The final match of the series awaited the 10 who took on this last gathering as we met on a cold morning in Upsala. The series has been superb testing different areas of the towns river system (but technically its a canal) . Todays match took place on the canoe section where the water was more streamy and boily in parts . Unfortunately without our prior knowleadge the water was to be shared with a huge competition of orienteering taking place that weekend . We experienced alot of runners behinds us and later people racing on mountain bikes but worse was they all came buy in canoes , so things were not so quite :-((
The match series is sponsored by Swedbait http://www.swedbait.se/ and this is the first year of the competitions conception devised by MAU stalwart Johan Tikanen . Next year we hope to continue the success of the series and expand it even more.
Big thanks to all the 16 people who have fished the competition and hopefully return next year .
Talking with Johan we are possibly thinking of running some large weeknd competitions or possible a festival as the town has everything , accomadation , easy parking and of course great surroundings.
Net year we will add further sponsorers to this competition and increase prizes etc....
The Match ...........
Johan in his usual organising way talked to the field of competitors on this the final match of the Series
My mix for the day was to go for quite a dark mix so i used several bags of Mondial ,VDE and TopMix with 2 bags of Black dispersing Trapper Leam.
Nice view from my peg of the lagenhets near by , nice place to live !! - The runners just going by also so there was plenty happening today on the Fyris.
What a beautiful river section this is - reminds me alot of the river soar back in the UK
The match started and i placed 10 hard balls on the 13m pole line and a few on the 5m line
I caught a roach after 5 minutes by placing mywhip on the box holder and took a coffee , while that happened i had an indication and a fish ! ....good start . I did that for the first 30 minutes and took 4 roach . Then i tried the 13m line where i used a 8gram EA2004 on a long line and took a roach on the first cast then started to place the pole in the holder and go for that approach and i tyieled me 2 more roach.
Then for the rest of the match i caught on 5 metres 'trotting' the float slowly River Soar/Trent style and eventually ended up with 21 roach . The day was made worse by streams of canoeists running over everyones baited areas , there was nothing we could do about it .
