Leksand ,june 2009

Another visit to Leksand in Dalarna,at the banks of Dalälven river ended up with accidently(as usual)catching massive ide (thanks,Alan).The river was fish wise unexciting,just couple of tiny perch caught on ledgered worm after hours sitting around.


It was caught on the stick with attached line,float and hook that was for Suso to trash around,with bit of corn for colour effect.It clicked 1.6kg!!! with approx.45 cm length.Amazingly enough at the same spot was captured possibly the same fish 2 years ago,in similar manner.Back then it had 1.45kg.Or maybe I wish that white fish can be territorial as well.With absolute lack of its own species or another (rudd,bream,pike etc.) in the neighbourhood of jetty it was the only thing I ever spot in the water.

Hi Rafa, pretty sure this is not a Roach, but a nice IDE, still a cracking fish. Simon got one of these in April, though not as big as yours here, pictures on the blog.Bronze tones and Chub like head all look like Ide to me....
