Hard work, 5 trout in 5 hours
Recent rain in Dunajec river basin spoiled water clarity. I came early in the morning, to start fishing at 4:00. Water level was medium-low. 158 cm and flow 34,4 m3/s at Gołkowice. But I could barely see the bottom in 1 meter deep runs. I started with quite big (10 cm) streamers, having in mind to catch Huchen (hucho hucho) - king of Polish rivers. Streamers didn't give me any bites. It's really strange, because I'm sure there's a lot of fish in this river. Where they are? Probably, not feeding today? I switched to my Euro nymphing setup. Soon, I got couple of brown trout. Less than average, 30 cm with something. But, it was better than zero. Both fish were taken on "Parkinson" - silicone worm nymph. I continued to explore run with nymphs. Once I got strike from bigger fish. I think 40-45 cm. It fought hard, jumped, and unfortunately came off the hook. It was a nice fish. The biggest fish of the day is usually the one, which you didn't catch....
