2025 - January 14th and 19th January - Trosa

 Tuesday 14th January

My first fishing outing of 2025 and i made my customary visit to Trosa and not really expecting to catch using my match tactics so i expect to cast several times on Jig and Drop-shot and cross fingers i get a fish. Recent form suggested many fish were in from the premier start of the season and receiving some great catch pictures from Pasi the Head bailiff with a large Perch of 1.650gr and 47cm long ...... that is a brute of a fish!

.....and another specimen

Double take 

Small Zander also

So on arrival i started to view the 'fish-pass' area where the viewing camera is situated and you can follow the fish that pass up and down stream by going to the website ;

Favourite place in the summer .........sun tan and bulging nets

Canoe slalom water 😁

I moved into the town opposite the Bohmans Hotel and the ice flow prevented many from fishing so the other side was best to fish from.

Renovation on the walk-way looks like a good job - Summer time it will be crowded with boats

So my first day was fish less , again, which i expected, however undaunted i shall be back 💪✌✊👍

Sunday 19th January

Having picked up a few tips from anglers on my last visit i decided to change my spools over to braid and try a few different things on my drop shot weights as well as getting my jig set up better , so i thought !?

I arrived at about 08:15 and already there was several anglers fishing . I decided to fish next to the fishing boat and work my way further into the town . I had a serious pull on my drop shot rod , missed bite or some obstacle in the water ? I will never know. The morning was predictably cold so gloves were required as a keen facing wind was gaining speed against our side of the river.

The ice on the other side was thinning out so this bodes well if i can get a time to go there in the week and fish my conventional way 

Looking out to the sea

About 10:15am Pasi arrived checking everyone for their fishing tickets , he knew everyone so his task was made easier . However since he arrived with the TROSA AFK the standard of fishing and the fishermen has improved immensely over the last few years and its so refreshing to see so many responsible anglers there , respecting the nature and the fish they catch . However there is a CATCH and RELEASE program just now and the club shows no sign of losing membership as Pasi informed me of a huge increase in ticket sales .....truly great news , this club through his persistence has now gained a respect and thats why anglers come here to fish.

It was about 10:45 am that i decided to give it up as clearly i was not going to get any fish yet there was a few anglers gaining a few takes but the fish appeared to be in a ball and those that could cast there were getting indications , mostly very small Perch.

Dont forget ! , get yourself a ticket and join the club
