First clip from fishing in Stockholm
So here's a small clip that Patrick shot with his head-cam.
I was standing beside him,we were talking to another guy and he was just lazily placing his fly out in the stream and was rather surprised that he got a bite.
On the other hand it was propably not a big one and he wasn't very scuffed about loosing it.
Mattias shot a bit more and i'm eagerly waiting for his edit!

There and back again
If Bilbo would have brought a 2 hand rod on his trips instead of a stick.
I wonder wha fishing is like in middle earth.
Anyways...
I'm back from my trip down the country.
Visited family and fished a couple of days.
I've already told you about Gävle so here's Stockholm!
I got picked up by car,the luxury of it was not lost to me, and we arrived at the Stockholm stream at about a quarter to six in the morning.
Just half an hour later the first fish was hooked by Patrick and i jumbled to get the net ready while Mattias got the camera.
Unfortunatly the fish snagged on a rock and got loose.
That one was probably big,the second one he hooked was a bit smaller.
To me it was a moodraiser though, now we knew the fish was there!
We kept on fishing but to little success.
We changed the spot and i really found it wierd and interesting fishing amongst the houses and trying to anchor the line while standing by a wall 5 metres above the water.
My favourite spot of the day was just downstream of the house of government, it was possible to wade and make proper casts.
All and all there were two fish hooked by Patrick but none landed over the day, i got a possible take but it would have just bit the wing of the fly and not the hook.
It was great fun,i delivered the swap flies and i got to do a bit of fishing, talk about fishing with people equally interested and try my luck on the seatrout of our capital.
A good day and i hope i get to fish with these lads again!

Halfway there
So,i've survived the christmas,it was really nice in fact.
As i said i stayed in Gävle to do some seatrout fishing but unfortunatly no takers.
On the other hand,none of the other three people doing flyfishing that day caught anything either.
Mus have been one of those days and winter flyfishing IS hard.
When you see winter steelhead flyfishing films out there filmed in the US their winer seems more like our early November.
Here it's up to a metre of snow and down to -20 when we go fishing.
Tomorrow it's time for the fishing highlight of the trip when i meet the lads from Troutpassion in Stockholm and try my luck at the seatrout there.
