When the going gets tough, the tough go fishing!

These are pics from a fishing trip up north in Norway where I come from. I brought with me an Uygur friend from China and we went out fishing in my uncles boat, and had a good time under the midnight sun late at night. Location: The small village Målsnes at Troms county in the north of norway.

THIS IS FROM ANOTHER FISHING TOUR UP NORTH WHEN MY FATHER WAS STILL ALIVE:

ONE OF THE BEST RIVERS FOR SALMON ALSO RUNS OUT IN THIS FJORD BY MÅLSNES. HERE IS JOHANNA BY THE FALL “MÅLSELVFOSSEN” WHERE THE SALMON COMES UP TO SPAWN, AND THE FALL BELOW:

I recommend Norwegian Salmon!
