Episode 2 - Rautas

Overview

Martin Falklind goes to Norrbotten to experience the "Rautas premiere". For a few weeks a year, fishing is allowed on Lake Rautasjaure outside Kiruna, and the premiere weekend itself attracts hundreds of visitors eager to fish. Most stay for a few days on the lake and live in so-called "arks", specially built tents adapted for the purpose. Martin meets Eva-Lisa and Jim Eriksson, among others, who have been at the premiere for decades. But despite their experience, the fishing is slow and the temperature sometimes drops to minus 20 degrees, but that does not stop the most dedicated fishermen.
