oholi 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2015 As i told... unfortunatelly, there was too much of blood spilling recently. My first fishing in Bosnia was during world fly fishing championship. Opposite to serbian rivers, most of them are chalk streams. Gin clear, more or less constant temperature. Hatches can be massive often. Olive ephemeras are among most common insects, and more massive the hatch the less in size are insects. Nymphing was an issue for me. Short line i've mastered pretty well. But Bosnian style i knew only in theory. Basics are one fly only, size small 18 or 20 rarely 16. Leader is long, tapered part about 9ft but tippet 3 to 4meters. Point is to cast long line, 10 to 20m (not counting leader). Cast upstream at some angle with leader collapsing, so fly gets down faster. Just let it drift for a while (this part is not part of fishing it lets fly go deep, more than 2m), do an upstream mend of whole line, except last 0,5 to 1m, that is an indicator. Start leading everything, a little bit slowlier than water speed. Strike is seen at the end of the line or felt in hand. You had fished pliva river, its the best method for that river. I dont know if they showed it to you? Once when you get it, its very good and extremly interesting way to fish. Since strike indicators are not allowed at competitions this was one way to have fish. Czeh method at pliva was impossible at most beats. Just to mention, i am happy you had i guess a nice time in my country. I see you remember lots of words Now i will go to post some pics in other topic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocco 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2015 When I fished the Pliva there were very few locals using fly tackle. Typically theu used a spinning rod and a clear bubble (kuglica) with 2 or 3 droppers for flies imitating the then current hatch. These guys knew the trout lies and they were very efficient at fishing pocket water at the peak of the hatch. I caught a few decent fish but only by watching how and where they fished.

oholi 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 Well always ask locals for advice. No matter how odd they look, they know their river Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 Oholi ... in some areas, you have to be careful of the locals, though. (Hears banjo music in the background!) If you haven't watched "Deliverance" ... it's a must see before going into unknown woods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oholi 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2015 Hi all, i got my hands on some cheap yet very good hooks. They are barbless with spearpoint. Size 16 Here are some ideas i came with. Pt nymph with some cdc BWO My favourite klinkhammer with uv ice dub tan Shuttlecock Egg laying caddis Well, when one have too much free time than something like this sees the day Idea is that tippet is above water at least 1cm in front of the fly. Hook is not for dries but who cares Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 Vlad... these flies you're posting are all masterpieces. But I fear many on this forum may not be viewing them because you're posting them in the "Introduce yourself" forum. We keep a running thread in the "Fly Tying Bench" for the flies of the month. I'd really like to see you post these over there so you can show your talent to all the members. I guarantee your flies will be a real hit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocco 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 Oholi, Are you still staying in the loop here? I hope so. By the way do you know the guys behind "Alamazan Kitchen"? They are based in Sumadjia somewhere. Great site but not for vegetarians. Regards, Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
