Norway, seen from the sea. Not the worst place to own a kayak:)

[aleksander]

Hello fellow padlers and anglers over at the other side of the big lake

Time for a new report from up north. Summer has finally reached Norway and the Malibu X-Factor have been tested and approved for norwegian waters.

Have fished everything from Ling and Garfish to Seatrout and Sprat, seen nature close up, and irritated a family of otters.

Have not installed the flushmounted rodholders yet, still looking for the right ones. And I am not completly sure where to mount them. I will also start flyfishing from the yak, so I need two more holders.

Finally bought a camera that can survive in the norwegian weather. So here are some of the houndres of pictures taken the last couple of months, with some comments.



Nice Seatrout



Think it called Tusk? Or Cusk



A Tusk/Cusk and a Ling
