Summer in October

We have unusually warm weather in Poland in the end of October. Daytime temperature is about +18 C +20 C.  It's a great conditions for insect hatches. I arrived to the river , with hope of good hatch. Water level was 106 cm, flow 5,6 m3/s. Unfortunately, water was dirty, and there was a lot of algae carried by the current. I spotted some decent fish from the bridge, in 40-50 cm range. Probably they were rainbows. I tried to seduce them with tiny emerger, with no success. Then I decided to take break of fishing, and have some running exercise.   Sport and fitness is another my passion.  I ran 5 km along the river, then returned to the spot. Then I changed dress and continued fishing. Surprisingly, there was only two fishermen apart me, on the whole river stretch. Quite rare thing, there's usually crowded spot.  I started with nymph in the rapids. Soon I got two fish strike, but both are lost.  They were average brown trout.  But I wanted to catch rainbows in part
