The Making of the Ponoi Short Films Pt I
This movie is not a classic ‘making of’ film but it is the ‘raw’ or Go Pro side of hooking, playing and filming one of the wonderful autumn run fish in the short film on The Fishing Seasons.

But as I left things improved a bit and I was able to see some wonderful views down the fjord and overlooking Eskifjordur. My destination was Egilsstadir and then on to Seydisfjordur which I had heard was another wonderful drive and outpost …
