2023 - March 26th Nykoping river below the bridge

The weather was looking good for this weekend about a week ago then suddenly the weather became very changeable and Sunday became the worst day which Mats and i had planned for . Undaunted by the days cold Mats was first to arrive and by the time i got there he was already fishing but awaited the first indication of a feeding fish .

I arrived and immediately we started to talk of the match possibilities of this venue and prospectively how many anglers we could fit in ? After about 15 minutes i started to get cold so i returned to the car for a hot coffee and added more layers of warmth to my head and body.

I decided to walk the match length and take prospective photos and videos .

Mats waiting for an indication 

Good view of the bank opposite that could be used in a larger match ?

Walked up to the road bridge where the river was really pulling through due to the previous days heavy rain and melting snow .

From the bridge looking opposite where fishing positions are attainable 

From the bridge looking down the boardwalk which could house 12-15 position easily , all comfortable positions .

 

End of that boardwalk and it dog-legs and still available could be 4-5 positions ? 

Looking back to the bridge 

So , today i actually doubted our sanity in coming out on a day in the damp freezing cold however a breath of fresh (cold) air is always good . Most importantly this reconnoiter is valuable information for the match we intend to run here on April 23rd (hopefully not so many boats in the water then ?) We also will run possibly a 2 match weekend on October 22nd/23rd again depending on boats moored up will determine its go ahead .
