First time again!

Sunday was some what of a second premier since my fishing friend had spent the past weeks on vacation. It was also the first time he lay a cast into river Ätran and we fished most of the beat to get a feeling for where and how to fish it in the future. We will probably spend most of the Saturday mornings this season fishing the beat in Falkenberg.

The seasons second spring fish was caught during the time we where fishing unfortunately not by us... we had been told two spring fish had been caught earlier but one of them turned out to bee a kelt! Hard to see the difference sometimes even though that fish was caught by an experienced angler. The salmon caught yesterday however had sea lice on it and was a nice fish at 5,8 kg.

Water level is now dropping about 10 cm / day and water temperature was yesterday at 7,3° C.
It was fairly windy until noon but for the afternoon wind was OK, the sun scattered the clouds and was shining from a clear blue sky. It turned out to be a nice day for salmon fishing!
The super fast sinking tippet is now packed in my vest and casting is starting to work better, need some more time practising still.
