Adventures of fly angler in Poland

Raba is number one choice for trout fishermen living in Kraków, because it's nearest river to the city with good population of brown trout, rainbow trout and grayling. I fished it many times with variable success. Fishing can be very good in summer and autumn, but usually slow in early spring, because of cold water.

The belt sits a little bit low for my taste, but nothing prevents to wear it without beckets. It also have integrated gravel guards, which are the same color and material, as wa...
