Postby Danny M. » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:08 pm

Evening,

I finally finished my Norway Report for this year.

We went over in August 2010 and encountered 9 species of fish on the Lures.

Just want to say thank you to Ronald off the site, he gave me some info for the first trip that I couldn't use, but I used it this trip. Cheers mate.

Also want to say thanks to people that have put up information here about Norway, I learned alot from it, invaluable information. Cheers.

Id put the full up here, but the resizing of pictures would break my heart. Ive already spent weeks preparing it for the blog !

Here is is the full report:
