Autumnal experience from Vltava 24

decent rainbow on pink streamer I visited our trophy fishery only few times during autumn but I have to say that it was very instructive. The rainbows which we stocked in the end of September were simply strange. They started to take gradually and some days they took nymphs, but  they generally preferred streamers. Dry fly-fishing with autumnal olives which had been eagerly awaited was very poor as the fish simply did not rise. I made few similar experiences, that I fished same stretch repeatedly with different flies and I always caught another fish. Once I started with nymphs and finished with streamer, another day I tried team of orange blob and black streamer in one big pool and get three nice fish, and next I immediately returned back to the mouth of the pool and after 20 minutes I get in the same place another two fish on pink and white streamer. Fishing with streamer in relatively low flow needs some specialities, the best line is sink-tip. I have storage of floating lines from my participation in Lexus Competitions in UK, so I made sink tip line connecting floating line and 8 metres long piece of older DI5 line, I used the end of belly and part of running line which were not damaged.  Big surprise was numerous catch of nice barbel, some people focused on this hard fighting fish. And similarly like during previous seasons, after relatively poor late October and beginning of November,  the last two weeks in November were excellent and it was possible to catch really big older rainbows, in fact it was possible only to hook them as the chance to land this strength fish is low. I finished the season on Thursday 29th November with 5 fish in one and half hour, the last one received an invitation to dinner at my home and we can look forward to 16th April.
