Savski boleni u proljeće +++ Aspius Aspius from river Sava

Kako vodiš varalicu? To pitanje je najčešće vezano za lov bolena u proljeće. Puno važnije je gdje. Prvo ga treba naći, onda još pogoditi varalicu i prezentaciju iste, a ponekad i boju. Znači, gdje? U principu, gdje se nalazi u ljetnim mjesecima, nalazi se i sada, samo što je malo suptilniji u lovu, još nema onih divljačkih rauba kad kederi bježe na sve strane u krugu 2-3 metra. Kederi još nisu skroz na površini, već malo dublje pa je i njegov način lova malo drugačiji i teži za otkriti. Treba puno više truda i iako se ne radi o 1000 zabačaja kao kod mladice, u par izlazaka skupi ih se i toliko. Ali kad srebrni torpedo od 7o-8o cm stisne u štromu pa krene u dubinu, ili punom brzinom nizvodno jednako brzo raste i adrenalin, čovjek zaboravi sve i uživa u trenutku.. Zato i idemo u ribolov, zar ne?

Fanatici ili budale na otvorenju sezone ribolova na lipljana

Što napraviti kada vam planirani vikend pokvari nevrijeme i svjesni ste da će uvjeti za ribolov biti nemogući? Pametni vjerojatno ostaju kod kuće, no nismo dopuštali zdravom razumu da prevlada. Uostalom pripremili smo sve potrebno za dvodnevno preživljavanje u surovim uvjetima Gorskog Kotara. Meso za roštilj, piće i sve ostale ribičke sitnice potrpane su u auto i odustajanja nema, iako kiša lije ko iz kabla. Otvorenje sezone na lipljana jednostavno nećemo propustiti, pa makar bili jedini na vodi. Već iz aviona bilo je jasno da su Curak i Kupica pretvoreni u bujični, blatni kanal, a i Kupa je polagano ali sigurno poprimala boju bijele kave i pravo je čudo da sam u tim uvjetima uspio na strimer uloviti jednu potočaru na Kupi. No subotnji ribolov je trajao prekratko da bi se uopće mogao ozbiljnije uzeti u obzir, pa smo već nakon sat vremena otišli do iznajmljenog apartmana. Apartman je bio mrak, ogroman, sa velikom dnevnom sobom i pogledom na Kupu koja teće i buja tek par metara ispod terase. Na terasi se te večeri peklo meso na roštilju, na velikom LCD televizoru smo gledali Porin, sa nadom da će se uvjeti do drugog jutra promijeniti.

16.05. dan je kada prestaje lovostaj na lipljana. Obično bi se toga dana horde ribiča sjatile na Kupicu u potjeru za lipljanima, no ovaj puta smo bili jedini fanatici ili budale, koje su se nećemu nadale. Ribolov na Kupici ili Curku nije imao smisla, ali se Kupa lagano počela bistriti, pa smo otišli na slovensku stranu, na neke uzvodne pozicije. Nadali smo se kakvim pastrvama no ribolov strimerima je zbog bujične vode bio gotovo nemoguć, iako je Miro uspio prevariti jednu kalifu. No zato su lipljani za divno čudo uspjevali u mutnoj vodi pogoditi naše jigove i gamaruse. Svi smo ulovili nekoliko lipljana za početak nove sezone, tako da nezadovoljstu nije bilo mjesta. Sada ostaje za pričekati da se za dan, dva Kupica izbistri i ako ne bude novih kiša, evo nas opet u našem lijepom Gorskom Kotaru...

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!
