2011 - Scania lake - 21 August
First time at my local lake this year and quite late in the year to fish it . In better years i would possibly fish it 10 times at least by now ! In fact recent years has seen a decline in its fortunes and i believe that is due to the very clear water where as normal year would see a very nice 'green' tinge in the water which makes it more comfortable for the fish to feed in .
I was going to fish yesterday but the weather was damp ,raining and over cast and i did not wish to make my cold/cough of 2 weeks duration any worse so the weather forecast predicted sundays weather to be the best . Recent trips by Johan Tikkannen ,Mats Larsson and Lars Boden have realised great catches of roach and skimmers, so a return to this former prolific water was a must. How will i do ?
The gear all set up ready......i started with a pole rig of a DINO Super Carp R 2gr on 0.13 line straight thro to a Tubertine 14's . Another rig was a DINO Fox 1.6gr on 0.13 line to a 16's Tubertini , to be used more 'up' in the water. I had a 5m whip set up with a MILO Texier 2.5gr to an 18's Tubertini.
My favourite place under the trees to the right of where Johan ,Mats and Bodda had fished on previous occations.

The 'battle' equipment
The Menu for today
I caught well on the 11-13m pole then it died and i went onto a top 4 pole and 5m whip and caught well on double caster. Returned to the pole and fished up in the water by 20-30cm off bottom on the caster and had larger skimmers and roach . Last hour fished at 4m after the wind turned 180 degrees towards me , the catching became less and i only took only a few fish in the last hour even though i tried desperately to retrieve my formal catch ratio
Had approx . 70-30 roach - skimmers percentage with 4 bigger skimmers for about 11-ish kilos. My roach were mostly big and the skimmers small and i filled my large broundbait bowl to half-way when emptying the keepnet. The roach were definately bigger than what Mats,Johan and Bodda had caught so there seemed to be a larger hierachy of fish away from the corner area where the 3 had previously fished. Yet i had fewer fish than the boys. What a great day though , to get so many bites and to get so many big roach , roach that i have not seen in this lake ever ! The lakes form really does bode well for the future and hopefully for future DM matches !!
To summarise : Use minimal groundbait but use plenty of free bait like hemp ,maggots and a little corn but definately use alot of caster as it was my main catching bait plus worm also.
Also; Those diving ducks that had wrecked Johan and Mats fishing on previous days were kept away by my continual bombardment of stone warning shots fired from my trusty catapult . (However some very nice people arrived at the lake with many loafs of bread and fed the duck population , so much so the ducks were never interested in feeding for the rest of the day :-)

HAD A CALL FROM STOCKHOLM TOP-ROD , LARS BODEN YESTERDAY STATING HE HAD A NICE BAG OF ROACH ON THE POLE. THATS GREAT NEWS AS RECENT YEARS HAS SEEN A DECLINE IN FORTUNES FROM THE LAKE. JOHAN TIKKANEN DECIDED TO VISIT IT TODAY TO ALSO CHECK OUT SOME GREAT SPORT FOR 4 HOURS ......SEE HOW HE DOES .....
Johan started to take fish again once we managed to get the diving ducks aways from the catchment area.
They came in the 80-160gram size plus a few skimmers
The roach were in fantastic condition
Keep coming

Estimated 80 roach and skimmers in 4 hours but problems with diving ducks in the swim another 30 fish could have been achieved ........still a nice weight of 7 kilos
