SLOVENIAN FLY FISHING NEWS,
HUCHO-HUCHO REPORTS
FLY FISHING 2010 KNOCKING ON THE DOOR!,
26.2.2010 Hi back in the fishing news! After conclusion of a hard and cold hucho fishing season, we had a short brake and now we are in front of a new fly fishing season 2010 which will open on Monday, March 1st. First rivers to be opened are Radovna, Sava Radovljica, Krka and few minor less known rivers. Weather is predicted to be very nice with high daily temperatures and sunshine. River banks are still covered with snow but it is getting thinner and thinner every day. Pictures were taken yesterday and are showing Radovna in Krnica dam and Sava Radovljica at the bridge in Lancovo (catch and release section). Krka is still high and will hardly be fishable on Monday, March 1st. There are already prices known for the 2010 fishing permits but not yet for all the rivers.. Check which prices are already out on the folowing link here!. This list will be updated when we receive also the prices for other rivers for which we sell fishing permits.
FINALLY RAIN IS HERE!,
5.2.2010 Wondering why such a long silence? Well, if we would want to write about something all we could wrote about would be beautiful winter time scenery with sun shine and crystal clear water having just some 3°C. Did I mention, that the air had from -10°C to -15°C? In such conditions even spinning for Hucho is hard, not to mention fly fishing. Last time our guide had to blow in the rings to loosen the fly line from the icy grip! But now situations is getting better! Not for the skiers but for the Hucho hunters: it is raining and temperature is around zero. Perfect for some catch. There is also a new group of flies in the FaunaFlyShop which is.. should we say a wallet friendly group ;-)
LESS THAN A MONTH OF HUCHO FINALE,
19.1.2010 Less than a month before closing the Hucho season, show still rolls on and a hunt for the largest beast in 09-10 season is still open! At the moment, Sava Bohinjka is gin-clear and you can count every single Hucho in the river! It is more easy to track them but more demanding to hide on the bank so they don`t see you. Mornings and evenings really kick in now! January is showing morning temperatures -9°C and during the day up to 5 and nice sun shine. Stay tuned, we should land some nice lady Hucho since they got nice appetite before the spawning season! PS: in case your stepfather has his birthday in near future, you might consider to check for some Swiss machinery in FaunaFlyShop ;-)
INTO THE NEW YEAR,
9.1.2010 New years holidays are over and it is time to go back on Hucho huntings! Slovenia is covered with a fresh fallen snow and the scenery is very nice. Also snow weather mixed with some rain helps with Hucho fishing conditions. The season has turned in to the second part and offers new challenges with the fish slowly starting to gather together and preparing for the spawning season. Females Hucho will start to feed more aggressively because of the spawning fast in February. This of course can be a nice advantage if you are a Hucho fisherman! And not to forget, weather in this January has so far been really "user`s friendly" with the temperatures not dropping below -4 degrees. No freezing lines so far! ;-)
BEST WISHES TO ALL FISHERMANS!!!,
30.12.2009 And we are closing yet another fly fishing year 2009. We would like to extend our gratefulness to all of you who had visited us during the season, to all who had contributed images for this news page, to all who were giving us a positive feedback about what we do and the job we carry on for many years now. In the same grasp, we wish you a prosper, healthy and as fishable as possible New Year 2010!!
What about Hucho news!? Yes, what about that; probably you heard that nature is getting weird also down here in Slovenia.. instead of white and Hucho fishable Christmas, we had a flood and lots of rain .. Rivers were too high even for spinn fishing, so we are forced to wait for the first days of January when water level will be perfect again. Also the weather is promising, just few degrees below zero!
Do not forget to check the news in FaunaFlyShop , maybe there is some thing there you might find useful! We will be back in the office on Monday, January 4th. Cheers!
FREEEEEZING LINES AND REELS,
17.12.2009 While we are waiting for our Fly Fishermans to land some Hucho, we had recieved this image, showing our guide landing a nice sized Hucho in worst to wish weather conditions. This is actually the last rain we saw in 2009! Since than, we had received just minor shipments of the snow, but not enough to spoil the Sava Bohinjka till the optimal opaque color. We were foretelled a really low temperatures for this weekend, dropping down to -13 degrees, preventing any cind of fly fishing activity because of freezing fly lines and reels. We need to wait till the next week, when nice warming is forecasted and larger moon will be shining. Till than, you can browse threw new nymph patterns recently added to our nymph selection of our FaunaFlyShop.
