The Perfect Fishing Day to End the Year - Fly Fishing for Sea Trout
It is December on Gotland and we are out fly fishing for Seatrout/sea run Brown Trout. Days are very short and with a limited timeframe. You never know if you leave the day with success or failure. This day, I was incredibly fortunate to have several opportunities in contact with fish. It is just up to me to make the most out of my opportunities.
My rod setup used in this video:
Rod: Vision Merisuola Graphene 9´#7
Reel: Vision Stillmaniac #7-8
Line: Vision Vibe 85+ #7 Float
Flies used in the video:
Predator dubbing baitfish:
• Perfect Streamer for C...
Mulkkis:
• Mulkkis - sea trout fly

Nice to see you making the most of the season and removing the glove before handling that first trout.
Thanks for a great video from BC, Canada. I grew up fishing trout in streams and lakes but still haven’t caught a sea trout despite living on Vancouver island for the last 15 years. You’ve inspired me to try!

Lovely video, thank you. Watching this reminds me of my last trip to Lake Taupo in NZ. We intended fishing the Tongariro but the weather was pants and the river brown. My mate pulled up at the lake side where waves were coming in from a stiff onshore wind. Pretty horrible casting conditions, the casts would more often than not just collapse in the wind. But... There were quite a lot of fish just a few meters out feeding in the waves, very shallow. Turned out to be a great place to "have a try!"

I probably should watch more episodes before comment here. See a Lot of hoping cast presentations with Lot of KM & hard work, but definitely a entertaining clip. Don’t know why if something it’s not producing in one spot, we keep trying the same in the next one. So much gaps that hopefully you could cover in the actual clip with such a great conditions. Love 2 fly rig and patterns on the actual clip. Personally I would keep betting for a 2 fly rig, a generic top water attractor pattern in those -lake like- conditions will definitely bring attention and slow the tip fly follow it 3 feet under. Thank you for the time and work. Great channel. Happy holidays 🎅
Fantastic fish , fishing and video. Thank you. Enjoy your Christmas sea trout Robert.

From my own experience, and watching countless videos on youtube of seatrout takes - your last take is quite in line with what I have noticed many times. If you "miss" a strip - or your focus is away from the rod for half a second, there's quite often a strike right then. It seems as if "breaking up a pattern" in your retrieve triggers something in the fish. It might make a "follower" into a "striker". Right before the big fish here takes the fly, you fumble a strip - breaking up the pattern. Only issue with this is that fishing becomes something where you need to focus on changing patterns all the time if you want to improve your chances... that can be a mental hard thing to do for a full day... Great video as always.. :)

Trevlig video återigen Robert! Lite korta frågor bara: vilken klass på spö kör du med? Intermediate eller flytlina nu på vintern? Fiskar du mest på norra eller södra Gotland? Jag själv håller till på nordöstra och har väldigt trevligt fiske där! Fortsatt skitfiske och God Jul! 🎄

nice video 💪 Have you tried stillmaniac rods in seatrout flyfishing?
I've heard some fishermen move to a totally different location because they saw a seal. I personally think the opposite, i mean the seal is there for a reason? There are probably fish there. I have also had great fishing even when there has been seals around, atleast here on the westcoast of sweden. What is your opinion on seals?

These are hatchery fish released as small, so not the same as farmed salmon. They don't bare the same genetic value as a wild sea trout. Therefore it is the perfect fish to keep.

@@peterbreingan3181 it's a contentious subject, given that there are quite a few local people employed in the salmon farming industry.. I think the more we see of farmed fish the more lies are uncovered, whether it claims to be "organic" or not. There's still mass die-offs from disease, toxic chemicals are still being used, the sea bed in the proximity of farms is a dead zone, and the effect it is having on local fish populations is undoubted(I fish sea trout in the sea, not always successfully!)
