lipan5-copy We have small group of fishing mates and we have a on-line fishing diary. Everybody can share his fishing experiences with other friends and we have something to remember during long winter evenings or during hard days in work :-) Before the new season will start, I´ll look to this diary and translate  some of my older articles.

I have been working on a project aimed on fish-passes in rivers in Czech republic during last two years. It was connected with field work and I had always my fishing bag in the car. It was no difference on a nice spring day in October 2010. I finished assessment of the last weir in Lužnice river at 2 p.m. and at 2:30 I was parking at the confluence of Černá and Malše rivers. After I was out from car, I saw olives flitting above the river and heard munching graylings. I made new world record in changing to fishing clothes and preparing of rod and I was hurrying upstream to my favourite pool. Water was low and crystal clear and fish were spooky, after I came to the bank through bush, they stopped rising. I sat down and observed the river, calmed down and enjoyed warm sun and beautiful nature. Fish continued rising immediately as carpet of olives was too attractive. I started with 4 m long tapered leader and 0,9 fluocarbon tippet, but after I left two of my three best flies in bush, I changed to 0,10 STROFT, which was also acceptable by fish without problem and which was more resistant.

I got over ten graylings (one bigger fish  twice :-) ) and two browns in one hour and next I moved downstream. After I lost last gray V- Olive size 18, I tried the olive one, but without success. So I looked to my box and found palmer size 18 with orang tag and it was also killing pattern this day. Fish were taking it also fished like wet fly in the end of drift. I got another 20 fish, so that day I caught over 30 fish including 4 graylings 35+, 4 browns, one small rainbow, few dace and the rest were smaller graylings. I met no soul, what a nice day, I love fishing !!!
