This was probably the most beautiful browntrout of my first trip to Laxa Laxardalur in northern Iceland. Unfortunately, the conditions this week where tough. Heavy rain and wind and temperatures between 5° and 7° Celsius.
The mystique Doubs river in the Swiss Jura is famous for its endemic zebra trout. For years, I haven’t managed to catch one of the super clever and spooky fish. It wasn’t until a friend from France, who prefers to stay anonymous, introduced me to some secrets I didn’t knew.
They say, the big, predatory trout are lurking in the dark, waiting in their hiding spots, until the time is right to strike. So, grab your head light and hit the waters? Well, not quite..
