The primary goal of this short weekend trip was to pick up a lot of cloudberries near Vestby/Trysil. But I found the fields empty. I came too late and managed to pick up just a little (= enough for one small jar of marmalade). So I continued further north to Femundsmarka, to test my new fishing rod. The aim was to explore Sømåkvolvet, a lower elevation mountain range next to Isteren lake, with old pine trees (small area with burned trees as well), moss covered ground and moraine ridges. And many small lakes located almost next to each other (see the map below).

I tried to fish in 7 lakes in one day. It was hot weather and trout were lazy. The only activity I encountered was in Langtjønna, after I took a bath there. 3 very nice trout jumped off my hook and one smaller ended up in my bag. That was it...
I stayed overnight next to Femundselva, hoping to improve my fishing score next day, but no luck there as well. The vey low water level and hot weather might contribute to that...
so I got only some nice pictures from these two days.
