Welcome to a new fly fishing post.
in October we went for the last fly fishing of this season of this year. To end this season we head to the Traun reiver in Austria. Probably one of the best spots to end this season. The nature around the river is just beautiful and during the autumn time it has a uniqe athmosphere. I try to take some pictures to share this experience with you. Please enjoy!
We started the day early and wen to a spot we knew from our previous visits.
This is by far my favorite spot here and everytime i come here it is different.
This time the water was hihger then i remembered and everthing was covered in thick fog.
The current was strong and the water cold and clear.
Time for me to grap my gear and start.
After a while of unsucesfull fishing i decided to walk around and take some pictures of this awesome nature.
There was a beaver dam. unfortunately could i not catch the beaver with my camera
The colors of the trees and the fog made it all look very mystical.
All the animals were quite shy and hard to capture.
It was hard to sneak up on them.
So i tryed my best from distance.
A mystical tree within the water of the river.
The sun was still covered by the fog.
We only caught smaller fish and nothing really to show.
But the wildlife around us was amazing. And there where thousands of crayfish around.
The crayfish was easy to catch. But this is not what we came for and they were also carrying eggs so we let them go again.
Here some pictures of the insects which are living in the river and are one of the main food sources here for trouts and other fish. This is a sedge fly larva.
And here some freshwater shrimps
Here a more detailed picture of a sedge fly larva. Cute little monsters.
We still visited a few other spots but the photos turned out to be not so good.
Even we did not catch big trouts, it was an amazing experience again. For me fishing means more then catching fish all the time it is more about being in the nature and appreciate it. So i can say it was a wonderful time and i can´t wait to come back here soon.
I hope you liked my post and feel free to leave a comment or a question i am happy to reply.
Have a wonderful day and see you soon!
