Fly fishing for BIG perch in shallow water l Åland Expedition l Day 3

It's another hard day in the office! Perkele, our last day of Åland Expedition is finally here and we needed some Finnish sisu for this one. The morning of the final day greeted us with +1 celcius and some snow flakes. And of course we had left the most difficult task for the last day. What goes around, comes around.. :D
So it was no turning back anymore on this freezing Thursday morning. All in was the only way to go with almost minus expectations. But I tell you this; save the most legendary and the experienced guys for the mission impossible.. Enjoy it, hopefully you liked our expedition. At least we had great fun doing it. :)

Lovely fishing Ryde, I enjoyed this video

[@danielbergman8980]

Poor Esko and well done Ryde with those conditions!! 👍🏻

[@jeremylewis9200]

You ever consider competing on perch pro. It would be great to see a fly team on there

[@inventivefisherman]

Отличный окунь...👍🤝

[@davidbanks2730]

Lots of work. You did well👍 I personally would go for a spinning rod and suspending jerkbaits 😅

[@MrLimnoman]

Hey guys - congrats ! cool video and really great perch. I really line the idea of using shoulder straps for the line basket - is the shoulder strap self made? Greetings from Germany!

[@Alan-io2ew]

Great video,but those 'flys' are more lures in my opinion.

[@foghole9449]

Do you guys always use a steel leader and snap?

[@Visionflyfishing]

visionflyfishing.com/product/wireline/ not always but if there’s a risk of pike like in shallow bays there are here. But if there’s no risk of pike then you don’t need it (or any other predator fish with sharp teeth).

[@Frank.Wagner]

Which fly line and which leader do you use in the video ?

[@Visionflyfishing]

There are multiple fly lines in use but for most of the time Ryde is fishing Vision's Hybrid line (10g) and uses intermediate 7ft tip with that one. We also used Vibe85 in sink3 but it was a bit too shallow and cold water combination to fish with that one because perch needed slow retrieve and kind of hoovering fly instead of very fast retrieve.

[@Visionflyfishing]

Leaders we used were Prisma fluorocarbon 0x and we had 15lbs Vision wireline in the end of the leader because there were lot of pike also
