Synopsis

Timeless fishing stories from a lifelong Norwegian angler

This memoir follows Halsten Muri, a passionate fisherman born in 1841, through a life spent angling from Olden to Nordfjord. Rich with memories, it preserves a cottage‑quiet world of rivers, lakes, and sea lines where skill, luck, and patience meet.

From the first catches as a boy to adventures across Nordfjord’s rivers, the book captures the rhythm of a fisherman’s days. It blends practical notes with anecdotes that reveal a man who loved the sport and the people he shared it with.

Early days of fishing with makeshift gear and simple hooks
Descriptive journeys across Nordfjord’s rivers and fjords
Stories of perseverance, patience, and moments of true angling luck
A personal portrait of a lifelong craft and the landscape that shaped it

Ideal for readers drawn to memoirs of craft, places, and the quiet drama of a life spent fishing.
