A friendly company at Trakošćan lake

photo: Robi and Zdravko

A beautiful day, fishing with my dear friends Robi and Crni at Trakošćan lake.
We caught some bass, pike and roach on our rods. It was relaxing and I was really enjoying in fly fishing even I was unlucky to catch some carp. And I saw a lot of them, but all were disinterested for my flies. Fly fishing for "non trout" fish can be frustrating sometimes, but every fish caught on fly rod is somehow worthwhile for me, regardless what species is on the fly rod. Last year I was lucky to nick following species on fly rod at this lake: carp, roach, bream, bass, small cat fish - all difficult and frustrating to catch, except roach that is always interested for dry fly. Bass is know for holding a soft stick baits in mouth for seconds, but with streamer or nymph you have only a second to recognize the byte and to tight the line. But this is a charm of this beautiful fishing discipline. At the end I was really glad to fish with Crni adn Robi yesterday. Due to business duties we didn't have many occasions in last period.

Lake Drnić in Podravina

report by Dalien
Drnić Lake is one of the first Catch and release lakes in Podravina region. It has about 3ha and is surrounded by forest which reflects on the water surface all the time.This combined with the greenish clear water and weedy bottom gives the lake unnatural beauty. The second you take a glance at the lake you will forget all unwanted thoughts and get the deep feeling of relaxation. The lake is home to many trophy pikes up to 10 kgs and the biggest carp is 20 kg. There is also a good bass population. There is a fishing cabin, a big grill and sand volleyball field on the shore so it ideal place for the whole family...more info on the lake at http://www.zsrk-djurdjevac.com...please call Anđelko Lukanec 0038598686291 fro fishing ticket purchase...

Croatian rivers on film

Just discovered this trailer for a fantastic film about Croatian rivers Mura and Drava on youtube :)



Inaće nisam imao prilike vidjeti knjigu o Ušću Mure, no ona je nedavno izišla i bila je promocija pa koga zanima neka je pokuša nabaviti. Pogledajte link.

Lake Ontario from the beginning of the season

Here are some pike photos from the beginning of this season. Generally a lot of pike were caught, although most fish were not close to the bank. We had best results on silicone lures on jig heads, at the distance of 10-30m from the bank. I tried a few times to catch some pike on the fly, but I was lucky only few times. A few sunny days are needed to warm the water, and fish will come close to the bank. Then fly fishing for pike and carp will be my top fishing activity. Many fishermen are fishing on this lake and on lake Duga in this period. Catch statistics show that at least 3 pike were bigger than 90cm, and a lot were over 80cm. Probably several hundred pike were around 55cm, and this is far better that anyone had expected. And the best part of the season is in front of us. Tight lines!

Seaside postcards

My friend Željko and I spent a few days at Lošinj, Cres and Krk Islands.
We had good a fishing time, caught a few sea bream, two gilt heads, some bastard mackerel, one sea bass, even one octopus... here are some pics...

Filmovi o športskom ribolovu V.S.P. +++ Fishing movies V.S.P.

Video produkcija ribolovnih filmova u svijetu je u velikom porastu. Dostupnost digitane tehnologije omogućila je ribičima da rade više ili manje kvalitetne video filmove ili klipove, danas po pristupačnoj cijeni čak i u HD kvaliteti. Jedan od pionira produkcije ribolovnih filmova kod nas, a vjerojatno jedini, produktivni i konstantni video izdavač je Igor Pavičić, osnivač studija za video, dizajn i produkciju V.S.P., koji je do sada objavio čak 21 film na području RH i 4 na području EU.

Igor je dobro znan u ribičkim krugovima kao izvrstan „all round“ ribič, koji podjednako dobro lovi sve vrste riba i barata svim ribolovnim tehnikama, pa kao natjecatelj postiže sjaje rezultate. Krenimo od najnovijeg uspjeha, pobjede na netom završenom natjecanju u varaličarenju Predator Savagear kupu održanom na zagrebačkom Ontariju, pa nabrojivši osvajanje Storm kupa 2003., Spin kupa Šoderica- Ješkovo 2008., Carp kupa Ješkovo 2008., Carp kupa Jošava 2000., a možda največi rezultat je osvajanje brončane medalje na 2. Svjetskom prvenstvu u ribolovu šarana, koje je samo predhodilo sjajnim kasnijim rezultatima Hrvatske šaranaške reprenzentacije. Zajedno sa ŠRU Piškor upravo je i osnivač Hrvatske reprenzentacije u ribolovu šarana, a nakon uspjeha na Svjetskom prvenstvu i Hrvatske šaranaške lige, koja se u kontinuitetu uspješno održava od 2001. godine. Osim toga Igor je dugogodišnji suradnik raznih ribolovnih časopisa - Športskog ribolova, Ribiča&Riba, slovenskog Vode i Mi...

