2021 - Trosa October 17th - Team DM match - Trout don't count !

On the Saturday 16th October at the same venue the individual DM was fished and unfortunately the top weight was 600 grams , yes 600 grams ! Yet behind us in the main course of the canal from the town the water will be saturated in shoals of Bream , Roach , Ide , Bjorkna and Perch however we are not allowed to fish it !? 

The lunacy of this is that the authorities deem it a problem to have anglers fishing for all other fish and that will upset migrating and breeding Trout ? This is incredulous as when has anyone seen a trout or even caught one in all the 20 years i have fished here ? Staggering ! Obviously this decision is not to dissimilar to England and Wales (Scotland and Ireland/s no ) where they have close season March 14th to June 15th yet canals and commercials it is okay you can fish 365 days. This has nothing to do with trout but more like ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY in bed with the ANGLING TRUST to keep a few anglers happy that their Barbel and Chub are not being upset during that period . I and sure Cormorants and Otters have disturbed them a lot more .However that is England and not here in Sweden .

Anyway onto the fishing , rant over !

Trosa steeped in history as a fishing town and its sports fishing club was started in 1934. Today a message board was placed so that hopefully the walking public can beware of our fishing and the amount of gear that we use .

Well ! it was rumoured the weights good be progressively better today as historically it has been like that before that on the 2nd day the fish have moved in , have they ?

It was frustrating for all 9 anglers as the only fish feeding was micro-bleak , with a few Herrings and later in the day some small Roach were caught .........i even saw a few Jelly Fish !!! 

I managed to get the best weight on the day with a hard earned 1.260 kilo made up of about 100 plus small fish . I was so disappointed for the organisers and for the guys fishing .
