Water everywhere

Salmon season is behind the door, hurraaa. Meanwhile, we are exploring the areas around Oslo.

Home-office (from 13/3). Background picture is from Sylan 2018, amazing place. Fishing guidebook for Oslo in the front - it became my very usefull guide. There are several hundereds of lakes within 50km range from our place and to find good ones takes some effort and planning.

But not only lakes are around. This bridge is in Færde - one of the costal national parks south from Oslo.  

one more from Færde. It is not a large park, but for a one-day trip it is a great destination.

One of the easily accessible lakes near Oslo - Nøklevannet in Østmarka. 

this one - Steinsjøen - requires little bit of walking/cycling

A river for a change - Ådalselva

Another lovely lake in Østmarka - Mosjøen

this one is called Tonevannet

10 km cycling to reach this beauty - Rottungen in Nordmarka

little bit further away, near Drammen, is this crystal clear Skapertjern

Here I got my first Ostmarka trout - Midtre Kytetjernet

and this is his northern brother - Nordre Kytetjernet

another river - big Drammenselva

sometimes it requires some effort to reach a lake

and sometimes the lake you reach is still half frozen - here Rundtjern in May

and sometimes I get a fish! That pike down-right was over 1m long ...

and sometimes I go to the city!

but there is water as well...
