After the heavy rain that we have had for the last couple of days, I thought that they might be letting water out the lake at the barrage and that it might be stirring up some of the local Salmon population.
I decided to take a half day from work and was excited when someone at the office told me they had seen a news report on TV last night saying that an unusual amount salmon had been seen splashing around in Stockholms ström.
I went for a walk around Skeppsholmen and Kastellholmen casting as I went and I saw more Salmon and Seatrout in 3 hours than I have in 4 years of living in Sweden. Some absolute crackers were jumping clear out the water, but they were probably 100 or so meters off the bank, so out of casting reach. If only I had a boat!
All I ended up catching was a small perch (but I wasn’t too unhappy as that’s the first perch I have caught this year).
Gary,
that looks like a Toby you took your Perch on.
Should try a modified Sutherland Special!!!
Hope you were not fishing from the bridge as this can upset certain people.
