Mayfly hatch on Dunajec

Image
During Easter holidays I decided to visit OS Dunajec again, with intention to meet mayfly hatch. Also, I got new Guideline PT Compact scandi sinking head for my double hand rod, and wanted to test in on the water. The night before the trip was, cold, up to -1.5 C in the mountains. I came to Wojtek Kudłacz's guest house "Fly fishing in Poland" at 6.45. I bought a license and few excellent CDC mayflies in the fly shop. It was too cold for fishing early in the morning. I dressed up like in winter (fleece jacket and rain coat, wool cap), and went to the "first wall" spot to try sinking line with streamers. Water dropped down a bit, and Guideline PT compact I/S5/S6 was too much - I had many snags and lost few streamers. No fish bites. After air warmed up a bit, I moved to next spot, Ksiądzowe pole . There is fast flowing stretch, the most picturesque on upper part of OS Dunajec. No fish bites also. But, my main goal here was to test my double hand rod. T
