Skagit on Fly TV

On thuesday and wednesday Mattias Drugge and I visited River Nyköpings to shoot a 20min long episode of Fly TV with Johan and Pontus from Kanalgratis. With just -3c in the air and 0,6c in the water I can say it was quite cold standing in the river all day. The episode will be on kanalgratis site on You Tube and I will put the link here on the blog.


And last but not lest we want to thank Conny and all River Nyköpings local fishermens that didn't get so upset at us when we occupied some pools to get good pictures!

Tie TV - No ties just nice flies!

I have now made two new fly tying films for Tie TV at Kanalgratis studion in Stockholm. Also the Vision/Fly Dressing guys Niklaus Bauer, Daniel Bergman and Mattias Drugge made a couple of flies each. I think my flies worked out quite well and the other boys patterns looked amazing! So look out for the first patterns on You Tube and Tie TV

Happy New Fishing Year!

Not many days left of the 2012 fishing season now and some fishing trips for the next season is already planed. This season have had it's good and bad days but overall I'm quite pleased. The sea trout fishing in my home river Ljungan was realy bad all season. The Salmon season was better for me with some nice fishes over 22lbs even that I had health problems in June.

Now it's time to fill up the fly boxes again and there will be some new interesting patterns to try out next season. Have been tying all synthetic flies in diffrent styles that hopefuly will catch some nice chromers for me all through next season.

So now I would like to wish all my blog readers a Happy New Fishing Year!

A nice day by the river!

The 21th of November and +8c in the air so it was a perfect day for fishing Sea trouts! I meet my buddie Marcus at the river around 8:00 and we tackled up our rods and started to fish. Not much happend trough the day until Marcus hooked up with a nice 2,5kg sea trout that gave him a nice fight! It was Marcus first ever Sea trout in River Ljungan but it won't be his last I got a feeling abouth! When the sun set behind there threes we decided to call it for the day. It was a great day anyway even if not the fishing were at it's best but when the weather is so good it's just nice to be out and meet friends on the river bank before the winter realy kicks in here!

Storm & Sea trouts!

On wednesday I got up early to go down to Ljusne again for some Sea trout fishing. When I looked out my bedroom window the threes was realy shaking in the strong winds so for a moment I was thinking abouth going back to bed again. After a cup of coffe I decided to go down to Ljusne anyway so I took my Vision Cult 13,8 #9 that works great in windy conditions and left my single hand skagit rig at home. Normaly I use both the 13,4 #7 Siks and Cult when fishing in Ljusne but also the 11,6 #7 GT Four and the 12,6 #6 Cult I use there and all loaded with Vision Ace Skagit heads.

After an 1.5 hour drive I pull in to the gas station and bought a dayticket and 2 minutes later I was down on the parking lot to Ljusne Fiskeklubbs beats. I jumped into my vaders and could start to fish right away in the middle pool called Goudes. The wind was now realy nasty but with the fown stream c-spey I got out the line in the water. Started to fish with the 13,4 Siks with a Bacon Roll Squidtruder on my leader and had one offer right away but nothing more. It was realy cold in the wind so after a cup of coffe in the fishing hut I waded out again.
Got one smaller Sea trout around 1kg right away in great that was released then I had to go to the hut again for some more coffe. Changed rod to the 13,8 with a heavier tip and had a fish right away but it came off. Two casts later I had a bite on the Bacon Roll cascade so I checked the fly and hook before trying again and bang... a better fish had taken the fly and after a nice fight I could return a 2kg bar of silver!
Waded out again and caught a smaller fish right away. By now my fingerwas realy cold so I had some more coffe to warm up my frozen body. Was sitting in the hut before I waded out in the river again and lost two right away and one of them feelt to be a bigger fish. Continued down pool and hooked up with 2 Sea trouts around 1kg then the fishing got slower with just some pulls on my flies.

After a shorter lunch break the light seams diffrent so i changed pattern from the orange/black BR to the Purple BT Intruder shrimp on the 13,4 Siks and caught two smaller Sea trouts right away. Now it was getting colder in the air and the sun started to go down but I decided to fish on for an hour before calling it the day. I had tied on a Smör-Saari tube on my 13,8 Cult and went in the water again. I fished down the pool but did not even have the smallest pull so when I had just two or three casts before I was at the end of the pool I had realy good offer but did not hook up. Took two more steps down and did another cast and fish on!
Feelt right away it was a heavier fish that was a real fighter and gave my a good fight. It was a colored fish around 3kg in great condition that I could take some pictures of before releasing it back into the river!

Buy now I had landed 8 Sea Trouts and lost at least 5 fishes so I was very pleased with my day! But decided to fish the pool one more time before going home. After 10-15 casts I was in to a nice fish so I started to get back to the bank and started to reel in the fish it made a run and came off... Went in the water again but had no more contact with any fish this day. I packed my stuff in the car and went home to take a long hot shower as I was chilled to the bone buy this time.
