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.

Nyfors; 4th August 2009

3lb. 2oz. Bream..

A warm still day, not a lot going on fish wise!

A rather dissapointing day, ended up at Nyfors after most other sites proved to be crowded with sunbathing swedes! Best a surprise in the form of a 3lb. 2oz. Bream that came from the margins on a float rig, a nice bonus giving 3 points. The afternoon was dead, though stayed on until 8pm. after Ed and Karl and the family departed, only to find more frustration. Around 7pm I had two runs on the livebaits I had legered, one fish came of after a few seconds, the second dropped the bait. Annoying after waiting all day for a run....

Möya; 2nd August 2009

1lb 6oz. from the lake this afternoon in blazing sunshine...

Much sunnier conditions today, a scorcher of a day in fact. Spent the whole afternoon and early evening fishing at the lake and must of caught a couple of hundred small perch on the worm before resorting to float fished live baits in the hope of a bigger fish. Two takes soon followed, one fish coming off, the other landed and weighed in at 1lb. 6oz, a really nice fish. Would like to spend more time at this lake as I feel it could hold some very big specimens due to the huge numbers of small fish in the lake for Perch to grow big on...

Möya; 1st August 2009

A cracking Perch of 1lb. 13oz., this on taken on legered worm....

A couple of days spent on Möya on the Stockholm Archipelago saw me fishing a small lake at the north of the island I know holds some lovely Perch. Wet conditions saw me spend just a couple of hours fishing legered worm in the late afternoon, a lot of small perch taken before I eventually struck into a powerful fish that gave a super scrap on the quivertip rod. The fish, a really dark coloured individual, tipped the scales at 1lb. 13oz.

Lidingö; 21st July 2009

A nice Perch of 1lb. 1oz. on a float legered perch livebait....

Lidingö the venue again today in tough conditions, really windy and squally conditions, the fish not feeding well at all. One nice Perch was taken, a fish weighing in just over the pound mark...
