Some cool things going on this week, check out the latest LOOP life newsletter featuring new CAST series rods, interview with the man behind the rod design and development and Scottish Spring Salmon Blog I was pleased to write for this months issue. – http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=a7e4e716c7de3c37ea18bac70&id=e47ad12c62

Also managed to sit down and make a tying video for my new salmon fly design “BOKOVA” – https://vimeo.com/155970000

It’s a black & silver variant using deep purple wing and long bright red tail, 12cm for big silhouette night time fishing. The name comes from my wife’s family, from Russian word “Быкова” meaning Bull.

The colour scheme reminded me of the russian flag colours and bright red tail that could anger any bull… seeing as I made my wife shoot this video on valentines day also tongue emoticon … a nice evening and dinner in London more than made up for it.

Will be putting this fly into action this summer and a few are heading to others on the Gaula.

Baltic Salmon Species
19.8 kg Weight
128 cm Length
Kengis Bruk Location
The biggest fish so far this season (2015) was recently caught by Kristian Stridsman. Kristian hooked the salmon in the Boat Pool on the Kengis beat. After a short but very intense 15 minute fight, his fishing partner Erik Tjärner tailed the huge fish. Both anglers saw it during the fight and estimated the salmon at 30lb plus. Once landed it became perfectly clear it was much bigger. After measuring and weighing, it was obvious that Kristian had hooked a fish of a lifetime. It was 128cm in length and hammered the scales down to a whopping 19.8kg (43.7lb). The massive fish was caught on a 15’ Cross S1 loaded with a S1/S2 line and the fly was one of our favourite big tube flies, The Usual.
