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 […]
This summer is a little different than others. Many things didn’t go as planned: I had so much to do at work that I often felt too tired to go fishing in the evening (and this means something!). Then, while playing soccer, I hurt my […]
When I am reading my own reports from past mayfly seasons I wonder what was wrong this year? The cold and wet spring probably played its part, as the vegetation was also somewhat delayed. The first true hatches of mayflies occured around 1. June, and […]
