Mission Accomplished!

I could very possibly outdo myself in the “Monsoon Currier” department this week.  It bloody rained hard all yesterday.  And at dark when I was working that big hybrid the rain got heavier.  Then during the night it rained even harder.  This morning it’s raining like it does in the Amazon!  But this is Europe! … Read more

A Day to Remember in Former Yugoslavia

Vladi and I must have been more tired than we thought.  We didn’t move unit 8 AM.  Sure, my body hasn’t adjusted to the 8 hour time change, but Vladi, he’s normally an early riser.  Once up the folks that own this B & B, Pri Jezbecu, made us a delicious breakfast then I went … Read more

Phenomenal Trip Comes to an End

Day 5 – Mahseer on a Dry Fly

  One memorable night on my 2008 trip to the Ramganga River in India we experienced a caddis hatch.  Misty Dhillon advised I keep a sharp eye for rising golden mahseer as I was chucking sculpin patterns for big mahseer.  He told me that if the rising started than to grab my 6-weight and enjoy a rare … Read more
