Summer is fully booked with recordings, except for a couple of days of celebration with friends and family in the Hälsingland.
Sure, it was so William was imprisoned and partially formed by Bengt were poured and Rolf Smedmans way of promoting the sport fishing in people's home through the TV, but William has completed and developed the tradition of captivating narrator and presenter for their generations. Presentation is not only a key concept in fly fishing. The core of Williams captivating program is the same, but the descriptions of the fishing trip is of a somewhat different and contemporary version, and the technology is capable of more for more than ever. TV media reaches many and has huge impact. And now replays accessible at times and at times that suit the viewer, not only transmitter.
But William also carries another major responsibility as a partner, Board and active in Northern Europe leading journal, Fly fishing in Scandinavia. And he is able to follow the tradition of quality that was founded by a couple of generations of editors, writers, Author, Photographers andillustrators. There flowing knowledge along with entertaining and educational stories, instructions and practical advice, exciting photographs and illustrations of accomplished art mannerisms! Not to mention the editors' words of wisdom that start in every issue. Fly fishing in Scandinavia during the time Williams maintained but also strengthened its position as Northern Europe "University" on fly fishing area by the journal itself as exemplary "course literature". There you can talk about education and culture!
William is named after William Shakespeare, especially thanks to his English, now deceased father, who gained fame through his acting in London and via its place in the English Parliament. There are a lot of British origin in Williams fly fishing practice and a Swedish mother and a grandfather in Hälsingland, who taught him to fish, plus some närkingska features could not be anything but an old Swedish, Anglophile fly fishers of him. And that will continue. We appreciate this!
