The weather was unusually warm and dry in the past few weeks, which resulted in exceptionally clear water… not as gin-clear as in a mountain stream, but much clearer than is common here. Rarely any pool was too deep to see the bottom, the visible […]
And finally fall is here… somewhat like a colorful flash of nature, just before the white veil of winter covers it all. Here in the Swabian Jura in southern Germany, fall is especially colorful with all the mixed beech forests. It hardly falls short of […]
The month of October is the best time for grayling in our stream. The gin clear water in fall makes it possible to spot them – very often it is the light-colored edge of the huge backfin that betrays the presence of a big grayling […]
Als bekennendes Land-Ei habe ich das Angeln als Kind natürlich mit dem Regenwurm im Dorfbach begonnen. Und schon damals haben mich die wunderschönen und oft erstaunlich großen Fische in diesen kleinen Bächen fasziniert. Diese Faszination hat bis heute nicht abgenommen…. Am letzten Wochenende ergab es […]

The ressurection of nature after the winter has been the true highlight on my fishing excursions… it is a great wonder to me, year and again: almost every day, the landscape changes. It is becoming greener, the birds louder, the evenings longer.
Lange fühlte sich der Oktober eher nach Spätsommer an – und das Äschenfischen ein wenig sonderbar… normalerweise stehe ich dick eingepackt wie ein Teddybär am Wasser, es ist nass, kalt, neblig. Diesen Oktober war eher Tshirt angesagt, meine normalen Äschenmuster funktionierten nicht wie gewohnt….ich wünschte […]
Fall is here, with warm days, golden trees and beautiful graylings. Such a sunday afternoon is hard to beat!
