2025 - May20th - Köping fish with Jamie

A window of opportunity was possible to fish as i received an invite from Jamie to fish Köping a water that was match fished two years ago. The weather was exceptional considering there has been few days this year with any consistent warmth. 

So i made the journey and met up with the lad who was already well set up when i arrived. I chose a spot to his right and that made both of us in the middle of this match length.

The venue is now even more accessible as the whole match length allows car to your peg 

From my position looking right there is room for another 8 pegs  

My set up 

Jamie in the 'mix'  .........  looking further down the left there is room for another 8 pegs 

The man, the myth, the Chelsea maniac

We fished 5 hours from 13:00 pm and we enjoyed steady return of mostly small fish on a very bright sunny day which is not always conducive to decent fishing .

After a bite less first 10 minutes then fish started to arrive and after the 5 hour period i had amassed 44 fish for just about 2.5 kilos . But it was not always 100% pole fishing as i tried repeatedly to gain a few on the feeder and only gaining two see-though skimmers.

A better fish of my catch

Mostly 'Bottle-tops' skimmers and Bjorkna but i had three 'netters' amongst the catch

'The Jamie' did much better and secured a good 5 kilos of decent stamp

It is a technical water to fish but its makes you think how best to approach it . Pole was by far the best method today but normally feeder scores well but not today . In previous visits in the last week he had connected well with some decent Bream ...........

The depths are about 3.5-4.5 metres and there is always a good colour in the canal. Best attack is worm and caster with dark leam and soil and for feeder a nice dark sweet mix .But others may choose differently.

We shall book a match for this match length and place an invite very soon .

The score was 1-0 to Chelsea  (revenge for the Cup final loss against us  😂😂😂😂)
