Hjemme igjen!Jan Reidar Abrahamsen og jeg klarte ikke lure noen av Emåns berømte sjøørreter. Etter den lange, kalde vinteren, var forholdene utfordrende. Fremdeles var det relativt mye is, hvilket begrenset kastemulighetene. Videre resulterte trolig den lave vanntemperaturen (0,5 - 1 grad) i at sjøørretene foretrakk elvas dype partier, og dessuten var lite bitevillige.
Vel, unnskyldningene er som vanlig mange :-) Men, selv om vi returnerte uten fisk, var det så absolutt en flott sesongåpning. Besøket på museet i Fliseryd, beskrevet i rapporten under, og på herregården til Göran Ulfsparre, var alene verdt turen.
Jeg har en følelse av at vi kommer tilbake...
After two days of exploring the famous River Em in Sweden, I'm back in Norway.
Because of a long, cold winter, the conditions were challenging. Nice weather, but still a lot of ice, and because of the low water temperature (0,5-1 degree Celcius), the sea trout obviously preferred the deep pools. So, neither Jan Reidar Abrahamsen or I had any luck. But we certainly enjoyed ourselves!
Besides fishing, we also spent a few hours visiting the fascinating sea trout museum, located in Fliseyd:
Later, the 83 year old Em veteran Göran Ulfsparre invited us to come and see the impressive Em House, where his family has lived for generations. It's beautifully situated on the river bank, and the estate controls the lower part of the Em, including Mill Pool, Home Pool, Barrett Pool and Sea Pool. Several world record sea trouts have been caught there!
So, even though we returned emty handed, the Em trip was a splendid way to open the 2010 fly fishing season. Have a look at the photos in the previous reports (in Norwegian only), too.
