Søren and Morten from Ahrex HQ have left the office for a while to take part in the IFTD. This is of course particularly good news for our American customers, so if you’re curious – let’s say about the new Ahrex Salt hooks, you have the opportunity not only to see the hooks, but also talk to the designer and hear about the thoughts behind the hooks.

I think anyone of you guys reading this, also have a special connection to a small creek, a stretch of river, a special lake or your own spot on the coastline.

Ok, as you might have heard, Ahrex Hooks cofounders Morten and Søren visited Greenland earlier this month. Back then I promised to get back with a report on that trip, so this is it. Continue reading “Ahrex on Greenland”

This week Morten and Søren have boarded a northbound plane – travelling to Camp Erfalik, Greenland to join our friends from Getaway Tours for some world class char fishing. No doubt they will return with cameras loaded with great photos and raw footage for new films. But more of this later. Continue reading “Arctic char – Photo essay from Greenland”
