Short fall session with light equipment at the lake

My short report on an after-work tour with minimal equipment. The target fish was the rainbow trout. You can read here whether it worked out with a fish.

Capricious weather to start the season

In early spring, with the trout season just reopened, we headed to the Alte Dorfen. Despite sudden, challenging weather, we persevered, adjusting locations and tactics. Eventually, we found success landing a personal best brown trout, marking a promising start to the fishing season.

One Last Time Fishing for Pike Before the Closed Season

With the pike season closing soon, I spent a day off fishing at the Sempt flood channel. After a few casts, I landed a winter pike, 1.8 kg and 64 cm long, ending my short but successful fishing day with a satisfying catch.

Two hours on winter pike

The first fishing trip of 2024 was brief and uneventful, with no fish sighted or caught and surprisingly low water levels at Alte Dorfen. Despite the cold and strong wind, it was a useful opportunity to test new polarized glasses and some new lures.

Fishing during our stay in Ko Yao Yai & Ko Yao Noi, Thailand

To escape the cold and wet weather, we usually spend two weeks in November or December somewhere warm. This year, we chose Thailand, where we spent a weekend in Bangkok and then visited two islands near Phuket: Ko Yao Noi (to the north) and Ko Yao Yai (to the south).

Start of the trout season on the stream

After the end of the closed season, Andi and I went fishing for trout - with success!
