Always take that window of opportunity for a session at Trosa . Unfortunately i worked the day before preparing some project work so its really worthwhile taking the drive and i did at 05:15am in the morning.
I was first to get there so i took up my favourite position on the corner. Where else !😆
Set up 2 rods with DH 3gr and 4gr floats to size 8 PresTon N20 HOOKS. Also a 6m whip
So idyllic
First 11 casts was 11 fish of large size Roach - staggering , must have been 7lb at least
The corner and the fish and the view to myself
Rutilus rutilus Dogious Roachius
Bjorkna so fat and probably the biggest i have ever caught ! easily 2lb !
Fished from 07:00am till 12:30pm for 303 fish - i decided to stop as i knew it would be difficult to haul up the nets , and it was !
On the way home decided to visit the fish pass
What a great job they have made of renewing the bank with brand new boards
Where else could i go !? With the fish coming in then activity was everywhere as there must have been over 50 drop-shot / Jig anglers spread along the bank when i arrived !! Pasi was there and gave me the thumbs up on the Bohmans Hotel side . I managed to secure my favourite corner peg and set up the 14' rod to a Dave Harrell 4gr Bolo float to size 10 hook . Also a T5 with 12-14 elastic and a 6m whip .
The day was glorious warm sunshine and the fish responded but later the cold wind made it uncomfortable.
End of my day and i ate the last sandwich and took a coffee and watched as the anglers took up so many fish in the NOW return of the warmer weather sun
Spoke with Mats recently about getting to the Feeder match length for a test of how well it could fish? Both of us were early there at about 07:15am-ish . I fished the 'DOG' section and Mats went to the main 'Match elite' section. Cold wind facing so it was not exactly comfortable but fingers crossed the fish might respond.
35mm Camera battery gave up even at 72% (i need new batteries )
After 10 minutes i had a nice Bream on the Method feeder with SONUBAITS Banofee Spike-um wafter .
Another followed 20 minutes later
Fine Rain made it uncomfortable
A 3rd on the method on the hour mark
Then a 4th
Had a 5th followed by a Ide
Now it was dam freezing !!!!!! Rain and wind even harder !!!
Menu table all set up for Method fishing
6 fish all on method , lost 2.
I took a walk to Mats after getting my gear back in the car
Easily a section of 4 from the 'boards'
Easily 8 pegs on Dog section without any weed work
Mats first peg in on the 4 Chairs section where 5 pegs can be achieved
He finished with 18 and you can see from his face just how dam cold it was
Expectancy in the air as Lead Bailiff Pasi informed me that fish were starting to show in the town. Great! as its where i shall head for, and i did!
I decided to try the corner peg before making my mind up where to fish. So i set up my pre-setup stick float rod and cast in , few seconds later i played a roach .........that was it .......brought my kit over and setup
Stick float rod , T5 Pole , and two 5.5m whips
Beautiful !
First hour was insane as my first 15 fish were Big Roach
A few hours later i was joined by my 2 of my 3 Swedish daughters , also my granddaughter 'Selma' who is on my family fishing ticket ...... she caught 6 fish !
Wind started to blow hard and i was putting on layers of clothing
I estimated i had 18 kilos and 22 kilos , let's call it 35 kilos ......181 fish
Second time out at Trosa this year and with the all day sun and no wind and a lot warmer temperatures its a must visit but will there be any fish ?
Construction work taking place limiting positions to fish from.
Heavy stuff
07:45 am and no other anglers here yet , ummm ! what do they know that i dont ?
Morning mist is evaporating as the Sun starts to dominate
Feeder first with little pole at 11m and a whip at 7m
Sadly , no fish and no fish i heard or seen on a few anglers that did turn up . Thats the way it is sometimes and no doubt with continued warm weather next week then i believe the fish will arrive , i hope!
