Three King's Day and Holy Fish
Today is Epiphany - Christian holiday, known as Święto Trzech Króli (Holiday of Three Kings) in Poland.
So why not celebrate it on the water, and catch something? Weather was warm, cloudy sky, air temperature +8 +10 C. Water level 246 cm, flow 9,8 m3/s. Water temperature +4 C.
Fishing usually very slow in January, I didn't expect that I will catch something decent.
But Gods of nature made me a present.
First fish was this nice brown trout, which jumped two times, and landed in my big net.
I measured it as 45 cm, that's quite a success!
It took "parkinson" nymph. I tried red tag and freshly tied wet fly, with no success.
Shortly after , I got second fish. It was smaller, but even more active. It jumped 4 or 5 times, before I netted that wild beauty.
34 cm, which also not bad. Same pink parkinson nymph.
I tried wet fly on floating/sinking shoorint head (Zpey FSS), without success. But, casting small spey rod for trout is a pleasure.
Unfortunately, fish was not very cooperating, and I didn't have any bites in next two hours.
But it was decent day of the water, and nice way to spend holiday.
Tight lines to everyone!
