Stockholm Strömmen; 27th August 2008

A 10lb. Salmon from Strömmen...

A 5lb Seatrout taken just after dusk...

Popped down to Stockholm Ström for a couple of hours in the late evening and fished an hour into darkness. The late autumn run is begining now with both Seatrout and Salmon coming through in big numbers, with some colossal fish present. Seatrout run well over 20lb. here and Salmon as large as 50lb.!
Fished a tube fly on a long leader from a three way swivel, with an 80 gram weight required to get the fly down in the very strong flow and happily lost very little tackle. No fish fell to my rod but fish were taken by others during the evening, a couple of which I took snaps of and have posted here to whet the appetite! Will be getting out over the next few months and into the winter in pursuit of that dream fish, a large Seatrout really would be something special...
