Finicky fish
Today Skawa was low and clear 125 cm and 11,2 m3/s.
Due to heavy wind, there was no or very little insect activity.
Fish didn't eat mayflies, as usually. There was a lot of fish near me, ignoring any offers.
I tries first dry fly. No reaction. Then I switched to streamer. I had one good take, but fish was lost.
Maybe wet fly? These trout were feeding on something under surface, probably on emergers.
I had one take on wet fly, but fish also was not hooked reliably.
The last attempt - what about small nymph? I tied in micronymph on hook 16 to regular dry fly leader, and fished it as classic wet fly swing.
I had couple of takes, and one fish was fooled.
Still better than nothing. The wind direction only allowed to cast downstream. Terrible conditions for casting.
I can't find key to these trout. What do they want? I asked other fishermen, they also had poor results. Only one guy told that he caught 9 trout, all on nymph.
I finished at 14:30, because wind was getting worse. Such a contrast with previous day, when conditions was perfect.
