The fly fishing season has started!

After winter, only memories and some snow in the Tatra Mountains remained. The last days of ski season on Kasprowy Wierch is a sign that it’s time for fly fishing in Podhale area 😎 The first trips and the first trouts caught are behind us. During the first weekend of May Zakopane and the surrounding area are under a tourist siege – the best escape from this hustle and bustle is a trip to the river with a fishing rod under the supervision of a guide. Contact us and book your tour 😉

PS. We have not increased prices compared to the 2023 season to provide you an adventure for every budget 🙂

Bialka river

Bialka is the river in Malopolska province. Sources of the river are in Tatra mountains at an altitude of 1075 meters from the connection of two streams- Rybi Potok flowing from the Polish part of the Tatras and Biała Woda flowing from the Slovakian part of the Tatras.  In the upper part Białka flows in a northerly direction and it’s a border between Poland and Slovakia. At the end Białka flows into the Czorsztyn-Niedzica dam lake.  We can begin our fishing adventure with this river in the Jurgów village where the Jaworowy stream connects with Bialka, not far from the local ski resort (upstream of this place fishing is prohibited). It is the only river in Poland with an alpine character along its entire length. Is very rapid, with big rocks in the riverbed. Water is crystal clear and very cold all year. It’s a unique and wild river with amazing aesthetic values. The main species are brown trout but you can also catch ,,cold-blooded” graylings. Bialka river is a place you must visit while being in the Podhale region!

Dunajec special zone

Special sector (upper) at Dunajec river between Krościenko and Tylmanowa villages is a large river with large fishes. Sector’s leaseholder cares for regular restocking and monitoring of the river so every fisherman who will come here has a chance to catch life’s record fish. This part of the river is especially known for big trouts, graylings and danube salmons but also you can catch there barbels , chubs or nases. This fishery is a frequent destination of our fishing trips, mainly with experience fishermans who can expect unforgettable emotions. Probably the best polish river for nymph fishing!

The best time of year for fly fishing!

Autumn is undoubtedly a great time for fly fishermen and people who are considering learning this method. In October and November, the water temperature drops, which is a signal for fish that winter is coming and they need to eat. Our favorites at this time are graylings, which eagerly take small insects from the water surface. The dry fly time! By the way, you can observe brown trouts spawning but you have to move around the river so as not to disturb them. Our guides are happy to share their knowledge about the love habits of trouts 🙂

Apart from all the beautiful nature, fishing in autumn is very comfortable. There is no heat that can be so exhausting in summer. Autumn temperatures ranging from a few to a dozen or so degrees Celsius mean that we don’t feel hot in waders, but to prevent our feet from getting too cold, two pairs of thick socks are highly recommended!
