Fishing with my father from the shore from 3.30 to six a.m. He
caught two nice perches, but I had a total zero! Only one pike broke
my line. The weather was ok, the conditions like air pressure were
fine, still a poor result. Perhaps the reason was, that a man living
near by tested his car, and the noises were terrible
We tried everything: motor oil, fl green, yellow and white colors.
Almost all the contacts with perches we had with motor oil. We saw
large schools of perches further away hunting small fishes on the
surface, but we could not fish those places, because of the holiday
houses.
Fishes were in the hitting mood, but our place was too near this
garage. Sometimes fishing is like that...
The air pressure was
1016 mBar, so
perches and zanders were near by the surface and in shallow
shoreline waters. So did those hunting schools of perches.
Ounasriver
and Ohtacreek, in August
Kari S + family
Lauri, now already 2 years and 7 months took his mother and daddy to
fish in Lapland in Ounasriver at the end of august. So this river
was impossible to fish, because the water level was high. You should
have climbed to top of pine, if you wanted to make nice backcasts.
Despite this conditions we examined placed for coming summers. Lauri
was eager to fish everywhere. Long autotrips seemed not to tire this
young fisher at all, when we had been at home two days, he said,
that he wants to Lapland fishing trouts. While driving home we
visited in Iiriver tributary Ohtacreek to have some possibility to
flyfish and catch some graylings. Once again the creek was ok.
When you served a dry fly correctly freely swimming, almost in every
cast your fly was sipped from the surface. I have to say, that Ohtacreek
is one of the most suitable places for family fishing. There Lauri
was striken by rod jealousy: He wanted to have own long rod, he told,
that his own 2,8 feet rod is too short. His parents had caught their
fishes with much longer rods. We had to explain to him daily, that
he has to grow up more to be able to fish with longer rods. Let us
see, when he has earned his longer rod. You can not blame him of not
practising. Daily on our yard lines are whistling, when Lauri
practises with his short equipments.
Ohtacreek is a nice flyfishing place. Tiina
fishing.
Even a hard fisherman need a while resting. Lauri
having his day naps in outdoor shelter.

Jigging from shore fron noon to five a.m. I caught only one legal
size zander and three pikes. Others had a bad day today, too. water
temperature was 13,5 centigrades.Funny, that in the Lake Matilda
water is cooler, perhaps the heavy winds in last days have mixed up
the waters.

SFM-toimitus and Timo
Our idea was to jig zanders till the darkness falls. We were on the
sea at two a.m., and lifted the boat on trailer at eight. Fishes were
in very careful mood. Between six and seven o'clock there was a small
top of hits of perches. Even then we had to serve fire pumpkin colored
grub with smelt piece as extra attractor. We made a bit under hundred
perches to visit the boat, but only twelwe were in size to take with
(=+250g). Timo caught two legal size zanders and one minor, SFM-toimitus got
only one small. So our project was really no success. Of six pikes
only one managed to break the line, lucky the was in its jaws only.

HannuR, Sauli, Bende, Casse and Jesse
fishing with children in Lohenrengas. The unsteady weather was
perhaps the reason why we go to fish almost alone. After some lures
left on trees and in the bottom I chanded to the rods floats and
worm baits, in which rainbows fell in love. Some fishes we caught
with lures, too. rainbows were mostly in 500-1000 g sizes. With
Benjamin we made a real double. We fished from a casting landing: I
caught with small Rattlin Rapilla a trout 1,5 kg and Benjamin
fought at the same time with a kilos rainbow with his Shakespear's
Kid Set.
Each of the boys caught at least two fishes, so our trip was a
fishing success. This place fits nicely for fishing with children.
There is not too long hikings and the area is built ok. The outdoor
shelter of Kivijärvi is good fishing base. We thank our host
and hostess, who immediately took care of us, when they saw our
fishing younsters.

The Lake Matilda
25.9.
JoniS
I fished from two to five a.m. I rowed and trolled nearby the
surface with two rods. The water is now only 12 centigrades.
The lake gave no fishes this time. Perhaps one reason was my low
motivation. My GPS showed, that the rowing speed was only about
two knots, so heavy were the winds. Heavy rainshowers wre perhaps
one reason, why fishes were not active on the surface. The
echoload showed, that fishes were in the middle waters. Some
baitfishers were on the shores, too, but even their results were
poor. A high air pressure would be nice now!

SFM-toimitus, Markku and Pingo
Fishing by the bridge of Marsund from nine to eleven a.m. We tried to
catch zanders, but the weather was too sunny. We caught some tens of
small under 300 g perches, but that was all. Over ten other boats were
fishing in this area. Pingo made about ten fishes to visit his hand in
half an hour wearing his city clothes and fishing from the shore rock!

