So part II of Fly-fishing in Germany, like I said in my latter BlogSpot,
it s really hard to go fly-fishing on the best spots in Germany, but I had the
chance to fish on a amazing river " The Isar ", the water has a
beautiful sapphire color, from the high amount of chalk, this creating a basic
buffer which creates a healthy environment for the development of the river
system. The location where I fished was Bad Tölz, the license I bought from the
Breed-bakery which is located in the center of the city (25 euro’s), pay a lot
of attention were you park, I was very lucky 30 sec later and I would had to
pay 25 euro’s fee for parking, I stayed in the Bakery about 2 min, the license
you can buy only at 9 a clock, when they open the shop. Other problem, be very,
very careful at were the river fishing limits are, this thing can ruin an
entire fishing day; normally they are drawn on the fishing license, not in this
case. So I parked were I was told , and
fished the section where I understood, I begun fishing with 1 nymph
french style , after 2 casts I had my first take , a healthy grayling about 30
cm, another cast , another fish, but smaller. After changing the spot, and
using a heavier 3, 5 tungsten head nymph, I had a nice take, I hooked and the
party was on, a beauty, 48 cm grayling after releasing, I choose to change the
fishing spot
So after
changing the spot, I have to confess I had one of the most amazing fly-fishing
day s of my life, almost with every cast I had a take, at some point the fish
begun to rise. I fished only dry flies, f flies were the most efficient, duns
and red body f flies, size from 14 to 18, the size of the fishes was
between 35 to 50 cm, all fishes were gently released, I had to clean
many of the fishes from many blood leeches which hanged on many of them, in
brief it was an amazing day of fly fishing. The only problem was at the end of
the day, when I had to experience one of the most ugliest moments of my
life, a fish supervisor asked me at a high voice to come out of the water to
see my license, I was on the other part of the river, after I said to him that
'I have to go more downriver because the water is to deep, nothing, he was just
screaming like a mad man, I got pissed and crossed the river taking large
amounts of water, when 'I arrived near him he asked me of the fishing license,
I showed it to him and he begun to scream louder, that I fish on the wrong part
of the river, that I had to fish about 100 m down of the river, I apologized in
thousand way s possible, told him that I did not knew and that I am willing to
pay a day license for this part of the river, he would just not want to
hear about it, he made a scene that every person looked at me like I was an
outlaw, a very embarrassing moment, I was so disgusted of this, I cannot
explain in words. So pay attention were the limits are, don t fish if you are
not sure that you are on the right spot. Better ask ten times before fish!!!But
the river is just amazing and the fishes are a beauty!!! Hope you enjoy the photos.
