How the day fished

Good fishing with many fish in the net. The flat part under the connection with the Ribnik was very productive for dry fly fishing during the afternoon hatch, with all sizes of fish rising.

In the connection the best technique was euro nymphing with two smaller nymphs; the biggest graylings were caught in this part. The end of the LTG stretch was also good, but mostly for indicator fishing and dries, with mostly average sized fish but many action. Fishing 7x fluorocarbon was mandatory as the water is still low.
