Trips Abroad
Czech Republic North Bohemia
Trips TBA in 2016/2017
May, June, September and October
Every year I have been running some trips to the Czech Republic to fish the fantastic Rivers in North Bohemia.
Situated about 1.5hrs drive north of Prague Airport in the Navarov Valley in stunning scenery, these rivers are full of fish.
Fishing for Grayling mostly but with a big head of Brown trout and some Rainbow and Brook trout, try your hand at the Grand Slam, one fish of each species in one day.
Fishing in beautiful clear rivers, the River Jizera and the Kamenice, you will fall in love with them and catching 20-30 fish per day is normal on most days.
Dry fly, French leader, wets, Duo-Trio and Streamers all work, but Dry fly and French Nymphing are my favourites.
Staying at the wonderful Pension Spalov dependant on the group size, you will be right by the banks of the river.
Catered for by the guys and girls in Spalov, you will get a cooked breakfast and continental every morning, a clean warm room and the river right next to you. A packed lunch is included and your all set to go.
At night you can tie flies or just relax with a cold bottle of beer a nice bottle of red wine or whatever tickles your fancy.
Average Bar Bill for a week including Bottles of water and Coke during the day is about €70 per person. Very Cheap
Sometimes I can arrange for my friend Martin Droz to come along to fish, hes not there as a guide but there as my friend fishing, but still would not stop you watching and asking questions as he is a multiple ex-world champion and IMO one of the very finest River anglers in the world. You can learn more form watching that trying yourself.
