Howdy all,
Need a little advice for this years trip. Love to head back to scandinavia but i think times going to be a little tighter this year so any thoughts on direct flight airports close to a large expanse of greenery? Preferably with some good fishing!?
The plan this year is to go early enough as to be certain of NO snow so mozzies may be a problem but i don't think this can be helped (though i have a unused tin of mozzie repellant from last year :rolleyes: ).
I'm open to all suggestions as this is the start of the process.
So far before june is out (expensive holiday away with the good lady) and August is also out due to getting the time off at work :argue:
So looks like september then.....
Bring on the good stuff ladys and germs :umbrella:

Be a bit more specific please..

Forest, tundra or mountains? How far north? Flyfishing? There are dedicated fishing camps which have their own helicopter operations, they fly you out to a hut in the middle of nowhere, and pick you up at the time you want to get out.

Maybe check out the fishing and conditions in the 'downloadable movies - man travels alone in northern Scandinavia for a year' post under in the 'Bushcraft and wilderness library and Media' thread

Thanks guy's, Looking for a forested area with some nice smallish lakes.
Although there is always the Fjords, not sure on the best way to fish them, will have to look into it. Mainly use lure's for my fishing :)
Big swede, you asked how far north? Don't really mind as it'll be aug or sep .
