2010 NORRKOPING LINDO KANAL DAY 1 - PART1

I drove an hour down the E4 motorway to the famous Lindo Kanal in Norrkoping . This venue has been outstanding in recent years but has failed to emulate the record 119.5 kilos of Bream caught in one 5 hour match 4 years ago. Will this weekend see that record broken?.......the signs are not good as an elongated winter paralleled with a cold spring keeping water level high in lakes and rivers.
Arriving there i could see the regulars from the last 2 years events. Expectancy is very high ............How will it fish ?


Kent Adell mixing it !


Draw time - the usual banter and jokes - fisherman the same the world over.


who is disappointed ?

The 27 anglers gather around to listen to organiser Christer Engval,Patrik and Holst.

The draw starts and match-favourite Mattias Larsson(ator) is in for his draw

Kent Adell , the Stu Conroy of Sweden's match scene and recent winner of the Arboga open.

Fredricco Van Geersson (better known as Freddan)

My draw takes me to the bottom section where 20 kilos is a good weight. To my left is Freddan .

To my right is Calle Roslin , to his right is the talismanic Stefan Holst .
