Fantastic Fishing Day in the Worst Weather - Winter Coastal Fly Fishing
Coastal fly fishing on Gotland. With temperatures just above freezing, strong wind and snowfall the hopes of catching fish were low considering recent days didn't lead to any fish in the net. Had motivation enogh to go out anyway since my friend Simon came to visit and fish with me.

As an ecologist, I am proud to see you fight invasive species like a guardian of the trout! Especially considering that I know there is a great desire for sea running rainbow trout among many anglers. I am currently reading existing scientific literature for my thesis project and even though population density is a multifactorial process, it is not possible to ignore the fact that invasive species are speeding up a negative curve for our native trout. You are a very important fisherman Rainbow Robert, keep up the harvest 😤!
Thank you so much for your videos!!! it's a real breath of fresh air and what a joy to see the corners of peaches by your home!!! a pure madness, a real happiness!! thank you for your sharing
Påminner om en själv i sin ungdom när man var ute i ur och skur. 😁 Nu ligger jag mest bara på sofflocket och tittar på dina fantastiska fiskeäventyr. Men slutet av april så kommer jag o väter flugan på din ö😉. Stort tack för ännu en kanon-film!

Some European lake trout (also called 'ferox' tout, Salmo trutta, m. lacustris) also have a lot of spots on their tail fins.
Awesome videos, keep them coming! would love to see a catch&cook

Thanks. Your the first subscriber to ask for that. But so far I feel I don't do catch & cook. I do catch & tie 😊
Weather conditions that i love. I like trying to fish the swiss lake trout under à pale Grey sky like on your vidéo. Unfortunately missed for the moment, this fish is very hard to catch from the shore. I hope to come to gottland and try the seatrout one time in my life. Thanks for this cool video

Thanks Loic for sharing. Glad you like it!
Of those are farmed fish that escaped they sure are taking on characteristics of a steelhead
On the eastern coast (Estonia) we occasionally get them rainbows as well stably, probably escapees from Aland fish cages I guess. Here we farm them in Saaremaa for only three years and they've been a constant by catch earlier. Anyway superb catch, good you kept them, makes one wonder how many rainbows are actually cruising along the coast of the Baltic. Cheers!

Quick question; Do you have a personal limit for water temperature? Its often advised to not fish water below 4°C but I dont have the luxury to choose warmer waters atm, its around 1-2°C all over here (Sjælland, DK). I previously had fine catches in close to freezing water, but this year is very difficult, nothing seems to be lurking around allng the coastline, even when sun is out. Would you just stay home or?
Fantastic content man I really enjoyed this video 🎣,,,I have a question that I'm wondering if you can answer,,,,have you eaten fresh River rainbow if so is there a difference in taist to the ones you caught out of the ocean ?

Thanks, Calvin. There was a difference in taste to rainbows from put & take lakes. We don't have native or natural populations in streams in Sweden so I can't answer. Caught some in Chile, but I released them.

Those rainbows most likely are from Musholm, Denmark. A big batch of 70000 of the escaped before Christmas and they are all over the place around the danish waters.

@@FlyFishingbyRobert definetely, in a week and a half they were all they up to Frederikshavn on the other side of Denmark, and they went all the ways. They escaped not far from the bridge that connects Sjælland with Fyn, and from there they went both north and south of the bridge, and they went towards jylland all the way up to Skagen area which is far away, and people caught them there in the river system already just little over a week after they escpaped, they also went towards the 2 fjords, and up towards Helsingor. And the size you caught matches quite well between 2.5-4 kg

@@is94227 No way. Look at the tailes. No chance the fish from Musholm have developed such tailes already. And the fish from Musholm are ugly pellet bombs. Not like the ones caught by Robert.
Robert do you ever hook into regular salt only species? (not knowing what might be about in the Gotland waters)
@FlyFishingbyRobert
Жыл бұрын
The Baltic sea is a brackish ocean so most pure saltwater species don't exist here. But some have evolved to do so, like herring and cod. But unfortunately, they are heavily overfished. Garfish spawn here in early summer, but that would be about it. There are more freshwater species instead.
Hey Robert, do you fish on a certain tide or just head out when you can? Also what size rod do you use? I had some nice ones this past autumn🤙🏴
@FlyFishingbyRobert

Hello. The area I fish has no tide/very minimal (center of the Baltic sea) the rod is a 7wt. Full info in the video description.
Hey Robert, is this the Danish or Swedish coast ? You mentioned something but I could not make out if you said Jutland or Gotland.

I guess you could call them that for fun ☺️ But for me a true steelhead is naturally reproducing in freshwater and chooses to go to the sea. This is just put there 🤷♂️
