13/7 2011 Summer bows in the creek with Feskebloggen

Well ... we are entring the fall here in Sweden and I am looking back on some pics from the summer adventures. 13/7 went Oaklind Flyfishing and Emil Filipsson from Feskebloggen on an little trip to my secret creek for some wild rainbow fishing. It is small stream and as Emil prefers it; "where the Wind in the trees, birds chirping, water beads and the mosquitoes are as big as sparrows and chop as Mora knives in the back. Apart from that, watching the small rainbows frantically in the stream and smock itself increasingly as a bypass. Probably at some time far back in time slipped from a farm and had entered through a tributary". We had a blast and the fishing was good, the cigars tasted lovely and the friendship was great, as it should be with flyfishing.

This is what we came for.




A simple updated F-fly does the trick!




Emil with the biggest bow for the day, a lovely fish that striked twice.

A video that Emil has edited, there is one part that lacks of focus from the camera, I dont know what happend. Wild rainbow

27/8 2011 Lake fishing for bows!

Went to some small lakes with fishing buddy Gustav for some rainbowfishing. The rain was pouring down and there was some hysterical thunder and lightning on the way. But the sun was good to us and we had a great time. I forgot my camera but we managed to take some descent pics with my Iphone anyhow. My setup for the day was my old Hardy Princess and my new Sage Launch 9ft 5# rod. Boy, do that reel scream when a bow decide to take away... epic. The fly that worked best for me was a small size 16 black pupa. Returned one nice bow and lost one. Gustav managed to land one and lost one. Then the thunder and rain was over us again. A nice afternoon with a good friend, a cigar and some nice sandwiches.

The gear for the day!

I am realesing a nice bow, thanks for the take and the fight!
