I love to explore new waters
You never know what you might catch
How big they are
and how hard it's gonna be to find great spots
But if you work hard and in the end fins a good spot
The reward can be really big
I've got a friend named Niclas Edström
we've fished together for years and caught a lot of nice fish
I'ts been a while since we filmed together
But now it's finally time to do that again
The idea is that Niclas and I are gonna explore a river
that I've inly fished in once before
I didn't caught any huge fish but it felt like it had potential
for huge perch
It's heavy
a nice perch
It's bigger than 1 kg
I'm from Linköping and have driven 2 hours down in Sweden
To have a look at this river
I usually fish in another river
And have a lot of experience in how to fish rivers like this
I think we're gonna be able to crack the code in this river aswell
You need to gather a lot of informationen when you're exploring rivers like this
look at google maps and depts
and try to find some nice backwater
In the winter the perch are often stationary in deep holes
you need to fish the lure really slow
It's always fun to set up a goal when you try a new water
I think that a 1kg perch in here are possible
so the goal for today is that both Tobbe and I are gonna catch a 1kg perch
But first we'll read some of your comments
Sebastian want us to say hi to his son Lukas
He's been ill for 5 days
It sucks to be sick for so long and not be able to fish
So here's a big hello from us Lukas
We have a comment from Bergling saying that Niclas are gonna be in the videos
I haven't been in a video since fall 2020
But now in 2025 it's time to use all the gear
and show how to catch a real pig
you can hardly believe it's middle of winter
it's almost 6 degrees outside
no ice in the edges with no wind
it's suppose to be -15 degrees now
but we're grateful for good weather
So that we can fish
Tobbe and I have been fishing together for many years
It's been a few years since we filmed together
It'll be exciting and fun
I fished in this river once before
It was first most 2 spots that we caught fish on
It was this backwater and a spot further down stream
there is a current just by the ice
going to a dept of 2-3 meters
we caught most of our fish here back then
It's always a good idea to start at a spot you know hold fish
And when you then find out what works for the day
Then you can start searching at other spots
I like to fish with crawfish imitations when fishing in rivers
I'm gonna start with a carabus
I've frerigged this one
the weight up here runs free on the leader
that made the lure swim different and more flowing
It can be really hot this time of year
looking at the sonar it's only 0,6 degrees in the water
The perch might strike good but very careful
So we need to fish really slow
I'll try a monkey ned in the color junebug
I can bounce it slowly along the bottom
The goal is to catch a 1kg perch each
The big perch often want bigger lure so I'll try the bigger monkey ned
Let's hope we can clear our goal for today Niclas
let's catch them
- you have faith in this spot? - It feels hot
It looks promising
It would be nice to have the first contact fast
The you know that there are fish here
was that a contact?
I got one!
Just by the edge of the current
Not the biggest fish but it's a first
It's a recipe that we're doing something right
Look what a nice perch
really high perch
That's a good sign, if they're long and high thy are heavy
it's kinda red aswell
a very nice perch
Ned worm are usually efficent at this time of year
This one will have to swim back
and we keep on grinding
But at least we know now that they are here
well done Tobbe, we have a recipe that they are here
we'll keep on grinding and see if we can catch another one
