Fishing Ribnik with John

July 13th, 2012 Paul Arden Comments off

Just a few images from the last three days. Fishing was by far best in the last hour of daylight and slightly beyond. Had a cracking grayling today – it’s on John’s camera. Best moment may have been a double hook-up with John’s brown and my grayling caught on dark. Almost all fish caught on size 22 CDCs. Had a cracking evening tonight including plenty of nice fish.

Hungary later today… Asp await!

: Evening mist (a superb pool for browns).

: Typical Ribnik Brown.

: Double hook-up (John hides his fish).

: *gone*

: John’s fish, cleverly photographed in the dark by Paul

: Lovely colours

: Low water conditions.

: Action…

Bosnia and Latohead Meet

October 4th, 2010 Paul Arden Comments off

Here are some shots from the last week. Mark, Trev and I fished the Ribnik together for three days of exciting grayling action – well to be honest the first day was challenging, we felt we nailed them well on the second day and very little happened on the third day. The animal in question which is very obviously feeding in one of the photos was carefully imitated by the three of us.

The weekend saw a bunch of us casting at Latohegy for the SL Meet. We played the Danish Games and had a Shootout, along with demonstrations, wine tasting and fun.

Photos from me (the random and generally focus-free ones) as well as from both Trev and Zsofia. Thanks!
