Fishing the Capital

I'm in the midst of planning a mini fishing trip.
Gonna pop down to Stockholm over christmas since i'm fairly close anyways.
The aim is set on seatrout and i'll be fishing with the lads from Troutpassion, something to wich i'm greatly looking forward to.

Right now it's talks about the best flies, where to stand,depth to fish and all that anticipation that comes with planning a trip.
Of course,as always, you find yourself thinking that the very first cast will grant you that big one.
Not likely but you know the feeling!

If i'm at all successfull it will be my first seatrout ever.
There is also a slim slim chance at salmon but the trout is the main target.

I'm planning to make a stop in Gävle and fish there as well on my way down the country to try for some seatrout there as well.
So a 14' pole, heavy sinking tips,skagit lina and big colourfull flies!
I'm really excited!


I'll probably keep posting in the comming days as i'll tie some more flies for the trip.

New line - Ace Skagit

I have been looking for a used skagit line to save some money but couldn't find  a proper one and buckled (or got myself a birthday present,after all it's upcoming!).

I landed on the line iv'e been looking at all along, the Vision Ace Skagit.
got a 610 grain/39 gram line for my #9-10 Zpey Zero 14'.
Bit on the overload perhaps but it's a fairly stiff rod.

On the other hand,some swear by it that you can and should overload a rod for skagit severly.

The box says "A package full of kickass" and i'm hoping that'll hold true, tossing big flies is allright with the scandi line but the heavy tips hardly lift of the water (well,not getting any distance at least.)

So here I go, skagit, i'm gonna pop down to the river at the first chance and try it out.
