Pushing the limits Rodbuilders Republic rod testing at Røst Fishing Camp, the mission of the week. We had the pleasure of welcoming Goulven Dolle. Founder of Rodhouse, and his crew of passionate anglers to Røst Fishing Camp. As you may know, Goulven’s well-known in the rod-building world for helping European anglers fish with perfectly tuned, custom gear.
There’s no better place than the fish-filled, rugged waters around Røst.
From the very first drift, these rods got the workout they deserved. Goulven’s group drifted around steep drops, tracked bait, and rapidly hooked plenty of powerful fish. In fact, the results of this rod testing at Røst were incredible. Cod in big numbers, quality pollack, and strong coalfish came on board to visit us. The kind of week that makes you check your drag twice!
Above all, what stood out was the vibe on board. These guys know how to test gear seriously while keeping the atmosphere fun. Full of shared tips, good laughs, and big smiles. Moreover, the rods handled it all: light, tough, responsive, and perfect for travel. Exactly what you want when your fishing dreams take you far from home. It’s always interesting on a camp to see how customers bring their knowledges. It was interesting to exchange our view on ”matching the atch” as we say. The numbers of fish tend to make us think that colors are not important here. Well, look like colors matters, maybe a good topic for another article for the blog?
In the end, it’s anglers like this crew who remind us what makes Røst Fishing Camp special: the right people, the right gear, and wild waters that keep you coming back for more. Perhaps you remember some of them for a last year report?
Tight lines, Goulven & team — we can’t wait to see what you bring next time!
