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”
We have touched upon the matter of fly colours before in this blog. Actually we made an in depth article on how depth, wave patterns and light penetration had a large impact of fly visibility. Continue reading “Anything goes – as long as it’s black ;0)”

This coming weekend it is time for another great show. Sportsfiske Mässan is the largest angling show in Sweden, and if you are anywhere nearby, you owe yourself to drop by Elmia in Jönköping March the 17’th to the 19’th. It is an all-round angling fair, so there will be anything from trolling boats to fly fishing tackle. But there will be a lot of fly tying as well.

Another year has gone by. Here at Ahrex Hooks the 2018 season turned out great… starting out with the introduction of the Freshwater series. 3.5 million fly hooks touched down in the headquarter in January, and created a controlled chaos for a couple of weeks. Continue reading “Happy New Year”
