Opening day in River Ljungan 16/11 2011

After the month long spawning break River Ljungan opend up for fishing after the winter run Sea trouts. The weather was fine with +2C in the air and +6C in the water so the conditions to catch some fish was good. I meet my Friends Mattias and dick down by the river and after some coffe and talking we started fishing. Had fished half the pool when I had a desent pull on the fly but nothing more so I carried on swinging my Orange Rubber legged Intruder down the pool. Nearly at the end of the pool I hooked the first fish of the day and even if it not was the biggest fish it realy gave me a good fight and got my adrenaline flowing. The 3lbs fish was fresh from the sea and after putting the small chrome rocket back in the river I went to celebrate my catch with cup of coffe. Just as I come back to my backpack Dick had his first fish on and after a short fight he could land a small fish to. Then we fished for abouth 3 hours and had some strikes on our flies but non of the fishes wanted to play... Even if not the fishing was the best we had a great time on the banks of Ljungan and thanks to Mattias and Dick for the company.
