Miekak Days is organized around the concept of arriving and fishing four very different settings and waters with a fly rod - the still waters of lake Sarta, the rapids of Sidoströmmen, the Lådda stream and the mighty Pieske.

It is about how we’ve come to find and experience this place over the years. Described in an informative and hopefully entertaining format, that has something to give both the seasoned visitor and the first timer alike. As well as for someone looking for a fun read out of season.

The book is laid out in a clean and minimalistic style with an emphasis on the unadulterated photos and texts that accompany them.

Notes, fishing and maps

Since the very first years on these waters, we've had some kind of maps with us to help navigate and find potential hotspots. From the legendary Fjällkarta BD 14 (with that awful scale) to the Google satellite printouts (hampered by low resolution images or cloud cover). None the less, something map-like, to help see the lay of the land and waters.

Over time the notes have gotten better, and the knowledge shared by more experienced folk have made it possible for us to find new pools and methods to try on every visit.

We really believe in paying that forward. Each chapter in Miekak Days has an illustrated map of the area covered with some of the better pools and areas marked - a few basic fly recomendations too. These are by no means the only hotspots or absolute truths, but they will help anyone onto a great fishing adventure.

From the Diary

From the start, we also wanted to put on paper the little incidents still fondly remembered and brought up in conversation after many years.

These little diary snippets in the book tell the successes, the had opportunities and dropped fish too. As well as the old friends we have been lucky enough to take there, and the new friends we have met along the way. Something we feel that fly fishing people everywhere can relate to.

So, get yourself or that fly fishing someone in your life this book and make sure you visit Miekak someday soon, maybe we'll catch you there. Tight lines!
