EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tranquil waters of Lystringen Lake in Norway, circa 1851, a group of intrepid fishermen engage in the ancient and thrilling tradition of spearing salmon and trout at night. The serene scene is illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight, casting a silver sheen upon the still water. With the aid of torches, the fishermen carefully row their boat towards the shores, their eyes scanning the depths below for signs of the elusive fish. Spearing, or Leistering as it is known in Norway, has been a cherished pastime for generations. It is a test of skill, patience, and connection to nature, requiring the fisherman to rely on their senses and intuition to locate and capture the fish. The experience is heightened by the cover of darkness, adding an element of mystery and excitement to the endeavor. As the fishermen approach the shore, they leap out of the boat, brandishing their long, sharp spears. With a swift and precise motion, they plunge the spears into the water, seeking out the silhouettes of salmon and trout lurking beneath the surface. The thrill of the catch is palpable as the fishermen pull their prized catches from the water, their faces alight with satisfaction and pride. The tradition of spearing salmon and trout at Lystringen Lake continues to this day, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the unique and unforgettable adventure of this ancient fishing practice. This photograph, taken circa 1851, offers a glimpse into the rich marine life and the deep connection to nature that has long defined the Norwegian fishing culture.
