Fish and politics

Salmon paradise near home

15 minutes drive from home (if traffic is pleasant) a little peace of paradise is hiding! Säveån was as nice as I had thought – if not even better. It is a fairly small river and in summertime I think my 13,7 rod will bee a bit to much... but this wonderful place, I gladly fish on a single hand rod instead.
It is in the beginning of its season, witch started may first! Maybe kelts already has moved downstream and maybe spring fish is on their way but today there was no signs of fish!
This is a river close to the city and is well worth a visit – if not for salmon fishing at least for the wonderful nature surrounding the river! I will probably return soon!

Time to go fishing again.

Last weekend I did not go fishing at all, first weekend this season with no fishing... I thought I should try a new stream today instead. Since I live in Göteborg the closest stream I have is river Säveån! This river is producing fairly big fish and in 2005 a salmon at 17,64 kg were caught by fly and fly rod, biggest rod caught so far!

I have been told this beat is a green oasis close to the city but I haven't had the opportunity to fish it before. The beat is not producing a lot of fish and I have therefore spent most of my time fishing in rivers with a bigger number of landed fish. Today however I just feel like fishing and this is close to home!
