Dryshod or not dryshod

Dryshod or not dryshod
The usual suspects picked me up early (ish), on Sunday morning. Our goal was this stream. Vitsån at Berga in Haninge, next to the military base, Haninge garnison. We were around fifteen people, plus our guide Oliver Karlöf, not seen here. The hope was to see Havsöring, (Brown trout) mating/spawning i.e. jumping out of the water. Everyone was wearing sensible boots, not counting me of course. Hasse can't tie his shoelaces so he had a bit of a mishap. Oliver knows everything you can possibly want to know about fish, he is a fiskekonsulent, good luck googling that! He has written one or two books and the information never stopped coming, which we can blame on my buddy Hasse, (not seen here), who always have to ask a lot of questions about pretty much everything. Anywho we walked through the forest down to the stream while Oliver talked and talked. There were a few other photographers there but no one seemed to take that many photos. Which is perfectly understandable because there was no trout to be photographed. Oliver blamed that on the lack of rain and what have you. After an hour or so this guy showed up on the other side of the stream. It was someone's brother. I got the camera ready hoping he would end up in the water as he tried to cross the stream, but no such luck this time around. Twenty minutes later we gave up and headed back to the cars, but if Hasse has any say, (he has not), we will go back after the next rain fall.

You have to be careful crossing that!