The weather was again OK, even too calm for pikefishing. Still we
caught 18 fishes with flies and lures. The biggest was a bit under 3
kg. A real triple was made, too = three fishers had a pike on at
the same time. Perchfishing was yet better, all 5 of us had a fish on
simultaneusly! We took up about 50 perches, biggest ones 600 g. Our
supper was yellow fish soup.

Fishing from 9 am to 5 pm. We made about 500 perches and 11 pikes to
visit our boat. Brown and pearly white grubs and greenish shads were
hot. We got over ten perches over half a kilo, Mikko 820 g and SFM-toimitus 750
g. Mikko`s 3 kg pike gave a good fight and run like a train.
Perchfiles made in oven with cream and cheese was a delicate supper!
We took some
tens of perches for our supper.

Teaching flyfishing in Halinen rapids in Turku day festivals. A young
girl became evidently a flyfisher. Her elder brother asked for
tutoring, but the rod stayed in her hands. She casted immediately like
an old experienced flyfisher. I fished a little bit, too, and caught
and released a 40 cm seatrout. Ville from Fishing Institute caught a
same size of fish, too. His fish was more silvery as mine.

JakeK and Peuris
Fishing from ninea.m. to three p.m.
During this time 35 pikes visited our boat. Four of them were over
three kilos, the biggest 5,5 kg. Naturally even bigger fishes
hit on our lures :-). Pikes took lures a bit carefully, all the fishes,
which visited our boat were poorly hooked, and we had a lot of hits
and pushes and following pikes. Most of the fishes we caught under the
wind in front of rushes.. Hot lures were 15cm Nils Master wobblers, 18 cm
Bombers, Kaappari wobblers and 14 cm magnum. Best colors were
pink, king, seacolor, f-negative and red head. Specially pink and
seacolor were hot. Perches were missing once again. We should perhaps
first to catch bleaks as baits like Tapsan reported in saturday.
So, do not buy digital weight of DePaulin!
What will you do with a fishweight, which does not tolerate water???
The
Gate of Pargas 18.9.
SFM-toimitus, Timo and Jussi
Our meaning was to fish zanders with grubs and baitfish them with
bleaks, too. We caught bleaks quite easily from the flap bridge of
Pargas., so we were on the waters a bit before noon. The southern area
of the Gate was difficult. We caught some peches here and there, but
found no eager schools of them. The forecast of Vip Weather Service of
Foreca was totally wrong: All afternoon wind was blowing heavily and
rainshowers were like in tropics. Wind and high waves made jigging and
baitfishing difficult. Timo, anyway, made a two kilos pike to visit
our boat. The fight was so hard, that Monnin kevlar-leader was so
broken, that there was no use to try it to next pike.
n early evening hours the weather got better and we moved to northern
waters of the Gate. We found active fishes on a underwater, 10 m
terrace. We caught perches with baitfishes and brown grub jigs with a
piece of fish on them. Without baits happened nothing. we caught
perches in size +250 g about ten kilos, the biggest were over one
pounders. Finally we caught our project fishes, zanders, too. In late
evening hours we caught four fishes 40-43 cm. Pikes got active, too.
We released several fishes in size 1-2 kg. Timo had a train on, we
could not see the fish, but evidently it was a several kilos pike. SFM-toimitus
had a id about one and half kilo, Timo and SFM-toimitus caught both breams
about 800 g, Timo's fish had even swallowed the grub properly. In all
a nice fishing day, even if me an old specimen fisher had in these
conditions to humble as a normal mixed species fisherman.

For a long time I visited Karkkila Rapids. I fished the Rapaid of
Pitkala from the parking place to the upper parts of rapids. Fishes
were missing compared with earlier trips this year. I caught about ten
small graylings, one 35 cm fish and two trouts 20 and 25 cm. One
rainbow (1,5 kg) and the biggest grayling I caught with Bead Head Pupa
fly. At the end of theday I made a couple of casts with dry flies, and
the result was two 25 cm graylings. The Fishing Polices were on the
move. They asked my licences twice!
Lohenrengas
16.9.
SFM-toimitus and
Markku
We wanted to take examples from what fishes eat in pompiainen and
Kivijarvi. heavy rain and wind shut the mouths of fishes for about two
hours. When it was calmer fishes were active even on surface. Markku
fished with Jensen Insect spinner and Rasnen 5 cm spoon in color
white-black-red and made 8 fishes to visit his net. It was a surprise,
that normally hot Bete Lotto-spinner gave only careful hits. SFM-toimitus
tested the colors of Mini Leeches (# 12): White gave some hits,
peacock and yellow got to swim in peace, but with black I had to loose
six rainbows from my net with about 30 casts.
We open one trout and one rainbow, which Markku had caught. The
rainbow was about one and half kilo = from the year 2002 and the trout
about one kilo. The stomach of the trout was totally empty, the
rainbow had some vegetation particles, so it had feeded some time ago
with caddis larvas, but otherwise it had been on diet. We were
surprised of the results, but the research goes on!

