Welcome to The Balticflyfisher Journal

Fly fishing is a pursuit that rewards knowledge as much as patience. The more you understand — about the water, the fish, the gear, the cast — the more you get from every session. The Balticflyfisher Journal exists to help with exactly that: a growing library of practical, honest content written by anglers who fish the tackle they sell and care deeply about the sport.

We launched the Journal in early 2025 and have been publishing ever since. What started as a place to share our thoughts on new gear has grown into something broader — a resource we hope you'll return to whenever you're planning a trip, choosing a rod, or simply looking to improve your fishing.

What You'll Find Here

In-depth gear guides — Honest assessments of the rods, lines, reels, and flies we stock and fish ourselves. We don't review gear we haven't used on the water.

Casting and technique — From overhead and roll casts to single Spey, Perry Poke, and Skagit technique, we cover the mechanics that make a real difference on the river.

Fly selection and tying — Which patterns work, when, and why. Including some of the Scandinavian and Baltic coastal flies that don't always get the attention they deserve.

Fishing reports and stories — Real accounts from real trips. Sea trout on the Baltic coast, salmon on Spey beats, grayling on chalk streams. The kind of writing that makes you want to go fishing.

Conservation and sustainable angling — Catch and release best practice, habitat protection, and how we can all play a part in keeping these fisheries healthy for future generations.

Written by Anglers, for Anglers

Everything in this Journal comes from people who fish. We use the gear we write about, we visit the waters we describe, and we have the same conversations with ourselves that you have when you're choosing a new rod or trying to work out why the fish aren't taking. That experience shapes everything we publish.

If there's a topic you'd like us to cover, a question you can't find the answer to, or a fishing experience you'd like to share, get in touch. The Journal is as much yours as it is ours.

Tight lines.
