short pikevideo
It’s been awhile since I captured this pike on video… but only now did I have time to edit the clip and show it to you! I hope you all like it! It is so far the only pike I have on video, but it […]
‘diversified’ at most
Fishing is not always easy… and it wasn’t so in the last few weeks. Since brown trout (my favorite) is closed in winter, I targeted other species such as pike and hucho, in waters that I had not previously fished. Both species take some confidence […]
grayling heaven!
Never have I experienced such a day! Although I knew that there were nice graylings in that stream, it wasn’t always too easy to lure them into a bite. For years I struggled to catch one beyond that magic 50cm… and this day, the first […]
Donau ist immer gut!
An der Donau kann man nach der Forellensaison immer einen guten Tag erleben. Die Fischvielfalt ist grandios, und wenn man flexibel bleibt ist ein Schneidertag eigentlich ausgeschlossen.

Abends in Deutschland
“Schatz, lass uns rein gehen, die Mücken kommen!“… spätestens um 8 Uhr abends sitzt Deutschland vor der Tagesschau, dem Herdfeuer der Nation. Nur bei uns Fliegenfischern ist so manches anders und mit Tatort und Sportschau kann man die wenigsten von uns locken. Und zu Insekten […]
Targeting Graylings
Yes, it is possible to specifically fish for grayling in a trout river. Graylings love bright colors, especially red, orange or pink. The color of the bead in a nymph can make a significant difference from catching mostly trout to mostly grayling… when I went […]
