Flyfishing in this temperature might indicate that the fisherman should visit a psycologist the sooner the better! However, I landed 7 graylings during a short session.

Guiding Maic Gärtner, Germany. Czech nymphing paid off! Salmontrip 1st week of August
Do you wonder what a grayling fishing guide does when he is on holiday? FISHING of course!!! Salmon this time.
The salmon above was hooked with this special version of GREY HERON size 6.
Full dressed salmon flies are not always necessary.
This one fell for a Hares Ear size 10!
Here is another example......
A black/green olive gold head size 10, barbless Knapek hook, tied by Jan Siman.
Another untraditional example....

Between 9 and 11 on evening.....
I had a lot of fun with this heron wing creation size 4.
Early in the morning....

Tim Fierant thinking "small is not always bad"
Milo Fierant was the "kingfisher" of the day. 19.02.06
