Czarny Dunajec. 40+ fish in 3 hours

Image
One friend on Facebook recommended me to go to Czarny Dunajec in the middle section. This part of the river is not very popular, actually I didn't meet any other anglers that day. The river was a bit dirty after rain, with colored water. I fished only with short nymphing method, due to water conditions.  The fish was almost in every pocket. I walked downstream from the bridge where I parked my car. I had 40 or 50 hits on my nymph in 3 hours. The fish was mostly small, but of diverse types:  brown trout, grayling, chub.  The best action was in the morning. During middle of the day, fish became more lazy. When I was about to leave, I hooked biggest grayling of the day. This fish made my day. Very beautiful. I didn't take many photos of my catch, but there was big number of fish caught and released. One of the most productive fishing sessions ever. The photos are a bit gloomy, but in reality it looks better.

The river above splits to 3 separate channels, with gravel islands between them.  Where two flows join together, there's deep hole with backwater eddie.  I was suspected that there should be a trout waiting just under the inlet of the main current flow. I made a cast into the spot, and the fish took immediately. First cast, first fish, what a luck!  Due to weekend, there were quite a lot of recreational kayakers. But they didn't interrupt my fishing. I fished this eddie from different sides, from upstream and from downstream. It looks like fishy spot.  I caught few graylings in it. Which is good for Raba. Graylings are not so common there, compared to brown trout in numbers. The place was very productive. I caught many graylings. Later in the evening, I hooked a bigger fish. It was a rainbow trout. The fish made few speedy runs up and down , and jumped few times. Very strong. I attempte
