Learn the Land

There's nothing quite like finding the real deal when you're trying to imitate it with your flies. Caught this little guy off Gotland, Sweden in November, and it reminded me that sea trout on the coast mainly feed on these crustaceans, much like they go for nymphs in freshwater. And, of course, that’s also when I realized I managed to hook a rock and bend my hook. Guess that's just part of the game!
