Mattias Larsson from the Constellation organised a new fixture and this was at the normal autumn venue of Soderhamn. I placed myself on the list as it also gave me and my girlfriend an opportunity to visit her relations at Hudiksvall. We arrived on the Thursday to find some of the competitors practising but with very low expectations this reflected in their catches of few skimmer and lots of micro-roach :(
We stopped in the First Choice hotel which was only 2 minutes from the venue !
Apart from the Heavy rock concert in the hotel on the Friday night our sleep was undisturbed and i could only dream of a canal full of Bream and Ide , did my dream become reality ?
The gathering and watching of the Enstrom mixing kitchen.
Wonderful information given on all the potential species to catch.
The first day was very disappointing and no significant weights were assembled and winning catches for the sections being made up of Bleak !! .......i had no whips with me so that was out , i could only concentrate on skimmer and roach and anything else that swam !
Second day , and the pitch and putt opposite looked more interesting ! The 2nd day only proved marginally better than yesterday , really great shame for Mattias as the potential for the place could realise huge shoals of Bream and Ide but unfortunately the spring had been up and down with temperatures not making it condusive to proper angling thus the low weights we received.
Hopefully i will come next year and we also hit it right . But also i hope the Norrkoping match can be on a different date so i can fish both :)
Well done Mattias for a job well done and a great shame about the weights.
