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:

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!

Beautiful video Robert! And thanks for sharing your gear setup in every video👍

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!"

Tasty fish on the Christmas table is part of fishing. Nice video!

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 🎅

Jag var i Gotland tidigt på hösten i år och det var helt sagolikt. Fick havsöring och en lax. längtar efter Gotland.

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.. :)
