HIDDEN PATHS

Opening marble trout season

For a 3rd. Of April i was fishing with my friend Klemen at some small rivers, managed by fishing club Tolmin.  As you already know i prefer small rivers and creek while i fish for my self.

In the morning it was preety sunny weather and the river Bača was low, so we did not expect catching many marble trout, but anyway this time we were just easy-going and enjoying nature.  We where using small muddlers and we caught some small marble trouts and cross breed in sizes up to 40 cm. We also caught a beautiful grayling app. 40cm. After 3 hours of fishing we decided to take a break, so we went back home to Klemen having some lunch.

It was getting cloudy in the afternoon, so we decided to fish for 1 or 2 hours more.  While we were driving to a small stream (Trebuščica) it started raining and i thought, perfect maybe we catch some good size marble. We where driving up along Trebuščica river for 30 minutes , to some hidden spots in the canyon. We did not take waders, we were just casting muddlers from the shore so we did not make any noice, no crossing, no walking into river. We just wanted to sneek up  as good as we can.

In the canyon Klemen said to me: »Try just to jig a muddler under a big rock«. So i was climbing up the rock and holding my rod. I dropped a muddler under the rock in a deep pool and jig it 2 or 3 times then I saw marble comming and it took a muddler very aggressive.  After a short fight we landed a marble app. 50cm in the net. It was a just perfect, pure nice looking marble trouts.  After taking a few photos we released a fish.

It was just perfect, we realy enjoyed that rainy afternoon fishing. I like fishing in rain while my aim is catching a marble trout.

So guys, season is opened. Welcome!
