Summer nights are full of light here in southern Scandinavia, it doesn’t really get dark. At the end of April we start fishing in the evening and long into the night. It can be hard to take care of family and job when you are pretty wasted from too little sleep, or having a ”fishing hangover”, as the Bricklayer has named it.
In the middle of July we have to abandon our favourite spot in the tidal current. The kelp starts dying, floats on the surface and makes it impossible to fish. You get tired of hooking one ”island” of seaweed after the other. Especially at rising tide it gets annoying, when the water picks up the dry weed on the shore and transport it with the current.
At the same time the trout get harder to find. In warm summers I think they are lying under a bush of kelp covered with sunscreen in their swimming trunks, but that’s of course only a suspicion.
