This trip takes me back to where it all started—Gotland. When my YouTube channel first began, coastal sea trout fishing was everything, and now, I’m returning to the island I once called home for over a decade. With its crystal-clear waters, shallow flats, and wild trout population, it’s a place that still feels special.

But with the Baltic Sea facing pollution, overfishing, and a challenging climate for trout spawning, one big question remains—how is the fishing holding up? People often ask if it’s still as good as it used to be, and I’m just as curious to find out.

It’s early spring when I arrive, and there wasn’t much time to chit-chat with my buddy Daniel before we hit the water in the last light. We’ve made many videos together in the past, and standing side by side again felt like a reunion. And as for the fishing—let’s just say the start of these days couldn’t have been better.
