Weather really good so that window of opportunity arose to go Trosa considering the season closes on September 14th - all for the Trout !!! You can see from the picture how overgrown it is after having a very hot summer and it was also noticeable how low the water was
Two rods at the ready , one stick float and one waggler , a spare setup rod in the bag if needed
A party yesterday and later the people came to tidy and clear it up
Sun now full on , time to apply the sun cream
Yes , just 29 fish over 5 hours fishing , tough going but great to get out
Since my accident and feeling better to get out and fish matches i decided to fish the Litzell-Family invitation match somewhere past Jönköping on the way to Borås !?
I travelled Friday night and went straight to my lodgings . Saturday morning it only took 10 minutes to this exclusive private venue
Litzell Family a credit to Swedish fishing
Henrik and Ludvig showed me around the venue , this is Peg 5 and guess what , i drew it !
Great friend Per-Erik and for first time to meet Sandor from Denmark. Also nice to see Charles and Clas again as not seen them for a few years.
Gathering for the draw
My office for the day
Peg 5 ...... i was advised to fish 11m out plus margins and possible 'long-line' to the pads
It started well as i had three carp in first 30 minutes and lost one on the paste. The wind came and spoilt presentation so i decided on starting a 3+2 then a 2+2 on paste which yielded a further 10 carp however there were long blank spells in the ever increasing rain. I probably missed several bites and lost just the two fish . I located no fish in margins or even the long line to the Pads.
I fished MATRIX Margin , Paste and F1 floats on mostly 0.18 MATRIX line to GURU S MWG Barbless size 12 and 14's barbless.
Used my new MATRIX XTR500 with 5 top 2's using MATRIX 10-12 , 12-14 , 14-16's elastic.
Bait was SONUBAITS MUSSEL for the paste and SONUBAITS Feed 2mm pellets in a flavour (shhhh)
Enjoyed the fishing as it was my first time on a Swedish Carp venue and i had not fished paste for years since being on English commercials.
Weigh in time and young Ludvig the No1 on the day from peg 1
Per-Erik also good weight from the right hand pool
Good friend Rikard with a few
I think Joakim was first to catch within 5 minutes of the match start with this big-one
Sandor from Denmark only fished method all day and had a commendable catch
Emil also started with a big carp but like most on the left hand pool it was tough at times
Henrik with a few
Jonathan with a 2nd place weight also on the right hand pool
Huge thank you to Henrik and Ludvig for helping carry my gear back as my left knee is not good . After the match as i started to walk back with my hands full of gear to the car and my left knee just gave away and i fell to the ground on my left shoulder !!! .....i managed to get up but clearly my left knee is not right. When i got back to the hotel i noticed the swelling was up .
Sunday morning and my knee is not the best of condition and its uncomfortable when i walk as i cannot get the knee joint moving as normal . I decided to contact Henrik and inform him i shall go home. Tomorrow i must make an appointment to have the knee looked at as i want to get fixed before going to Gotland.
The GURU sponsored Feeder weekend event was back in the fixture list as last year it was not fished . It was 2 years ago i managed to win both days with weights of 6.5 and 9.5 kilo returns ....... will it fish similar this time ?
2026 - Champion is Russ with two wins and the only Bream to be caught.
Surrounded by gorgeous River Klarelven
New to the river is this grilling station.
The anglers start to congregate
Organiser Mikael Nyman with P-O preparing the peg draw
Happy Metmask customer
My peg 7 for the day - took me ages to setup as my left knee is not ready yet
Today was my first outing since my Knee accident and i decided on a easy peg to get me started with limited problems down to the waters edge . My Leg is still stiff but its getting stronger and soon marathon running !?!?!😂😂😂
Kept the fishing simple with a method feeder and a 7m whip fishing for anything . In the end i got 31 roach all on the corn feeding SONUBAITS Natural BREAM and SWEET BREAM mix with 2mm pellets . No indications on method feeder about 16m out - maybe tomorrow ?
