Gloomy day on Skawa

It was a hard decision to me , where to go on Saturday. Vah in Slovakia or Skawa in Wadowice.
Vah - decent numbers of big fish, but often crowded, and it's about 2,2 hours to drive.
Skawa is close to my home, only 45 km, so I can spend more time fishing, than driving.

First, I arrived to Wadowice and started fishing near the highway bridge. Water was dirty. Level 110 cm, flow 6,5 m3/s. I started with "long" nymph, but didn't have any bites.

Then I moved to other location, to Jaroszowice bridge.  The place was kind of busy.

I moved to the downstream side of bridge. There is nice pocketwater. I covered it thoroughly from both sides.

Fish didn't bite. Maybe there's no fish in this river?
But these men above the bridge were pulling fish from time to time.

I walked upstream to the flats, with hope to find rising fish.
There's a sign , set up by local angling association. It defines borders of Catch and release fishery.

There's the "flats" - section of the river, popular among dry fly anglers.
I tied in small caddis pattern, and gave it a try.

I've seen one or two rising fish, but not too much. Looks like they don't want eat insects today.

So, I switched to Euro nymphing.  There's many suitable sections for nymphing on this river.

Half of day passed, but I had only one bite. I lost many nymphs due to snagging.
Oh, here it is, my first trout!

Not big, but at least my score is not zero.

I walked almost 1 km along the river. There's another big flat section, good for dry fly.  No fish rising :-(
I returned back, to the rapids section.

After 3rd run of my nymphs in deeper channel, I got this!
Fish was strong, and forced me to run downstream a bit, to move it out of fast current .

That was biggest fish of the day.

Then, there was another rainbow, but smaller.  Unfortunately, I didn't scored many fish, only 3 landed and 2 lost.  It's my lowest score on Skawa per se.
