I went in the afternoon to Nauvo to check up my old seatrout place. I saw no trouts, even if there was a huge school of small sandeels. I caught some perches and a chub.

Ahvenanmaa 19.10.
Pingo and Camilla

We fished 2,5 hours in western sea-area of Aland. Wind from west 5 -6 m/s, sunny weather, air temperature 7-8 centigrades  = Perfect weather to fish seatrouts.

I caught one smallie and lost one about 1,5 kilos trout. Not big ones, but in excellent conditions, silvery shiny and fat fishes.

In shallow shorelinewaters there are a lot of small fishes. It is not difficult to guess what seatrouts are eating now.

                            
In autumn it is allowed to fish from shores in Aland. That can be very succesful way of troutfishing. PhotoPingo

OlliT and Tapsa

We arrived to Pitkalarapids at 9.00 am. The first look on the river gave good feelings. Water level was ok and water clear. They had put rainbows into the river two weeks ago, so we could wait for contacts, too. Pitkala gave some nice fishes, Tapsa had with tungsten headed leeches 4 rainbows. I tarined my upstreams techniques and caught three rainbows and some graylings. All together we had more than ten happenings in Pitkala. Next we fished in Maijalarapids. There wwe had only few contacts with fishes.Tapsa caught some 20 cm graylings in downstreams, but upper parts were like dead. Finally we visited our basic hot spots in Saavariver. We saw some rainbows and tailing fishes, but they were too careful to take our flies. We caught some trouts and graylings, biggest trout 45 cm and grayling 35 cm.

Flyfishing the afternoon on sea-area. I checked up a couple of seatrout places, typically NF. One tailing trout I saw in narrow passage where water flows, but no contacts. I fished awhile pikes, too. Two careful hits and two smaliies landed. Heavy wind made casting nasty, the boat drifted too fast.
