Hi Maks
Com on ..I dont know are those dead chubs but that is only chub.It is actually good deed if those two are dead:thumbs:It is not forbidden to catch and kill chub as much as you like on my home town waters for example ...
And I understand your point but UK forum is full with photos of dead fish.Just check threads about English rivers and lakes...

To be frank - we took after the method "catch and release" from England and USA, so if on our fly fishing forums appears picture with any dead fish - it will be immediately deleted and you can forget to be the member of this web site or it will be very difficult to raise your reputation. Even now on other fishing sites it is also not appreciated and will be deleted.
Maybe these countries have to much fish that we don't. At least we should bring up our younger generation to release fish.
Fly-fishing is the thing more about art, aesthetics, nice pictures...
I think you understand me....

haha..I dont think that English are to blame about inventing C&R
Did you know that English,not that long ago,used to harvest grayling from rivers and feed pigs with them..Allegedly grayling was trouble in water and bothers fine english gentlemen while they was fishing for trout..
Well,now they call grayling Lady of stream..so times are changing :thumbs:

About your forum rules ,it is same thing on my site ,but you and me must obey laws ,and law says here that one can catch and take 5 trout per day,bigger than 25cm....except in no-kill zones of course:thumbs:

Another matter,yes they do have more fish than we do but most of that fish they have is stocked .They have literally millions of fishermen and fishing is big business for them so waters are under big pressure...

Yes,I do understand you ..fishing is all that you said:thumbs:

I dont count them too
I dont fish huchen intentionally ,I mean I dont have nerves and money to do it..Fishermen say that huchen is fish of 1000 casts ...I will add one more zero to that number so I do what I like the best,brown trout and small streams

 

[nymphist]

Brown trout and small streams sounds good enough:thumbs:, its just me that Im thinking sometimes how would I feel to try this 1000+cast thing...mg:

Hi Ray
It's easy. Come to Montenegro next summer and you'll not be jealous anymore.

Fall time is,or better say always was, good time for trout and grayling fishing here...But,this fall is no like the others...Drought usually last for month,maybe litle more during summer but this season we had more than 3 months without drop .Last couple weeks we had some rain but nothing happen,river Zeta is still low and fishing is bad too...but I managed to get trout or two

Here are some photos ,first some wild pomegranate fruit,good sign that fishing should be good...

















Only place where I found raising and active trout



And some wet flies that I used in North Country Spider style ,bigger is size 16,smaller are 18

 

[nymphist]

cool looking waters and flies MJ, drought was a problem here as well

 

[falsecast]

Great pictures again Joni, beautiful river. Looks as though 8 metre leaders would be very useful there

Yes there are,grayling and huchen season last till 15.february :thumbs: but rivers Tara and Lim are not that close to me and I cant go there on daily bases
We dont have any type of water with rainbows ,but I can fish chub all year round