Svoje bogato ribolovno, novinarsko i fotografsko iskustvo pretočio je u niz filmova od kojih ćemo neke recenzirati na ovom blogu. Uglavnom svi sojevi športskih ribiča mogu naći neki od filmova po svom ukusu, bilo da se radi o šaranašima ili varaličarima, a vrijednost filmova je i u turističkom promicanju imena nekih voda na kojima su snimani. Spomenimo samo neke: Šumbar, Ješkovo, Zajarki, Borovik, Tribalj, Lapovac, Jošava, Kruščica, Koprivnička šoderica. Dunav, Rakitje... Dakle radi se o izvrsnoj promociji od koje korist imaju ribička društva koja gospodare tim vodama, a mogla bi i Hrvatska turistička zajednica kada bi napokon shvatila potencijal športsko ribolovnog turizma.

Više informacija o samim filmovima i o narudžbi možete saznati od Igora na 098-436499

Predstavljamo "Ribolov iz brodice" priručnik za ribolov Jadranom +++ "Fishing from the boat" - handbook for fishing the Adriatic

Uvijek mi je zadovoljstvo imati u rukama knjigu koja se bavi ribičkom tematikom, još i više ako ju je napisao netko od nas, ovdašnjih ribiča. Mladen Marković napisao je priručnik za ribolov Jadranom pod nazivom "Ribolov iz brodice". Većini ribičke populacije možda i nije potrebno predstaviti autora, no za one koji ne znaju riječ je o ribičkom entuzijastu i novinaru koji trenutno uređuje među slanim ribičima popularan časopis "Ribolov na Jadranu". Taj časopis je nasljednik prvog hrvatskog časopisa koji je bio specijaliziran za ribolov na moru, naše inačice talijanskog izdanja "Pesca in Mare". Usput bio je dugogodišnji suradnik u časopisu "Športski ribolov" i urednik nažalost ugaslog časopisa "Udica".

No vratimo se na knjigu koju s guštom listam kad me ulovi sjeta za morem, brancinima, oradama i svim slanim ribicama koje se love na udicu. Ribolov iz brodice je zanimljiv i poučan priručnik za sve koji vole svoj pribor namakati u slanoj vodi, a ako posjeduju i kakav kaić onda im je to gotovo nezaobilazna literatura u kojoj će naći sve potrebne detalje kojima će unaprijediti svoju ribolovnu tehniku i doći do vrijednih trofeja. Ovo ribičko krstarenje kreće izborom brodova za sportski ribolov, brodske elektronike, opreme za sidrenje, štapova i rola za ribolov, ribolovnih struna, udica i ostalog pribora, pa do presjeka osnovnih ribolovnih tehnika, vezanja potrebnih čvorova i predveza, pregleda osnovnih mamaca, pa do najpoželjnijih ulova prilikom ribolova iz brodice za svaku tehniku posebno. Kako ribolov iz brodice dijelimo na onaj stacionarni, te na ribolov panulom ili big game, tako su sve tehnike opisane u zasebnim poglavljima. Za svaku pohvalu je i dodatak koji je napisao talijanski stručnjak za sve popularniji vertical jigging Simone Bini. Uglavnom riječ je o lagano čitljivom, nadasve zanimljivom i poučnom priručniku koji jako lijepo izgleda, a osim korisnih tekstova ima i pregršt kvatitetnih fotografija sa morskim trofejima i ilustracija koje pojednostavljuju male tajne morskih vukova. Ono što će sigurno razveseliti strane državljane koji vole ljetovati i loviti ribe na Jadranu je skoro objavljivanje ove knjige i na nekim od svjetskih jezika.
