actions when moving slowly. But not too aggressive. I don’t think fish respond to exaggerated movements of the bait when the water is still cold.

Some alternatives that I’ve enjoyed good fishing with are: Rapala BX Minnow, Rapala Shadow Rap Shad and Storm’s 360GT Searchbait. Something these three baits have in common is that they are nice and consistent in their action when you reel them in slowly.

When it comes to colors, I often go for natural colors. But something with blue and/or orange is something I often pull out and which has caught me a lot of good fish during spring fishing. Some alternatives here are: Rapala BX Minnow in the colors TR and RT, Rapala Shadow Rap Shad in the colors

Summer’s on the way – in some places, it’s already here. And that’s the perfect reason to share some of my favorites for perch fishing. In the last couple of years, I’ve dedicated my time to search and catch the big perch in Norway. And now I’ll be sharing my favorite Rapala lures that have more than earned their permanent place in my perch arsenal. And to make it even better, I’ll also be sharing some tips and insights on how to use them for maximum results.

“Opening the package of Nauvo, Rapala’s new spoon, was love at first sight. Old-school classic spoon style combined with modern finishes – that’s all an angler could ask for! If you ask me, Nauvo will take fishing with spoons to a whole new level, whether you’re a seasoned pro or still fresh to the game.”

The Whispering Rivers

Early morning. The sound of blackbirds echoing from the trees. I’m walking along a narrow trail that leads up to the cottage. I know there´s already a crackling fire inside the cottage, the smell of fresh coffee hits me even before I reach the door. Entering the cabin, I get welcomed in numerous different languages. French, Belgian, Swedish, Norwegian. Our camp in the Swedish Lapland has awoken. Everyone’s got a different plan for the day. Some are going hunting. Some are spending the day hiking in the beautiful northern landscape. And, some are going fishing. Nearby, there’s a stretch of river with a lot of pike, perch, and grayling – even trout. What a perfect setting