Fishing with SFM-toimitus and SOME others from the Teijo Village
Assosiation, too. I counted the cars in the parking place: modest 27
pcs! That is nice, that people have found this excellent fishing place.
Flyfishing was like before, small Leeches and small diving beetle
imitations were effective. I caught 18 fishes. They were mostly
rainbows, but I succeeded to catch a handsome over 1,5 kg trout, too.

We fished the morning till noon in the private lake of Brothers
Keskinen. They had stocked fishes into the pond last time about a year
ago. We saw tailing rainbows every now and then, and Jari and Juha
caught a fish each. Also we took small pikes away from the water some
pcs. I fished only with flies and had four hits on Leech and three
times a fish tried on a dry fly. In one year rainbows had learned to
feed quite carefully.
Virrat,
Herraskoski 10.9.
SFM-toimitus & co
We were many guys to fish this dry rapid area in the afternoon. Jari
and Harri made minor trouts to visit their nets and released them.
Otherwise the catch was perches, ids, bleaks and pikes.. Specially
many pikes were in the upper parts of rapids, but we had to leave to
have supper before the hottest hitting time in sunset.

Peuris
Finally
perches showed
some kind of
co-operation
feelings in Pargas.
After this evening
trip we had in our
bucket ten perches
to make files, the
biggest 580g.
Still the fishes
were not in real
schools, but were
on the familiar
places. Greenish
grubs were best
colors. Pike were
really hitting in
sunset time.
Peuris was leading
already 6-0,
when I believed
that today is not
the wobbler day.
With Pearl Jak
spoon I began to
catch pikes, too,
but did not catch
his lead. All
together we had 15
pikes, the biggest
only
2.8 kg. Wobblers
and spinnerbaits
gave this time
almost total
nothing.
Pargas,
Granvik and the Gate 9.9.
SFM-toimitus, Timo, Timo, Antero and Folke
We found the baitfishes, bleaks, in the morning in Granvik and Bjorkholm.
Perches were in poor hitting mood till noon, then we found
co-operative fishes. There was no top hit, but we caught perches with
bleak-baits evenly all day long. In early evening fire pumpkin colored
grub began to take both perches and slowly presented jig gave 8 legal
size zanders. Some longnoses visited our boatside , were they were
offhooked. Biggest perches were about half a kilo.
Pretty perches and nice
zanders bleeded in cold box on ices.

SFM-toimitus, Olli, Timo, Pete, Tawny and Maya
SFM-toimitus and Timo flyfished almost ten hours, Olli worked 8 hours like
Petejnda Tawnykin. The weather of the day was interesting: Heavy
rainshower and quite cold and sunshine and warm. heavy wind spoiled a
bit our flyfishing. The evening was a nice autumn sunset.
This long session, all day long, gave interesting information about,
how fishes react in different flies. When raining they took dark,
black, brown and olive, Leeches. In sunshine the flies should be
smaller like nymphs, pupas and classic wet flies like Zulu. Pete
landed and released many good fishes with bead head Zulu. In the
evening worked large, number 6-8, light colored , almost fluorescent
white marabou- and flashaboustreamers.
Timo had to tire up this over three pounder
rainbow over fifteen minutes. Finally the fish was so tired, that it
ended to dinner table of family Kilpelainen.
The active fishes were often just between the rushes. Timo had many
pretty fishes just dapping the fly with rod length line beside the
vegetation.
All members of our group caught fishes exept Maya. She every now and
then eagerly waved her hands in her carriage like in flyfishing, but
we have not succeeded to build a flyrod small enough to a six week old
baby girl. Anyway she will soon need her own flyfishing equipments!
The biggest, over two kilos rainbow was caught by Papa Pete, Two
trouts in the same class visited our nets, too.

I spent quite a lot of hours fishing on the sea from friday to sunday.
In Lehmankurkku area there were a kind of traffic rush. I counted 13
other boats there, so I did not have to fish alone. Fishes seemed to
be in the mood, so often I saw rods to bend, specially those short
icefishing jigging rods. Some really hot hits were not on, perhaps the
warm sea water was the reason. I got so many perches, that I had to
start making files when got back to ur holiday house. I
flyfishes as some extra even 6 pikes. For along time, that was really
fun. The best fly was a perch colored slinky streamer.
