Krontjärn (crown lake)

Well it is a very pretty lake…But not sure about the fish.

Madelene and I decided to take a little fishing trip on thursday the 22nd of May. It was what i thought a great put and take water that is stocked with Trout, Char and Rainbow Trout. We arrive at the lake at 9:30am and everything looks to be great the sun is shining no wind and around 14-17 degrese celcius. I look for riseing fish without luck after 15 min i put on a hareears nymph size 14 while Madelene enjoys her coffe. After fishing for 1 hour and walking the north end of the lake we deside to look for deeper water. I find a spot with a rocky ledge it looks great on with the waders and start fishing. I fished for 20min and then i here what i thought was Madelene throwing a large rock into the lake “was that you my dear” no i think it was a fish she replies, so i think there has got to be someone else out here playing games, “Matt there is no one here” on with a dryfly. To make this long and non eventful story short no fish were caught and all expectations for this beutiful lake are gone. I spoke with a very wise man (Eirik) about the lake to see if he knew when the last time was that they released fish was and the reply was not what i expected, 20 years ago he says. Now i am not sure if paying 100 kronor for a fishing license was so smart.

If anyone knows about this lake feel free to leave a comment in English or Swedish.

What a day for fishing. The weather was perfect partly sunny mostly cloudy barley any wind SWEET.
I said to myself on Friday evening that i was only going to use the flies that i had tied myself so i started the day with a phesant tail nymph. After 3 casts i feel a slite tug so i try to set the hook *wiggle wiggle* *spit* Damn lost that one but i know that my fly is good enough. After about 35 min of fishing and talking to my buddy i deside that it is time to go to the other end of the lake “my spot”. 15 min and 2 casts later hes on and he makes a beeline rite for me so i have no idea what size fish it is until he turns and makes his run for deeper water. By this time i had managed to get him on the reel. Then he jumps about 4 times in a row and i know that it is a nice fish. The fight goes on for about 5min but feels like an hour. With net inhand i land the fish with a deep sigh and a big big smile i unhook and get my freind to take a pic and a mesurment befor the release. Then it hits me that this is the first fish that i caught on a fly that i tied myself. Good Times Good Times.
