A fly fishing trip to the remote arctic tundra far north of the arctic circle, summer 2020 in Sweden, in search for the elusive Arctic Char. Living in a reindeer herder's cabin on an isolated lake, we battled mosquitoes, wind and unusual heat in order to tick this item off the bucket list. In the end, we were successful and caught and ate several of the most delicious fish on the planet.

Surprisingly for us, all char were caught on the dry fly (streaking caddis pattern shown in the video), no nymphs or other wet flies seemed to work. No luck with streamers, either.

The char was smoked, teriyaki marinaded, fried, gravad, steak fried, on bread, with salad, you name it.

The 4k footage was shot from from helicopter, drone, underwater and by gimbal.
