Guide?

Postby czech flyfisherman » March 26th, 2009, 5:25 pm

Hey my friends.

Everybody know I wanna be guide and now I am so close to do it. I spend last week (5 days) in Poland. I fish one of the best river in Poland the San River and the second one Dunajec. The fishing wasn't bad but the weather was terrible, snow, rain, big wind etc. The river holds big numbers of fish, Grayling up to 20inch, wild Brown trout up to 25inch and also Taimen up to 50inch. Even the weather was bad I did land some fish, mostly Grayling. And I have one Taimen on too but he break me off.
The river have some special regulation. No strike indicator, just two flies :o and no split shot. But this kind of fishing is realy good for me :D . The fishing license is $30 a day so it's not cheap, but it's worth it.

The San river is 95% dry fly fishing and I will be helping there with client's
The Dunajec is realy made for my :D . Is mostly nymph and streamer fishing. And I will start work there this year part time and next year full time like the Boss Guide in the river :D . So I am very happy now.

Here is some link if you wanna check it.
For San River www.san.fish.pl
For Dunajec www.dunajec.fish.pl

I will post some pict later.
O.k guys I miss you all and I will stay in touch.

Looks like some wonderful water, buddy. I admit to a certain level of envy here. Not that I'd trade the fishing we have here, but still, you are getting to experience some fantastic and varied waters. Keep bringing it to us. :D
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Can't wait to see your pics, I thought we had some good ones in the snow but I'm sure that is nothing compared to over where you were this past weekend.

Congrats on the job!!!

Interesting sites Zee. I wish you luck in becoming a guide. Should be fun.

Zee-
What the heck....you already are a guide in my book! That's great news that you being picked for the Polish job. You will give your clients a good day on the river. Looking forward to seeing you when you get back to the States. Share some pictures when you get a chance. I've seen the Taimen in the videos...amazing fish.

Zee-
Thanks for sharing the pictures. That Mercedes Jeep thing is wild! Not getting a ticket is wilder. The fishing looks like you are right in your element. Can't wait to see the pictures when the fish really start biting.
