A Great Morning with Barbel and Pikes

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought it would be a good idea to take pictures while fishing some Lunker City shades and Doiyo crank bites. I started early in the morning and after the first rays of sunshine hit the water, I had the first bang in my rod. I was hoping for zander but soon I realised that my adversary was fighting like a submarine...indeed, a barbel.

After a few minutes my rod bent again during that morning. It was piketime, 6 lbs / 72 cm.

The cranks worked good aswell and caught smaller northern pike. I had a lot of fun. Enjoy the pictures!

Fly Flishing on a small creek - Schlossauer Ohe 06.05.2011

The Bavarian Forrest has a lot of good rivers and creeks for fly fishing. I was spending an evening on one of the less known streams in the area, the Schlossauer Ohe. My day was relaxing, caught many fish without to expect monsters. AFTMA 3 gear was more than enough for this fun.

Torpedo on the hook - Mühlheimer Ache 01.05.2011

First fly fishing this year. A friend told me stories about big barbels on the Mühlheimer Ache and I was starving for a topedo on the hook, so I jumped into the car and drove to Austria. The water was clear, I was sightening some rainbows from the bridge but not that was my target. Starting with a PT BD was a good idea, the nymph brought me the first fish, a nice rainbow but I wanted more. In search of barbels I found a good deep pool and also changed the nymph, put a big 1gr. lead shot on the line about 20 cm from the nymph and soon I had the first torpedo on my hook. I catched 5 barbels and a rainbow during the whole day, first 3 barbels between 4-5lbs. Enjoy the pictures.
