Dry fly fishing with large flies

Dry fly fishing with large flies is one of my favorite ways of fishing. There is no better view of a few circles on the water, made by trout swallowing insects below and at the surface of the river. Targeting a meters upstream and wait for fly to disappear in a noisy whirlwind, with a happy end is an action that I could repeat endlessly. The only problem is that in the most of the cases trout will precisely ignore the fly and selectively eat the other insects, only a few centimeters away. But that’s the game I like. Not always easy, but sweet when you scored. This is exactly what happened with this beautiful brow trout at river Gacka. Swarming files is a daily ritual at this river. Mostly small Beathis Rhodani files are swallowed by trout below the surface, but at the evening you can see large sedge flies dancing at the surface. Fishing with the large sedge imitations is pretty cool, cause I like to see my fly well. Ok, maybe trout can see fraud easily, and it took me almost 10 minutes to persuade this brown, but it finally grabbed the offered fly. This was one of the prettiest brown trout I have caught on river Gacka in last few years, and excellent model to be photographed.
