Just a perfect day, trout and grayling with SG8 3000H

It really was a perfect day with trout and grayling fishing. Especially for grayling, because it was the first time I fished this species on the lake, not on the river as I used to. To save you a first question, yes, it happened in Sweden, right after the traditional competition Lapland Pike which we go to every year, me, Andrei Sava, Robert Boanţ, Cristi Albu and the cameraman F&H on duty, Mae.

From pike to trout and grayling fishing is just a step away in Sweden

After four days of pike fishing in unfavorable weather conditions and a very difficult competition, I felt the need to disconnect with trout and grayling fishing, as I always do in all expeditions in Sweden. We only had half a day to go, and in the evening we would move to a new fishing location for pike and perch. Where do we quickly find a location where we can safely catch some grayling and trout? Well, we don't call him Lars Norberg?

Lars Norberg, trout and grayling chief in Asele, Sweden

When you say trout and grayling in northern Sweden, you mean Lars Norberg. Fly fisherman, photographer, tourist and fishing advisor, both at the local fishing shop, but also at the tourist center of Asele. An extraordinary character, who, after this expedition, we can gladly and surely call a friend. We called him, said goodbye, and met at the local store around noon.

Where do we go trout and grayling fishing?

If so far in Sweden we only fished on public waters, this time Lars took us to his private lakes. Three in number, small, chic, next to each other, wild and full of grayling and trout. Basca were also a stone's throw from Asele, accessible for fishing on the shore without the need for waders, untouched by any fisherman. What more could you want?

For the first time, fishing for grayling on the lake

There is no point in telling you in writing about the beauty of the places and the fish caught, you have already seen the video and I assume that you also took a look at the video posted by Andrei Sava on YouTube from this memorable match. What was different about bad fishing? The Lipans were much more aggressive in their attack, much more combative, and watched the ghosts among the water lilies coming with the wave in their heads. Just like a pike.

About ghosts, about threads, rods, about one, about another

Personally in Sweden use every time in trout and grayling fishing parties, regardless of the water, two lures, rotating focused and oscillating Typhoon from Berti. In terms of yarns, exclusively monofilament, exclusively Stroft, fluorescent and colorless, from 0.16mm to 0.20mm, depending on the situation. The rod is a special project that I can't part with since I first fished it in June, a Phenix Red Eye travel rod that I wrote more about here.

Good, good and trout and gravel fishing reel? A new premiere, Savage Gear SG8 3000H

You caught me, this is where I wanted to get to the new Savage Gear reels. Advertising moment. But I know a lot of you are waiting for them and a relevant review doesn't hurt anyone. We leave aside the technical details, you can read them here, I will tell you briefly what I liked about the SG8 3000H model that I had in the test.

For a reel of category 3000 SG8 it is very light and small, so I can use it in all fishing parties, both for trout and grayling, but also for pike or pikeperch. Savage Gear SG8 3000H winds the thread perfectly on the drum, which can be found in the length of the launches. Big Like.

Otherwise, no boots, no trunks, it is very tied, without games and gives you the feeling of strength in the gears when you turn it in pregnancy. It doesn't have that fine turnover like in Daiwa, I recognize and assume the subjectivism of this statement. I'm a Daiwa fan, all my reels are and will be Daiwa.

Speed, give me what I need

I might bother the purists when it comes to reel recovery ratio, either spinning or casting. For me one, the higher the recovery ratio, the more it attracts me. I want to quickly retrieve the lure from the water and throw it as fast as I can where I was attacked or abducted on the surface. Or not to waste too much time with the fish in the drill, there are others to catch. So, for me, high speed, that's why I chose the Savage Gear SG8 3000H model. H of high speed, 6.2: 1. The purists would also say that high speed reels are not as reliable and you can't recover a ghost slowly. Well, nothing is indestructible, we live in a consumer society… and if I need to recover a ghost slowly, calmly, calmly, I can slow down.
