Hello, my name is Peter and I'm from Fly-Dressing.
You're watching Fly TV, and today, we're doing this...
Hello, my name is Peter and I'm from Fly-Dressing.
Today, I'm going to Hökensås, the river Tiveden to fly fish.
And today, I brought my good friend Marcus Hermansson from Hökensås.
Marcus, what are your expectations for the fishing today?
I'll think we start up with some nymph fishing, a pretty easy start.
I hope to catch something. In the afternoon, if the weather
-is going to be better, some sun maybe, we can try some dry flies.
What can people expect when they come here to fish?
It's a pretty easy way to fish.
Everyone from rookies to pros can have some fun fishing here.
And you can fish with nymphs, streamers, dry flies, whatever you like.
Nynf fishing is a pretty easy way to start the fishing career.
That's because you don't have to cast so far.
You have a short bit of line out, and you just let the stream work it.
You put it upstreams and just let it flow.
It's just short casting?
Yeah, the nymph fishing is short casting.
The river isn't so big either, so even if you're dry fly fishing you don't-
-have to cast more than 10 metres, then you're safe.
It sounds pretty easy. - It is.
Let's go and catch some fish! -Yeah, I hope so.
It's on!
Oh, you got one?
I think it's a small one, but it's still a fish.
It took the bright nymph.
We'll take it.
The technique we are using today is called Czech nymphing.
It originally comes from Poland, but it was taken by the Czechs-
-to the World Championships, where the name was set.
We put the line upstream and I look at my bright orange leader,-
-tippet fly line there.
If it tweaks a little bit, I do like this and then I make a pull.
Then the nymph goes to the bottom. As many times as you wish.
But it can also be fish, so you have to do a small pull every-
-time you see the leader move.
It's an easy cast upstreams, just let it free drift.
Nice!
Great! - There it was.
It's a pretty small one, but still...
Perfect!
It's strong!
It looks like a pretty nice one.
It was pretty okay.
Pretty nice!
That's great!
That's a nice fish. About one kilo.
Perfect!
Again... - Fish on!
Come on, little fellow.
Perfect.
Rock on!
Now, we'll take a bigger one.
It's gone!
***! It went ballistic.
Don't go down there.
Hurry up, Peter!
Lost him!
*** it!
***! It went into the seaweed.
Yeah, it was a nice one.
It's good exercise.
I'm going to have my revenge.
Now, we just had lunch.
We let the water rest for a while, we thought I could tell you a bit-
-about the tackle we're using.
I use a 0.15 mm line, all the way.
I have this strike indicator, that shows me when the strikes come.
They come in different colours.
At the bottom, I have this heavy nymph.
It's going to roll around the bottom.
A bit up the leader, I use a smaller, more lightweight nymph.
That's my tackle. What do you use, Marcus?
Pretty much the same, but I use fluorocarbon as a tippet, 0.17-
-and in the last tippet, the last metre, I use 0.14.
I use two flies as well, one heavy and a smaller one.
But instead of a strike indicator, I use a flyline that's specially made for this.
It floats high in the water, so I see the strikes with that one.
One more important thing is, I think, the net.
I use this rubber net. It's perfect, the fish can't see it.
The hook doesn't stick to it.
It's pretty awesome this one.
That's a good thing.
What do you say? We're gonna get some more fish?
Sounds good.
I'm going to catch fish first.
Good luck. - Good luck, mate.
Nice weather and we're catching some fish!
It was only luck. - Yes, of course.
I'm going to help you net it.
Nice job! - Thanks.
A lovely one.
Go on.
Take a swim.
Off it goes.
You lucky man.
Only luck...
The waterfall is a great place to be, even if you don't catch anything.
I have to leave you, I have some new customers to take care of.
But I leave you with Peter for the rest of the night. Tight lines! Bye!
Marcus left us for today. Now I move forward down the stream.
To a slower area of the river. We're going to try some dry fly-
-fishing later on. But first some nymph fishing.
There was some fish rising.
The question now is: Do we fish nymph or dry fly?
It's a quite tricky decision so far.
We haven't seen that much fish yet...
It took the bottom fly, that was nice.
Yes! A really nice rainbow trout.
I think we'll just release this one straight away.
The hook's still fine. That's quite good.
I think I can do this all day.
It's really fun this nymphing.
Most of the time, you catch a lot of fish.
And you lose a lot of fish. You can see the strikes-
-but you're too slow to hook them.
It's really fun and exciting.
Let's make some more casts and see what happens.
It's a strong one. That's nice.
Nice fight.
It took the heaviest nymph this time too.
Mainly, that's the one they take.
See if we can get in the net here.
Before this one goes away.
No, this one took the other nymph.
It took the one in the top.
I think it's about one and a half kilo.
Now, we change to dry fly.
We need to prepare it so it floats.
Then I have this magic spray.
It's called Dry Shake Spray.
It's about the same thing as when you shake your fly in powder.
But it's in spray form instead.
It's very easy to use and the fly floats like crazy.
Just spotted a fish upstream. We're going to try and make a cast at it.
Somewhere over there.
Maybe a little bit further up.
The problem with the dry fly fishing in these small areas is that you only-
-have like a second or two, because then the fly drags, you get tangled-
-because you fish these really small areas.
It needs to float naturally.
If the leader straightens, so the fly moves, the fish doesn't care.
They just ignore it and you can spoil your chances of catching it.
We're going to try this area out here. Hopefully we can catch something-
-in the one or two seconds we have here.
Some fish up here.
Yeehaw! Dry fly.
That was a nice ???.
First one this year.
He wants to go away.
The problem is that the leader is 15 foot and the rod is 9, so...
It's quite difficult to get it in without breaking it.
It's a brown trout.
Really nice.
Come to papa!
Let's release this beauty.
