During my holiday I spent one morning at Vltava 33 above Lipno reservoir with Honza Vender, who has cottage close to river and belongs to the local specialists. Water was higher after rains and red as it flows from peat-bogs, simply conditions which are always difficult on this river. However, I remember one competition when one older fishermen  from Lenora won in similar conditions with one secret fly, unfortunately he probably took the fly to the grave. We caught some fish including nice graylings, but it was true persuasion. At about lunchtime I saw few hatching olives and also rising graylings. I caught first few smaller graylings on nymph and after I saw first rising big fish, I changed to dry fly. I got first good rising fish by the really first cast on the olive emerger and I was thinking, that I found recipe for that day. But next three same fish showed me, that I´m only a pupil. Although I tried four different flies and used fluorocarbon tippet 0,10 mm, they did not come even to see the fly I had no time to try something different as we had to go home, so I have challenge for next time. It was really great morning in the pure nature.
