2012 - Acksjon , a trout water.

Change of fishing for me as recently i have been interested in trout fishing influenced by a good friend ; Per Magnusson whom i have worked with at Scania RCIE . We had previously trout fished one evening some 3 weeks ago and i found the art of casting very frustrating as i expected it to be easy , however it is a different science to the normal competition fishing which i am more accustomed to. Since the first visit to Acksjon i have managed a lesson in fly casting with Per's friend Stig and it helped for sure as today's visit was a improvement on my first introduction.
(my first visit actually seen me drain Per's collection of fly's by 6 !! , so i need to improve on the losses   )



We arrived at the car park and the walk to the lakes takes about 15 minutes , once there you have to negotiate very damp ground with slippery rocks , but is worth getting there to see this : -

The day ended with both of us not catching yet Par had two takes and no luck . The weather deteriorated near to the end of the day as the steady drizzle became rain.

Only lost 2 flys' ....... i must be getting better :-)

            But i hope to be back again before the end of the year - With a new rod and reel !!

                                      LATER ! 23rd October .......................

Par delivered my new rod a ORVIS Clearwater 9' 6 Wt and ORVIS Encounter IV reel.

Big thanks to Par !
