I'am very happy to see you gain at UA-cam. Very beautifull fish ! I'am a french sea trout fly fisherman, in Normandy. My biggest sea trout : 83 centimeters, fly fishing with waddington, at night ( it is autorized ) .
Great video and amazing fish!! 😱 I would have one question, where do you think it might be a good spot for mid May salmon fishing, I've heard that usually they go to the up part of the river from June
Hi, In mid-May, everyone wants to fish in pool 1. Other desirable pools on the southern stretch are 2, 4, 12 and 16. On the northern stretch, pool 17 can be an interesting option. Personally, however, I avoid these pools because there are so many people that you often have to queue. For pool 1, the waiting time can be several hours. /John
@@DrJohnTheAnglerJohnHedberg thank you so much! I was reading that might be crowded over those pools, however I'm going during the week and I'll stay several days, so I might give it a try. And what about you upper part? Any chance to catch a salmon in there? Or is too early in the season for Harnas?
Thanks for the video, very nice. I'm fishing the Mörrumsån next month and it will be first time fishing there. Hoping to catch sea trout or salmon in autumn, or otherwise just enjoy the river. For the lines, would you just use a floating spey line and directly attach the 0.40 tippet (it's without any taper, right?). Or is the line set-up more complicated than that? Also, I was thinking of bringing a net to land potential fish. Is that a good idea?
Hi, No, I nearly always use a polyleader (fast sink) even when i fish with a floating line. The best allround setup for the autumn fishing in Mörrum is, I think, a float/intermediate line (multi tippet system), a fast sink polyleader and monofilament tippet (1,5-2 m). A float/sink2 line will also do well if you don't like to fish with a polyleader. /John
@@DrJohnTheAnglerJohnHedberg Tack så mycket! That sound simple enough. Do you have an estimate how deep below the surface your fly usually is when the salmon take it? The presentations seems to look a little like jigging (with a spinning rod), something I'd do in my local river for Zander. Another question, do you try to hide (visually) from the fish?
What a fantastic fish and well done on landing it in that fast current. My son ( from the UK ) now lives in Sweden and next time I visit I’d love to take him fishing on The Mörrum . Do you have any contact details for the beats so that I could arrange some fishing on the river ? Best Wishes and tight lines Danny 🎣
Hi, You can look here: www.sveaskog.se/morrum/. September is the best month to fish the river. Or May if you want to try to catch a fresh run salmon. It's very hard to even get a bite then though. /John
Hello John, What is the best period to catch sea trout at the Mörrum? Any other tips for catching sea trout over there? Nive vids. Greetings and tight lines from The Netherlands.
You cant teach people to catch a 10 kilo seatrout, the person need to fish where 10 kilo sea trout exist and need a bit of luck to make one take the fly. That's it.
Come on now! Of course you can! It is also one of the pieces of advice: Fish in a water that is proven to hold large sea trout. You also have to have the right stuff so that you can take the chance if it comes. Flourcarbon and barbless hooks should not be used.
LOL, you do know Uk and canada and Alaska are barbless only for salmon and trout right and we use flurocarbon for 200 kg plus halibut here in Norway. Now personally i have only landed 2800ish salmon here in norway with a top of 132 cm but i DO use flurocarbon and dont have any problems with it what so ever but as the noob i am i dont bother to argue with a pro like yourself so i will let you read this and that's it. i will just watch your videoes and become a pro like you are even if it will take me many many years to get to your lvl of skill and knowledge. @@DrJohnTheAnglerJohnHedberg
Well, once again, we have different experiences. If it works for you to fish salmon with flourocarbon, go for it. I stick to monofilament as far as the salmon/sea trout are concerned. Then again, I use oversized fluorocarbon tippets when fishing for pike and zander so I'm not completely rabid about that material.

Hi,
I usually fish in slightly faster pools, so roughly 20-40 cm down i guess. No, I'm not hiding, but I'm trying to wade calmly and carefully. /John
Thanks alot for the answers! @@DrJohnTheAnglerJohnHedberg
I've caught my first ever salmon just today in the Mörrumsån! Your videos and tips definitely helped a lot and I even used the Golden Eye fly.

Hi, The best chance is in September, but August can also be good if the water temperature is below 20 degrees. /John
Congratulations. Why exactely do you think flurocarbon sucks?
Hi, Fluorocarbon is much less stretchy than monofilament and it shrinks the margins. One mistake and the tippet breaks. /John
@@DrJohnTheAnglerJohnHedberg Thanks! Great videos as always.Much appreciated!
