First part of the summer was spent hunting down new trout rivers. I checked around 10 new streams. A couple showed some promise. Managed to land a couple decent trout and plenty of smaller ones. What was more magical is the places visited. All of them untouched to human footsteps, wild and raw. Wild pigs,...
Fishing small rivers. Small rivers are my favorite. Scout one, pack my gear and head off. This time decide on the Tenryu Lunakia LKT79M as my rod. After a 30min drive I am at the spot. If there are trout it will be a great place to head after work. If empty spent the...
A description of the Megabass Shoreluck XX SLX 74ULZ ZANGETSU Was interested in this rod since getting another model from the same Shoreluck series.

Magical trout river On the way A long way to the river threw never before explored regions. Driving threw winding roads I pass small towns, villages, fields with many cows. Every so often overtake heavy duty farming equipment. A stark contrast from the busy city streets I am used to. Sunny, but chilly the air...
Big river, big chub Big River Fishing a small river is straight forward. Every fallen tree, boulder, river loop, low hanging branch with shade is potential for a catch. An anglers imagination runs wild of what could lay beneath the water in such spots. When casting precision is more important than distance. Staying quite and...
Small trout, beautiful river The river Heading to my favorite river. It runs in a narrow valley with high, eroding cliffs. Its water is cold from abundant sources. A strong current creates plenty of loops and bends. Lots of fallen trees, make hideouts for trout, rocky steps for grayling. After a 70min drive I look...
