I normally try to go at least once a year to Noteć Forest (Puszcza Notecka) in Poland, an area said to be the least populated in Europe. This can be true, judging from the map:
There, without any effort, you’ll see castors, eagles, cranes, etc. Fish are also there but the summer time is not the best one for fly-fishing, as we all know it. However, I did take two rods, 8 and 4 strong this time. Unfortunately, the conditions in my lakes were hopeless, high temperatures all the time, water at 28 degrees Celsius, so I had no choice but to do some spin fishing. Pikes were completely passive, except for the ones like this:
Perches were much more active but only around 5 a.m., no mercy ;). I had some decent ones like this below:
But the biggest surprise was when I did some worm fishing at the end:
I had some nice tenches, the fish I caught only once before, in Echternach lake. They are said to be very cautious but these ones were quite aggressive and took the worms like crazy. All were returned to the water, I was probably only one there practicing C&R but anyway. The question is now where one can regularly fish tenches in Luxembourg and how to do it with dryflies?
