This week has been insane. We had nice "holiday" and trip to Inari. Fishing was not easy but good enough. When we came back it felt like spring is really here and things got out of the hand.

I knew that snow has been melting and spring slowly coming but when we got back home... I was suprised how much speing has rook steps. And then it stopped totally. On Sunday all the tracks were hard as a rock. And on Monday it eas still okay, night was cold and only day got warm. I went to pick up trail marking from lake and was happy hoe forecast was looking for rest of the week.

Wednesday morning rain came and heat wave, it has been plus something for three days now and nights. All the tracks are giving up and we had to  work a lot to keep them in decent shape.

Friday we are having group of 30 person coming for ice fishing event, that will go until Saturday also. It is about 1,5 km distance from the farm to the lake and I'm worried about the trails. We have two Snowmobiles and sleigh to get guests to the lake, and tracks seemed to be okay Thursday evening, but what it will be Friday morning... nobody knows.

So you understand that I haven't really have time or interest for casting practice. This last group for the winter season and then we are closing up. Next week we will update our first aid skills and most of all.

We will get our reindeers back to the wild after winter. We need to mark last calves, put gps and other device to to the reindeers etc. So different kind of busy time coming. When reindeer are moved to summer fields, we can concentrate flyfishing and other stuff.

It is only six week before main fishing season is starting on the rivers, and if lucky less than two weeks and we can do some fishing on rivers. 

I really do miss Malaysia, it was warm and great fishing even difficult. There is not really single day that I hoping to go back. That is new for me. I really hope that next year will again Malaysia and something else.

Well summer is coming so fishing will start here also.

Have a nice weekend and go fishing
