Lars Lenth has been obsessed with fishing his entire life—from the moment he discovered this passion as a young boy on the smooth coastal rocks of Southern Norway, to his pursuit, many years later, of giant halibut and Atlantic bluefin tuna. Now, he is coming to Rjukan to meet with Robert Jenbergsen and Thomas Mossing—the latter being the head of the Tinn jeger– og fiskeforening (TJFF)—for a conversation about fishing. What is it about this slow, repetitive activity that causes anglers to drift into a kind of blissful trance? In his book "Fiskehistorier – eller kunsten å fiske bort livet sitt" (2025), Lenth attempts to find an answer.
The event is held in collaboration with the TJFF. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
