3 trout Embarking on a scouting expedition, I set my sights on a river nestled approximately 70 kilometers from Vilniaus, near the border of Belarus. But, before immersing myself in the wilderness, I had to navigate the world of permissions and bureaucracy to gain access to the border zone. A tedious affair, no doubt,...
First spring trips Not the first outing this season, but the weather's been unruly, putting my fishing plans on hold. Finally, spring has graced Lithuania with its radiant sunshine, prompting me to start mapping out regular trips. I pick up where I left off last season, heading to a familiar spot. Upon arrival, I...
Trout Fishing and BBQ Was away from trout fishing for a solid month. A month too long, but other matters sometimes trump fishing. Choose a river which has been visited with decent results. Why not try again. It is not far from Vilnius. In Lithuania autumn is upon us. I head out as the...

Back to trout Second to last weekend before the trout fishing season is over. With a friend we agree to try our luck in a river I have fished, but did not have any results. Day of the trip the weather was dull and rainy. Still we decide to go. About an hours drive...
CHUBBING We are dropped of at the starting spot. The trip is a long time in the making. 25km down our childhood river, where we spent hours taking our first steps as anglers. Our main target is chub to be more precise we have a goal to catch at least one in the 50cm...
