Before he ever helped design some of the most progressive rods and lines in Scandinavia, he was a kid on the Swedish coast tying his first flies and chasing sea run browns with whatever gear he could get in his hands.

He didn't know then, but that curiosity, those early cast in salty wind and tight little streams would eventually pull him into the

center of modern Scandinavian spay innovation.

Today that kid is Tell Us from Guideline, a world champion caster, Guidelines Rod and Line

developer, and one of the leading voices behind the shorthead revolution that's reshaped

how anglers fish across Europe and beyond.

This is the Wet Fly Swing podcast where I show you

the best places to travel to for fly fishing, how to find the best resources and tools to prepare

for that big trip and what you can do to give back to the fish species we all love.

In this episode, you're going to hear how Scandinavian public waters pushed anglers to innovate

faster than anywhere else, why shooting heads kept getting shorter.

And what actually separates Skagit and Scandy lines today, we're also going to find out how

Tellus approaches Atlantic salmon versus steelhead and what decades of raw design have taught him about

power, timing, and feel. Plus, we're going to find out how they are making their products more

environmentally sound and creating less impacts around the world and on the fish species. We love. and feel. Plus, we're going to find out how they are making their products more environmentally

Right, right, right, right. Yeah, well, this is going to be fun because I'm not even sure exactly where are you at right now physically.

Gothenburg, Sweden, so we're on the west coast of Sweden, Scandinavia. Oh, cool. Sweden. Yeah, this is great. We've had a few episodes in that part of the world. It's been, I mean, it's a pretty, it's a hot spot, right? You get Sweden, Norway. We're going to talk today about guideline. We've been using your stuff. We've been talking a lot about you. I know we've been heading up to specifically Togiac River Lodge.

We've been, your stuff. We've been talking a lot about you. I know we've been heading up to

specifically Toggiak River Lodge. I got my first chance to swing for Chinook up there and was
