How the skilled Fly rod handles a Hucho of 115cm! BIG CANNONS Shouting again on the Sava Bohinjka this morning!!!
What looked like a classic - hard clear water chasing for the spooky Huchos - was not that at all! Regardless the low and clear water which usualy makes Hucho-hucho become very careful - even shy, this morning some thing was in the air - or should we say in the water!? Fish was nervous and we saw them cruising up and down the rocky bank of the Sava Bohinjka. They did not really want to move to the mids of the river to expose them self..

The camera maybe missed only 15sec after the hook was set - it was early enough to caught so called 1st volcano that angry Huchos do by hitting the surface, trying to get rid of the hook! Luckily AL mastered the fight to perfection and the King finally surrended.. but it was a long fight as you will see.. Those muscles did not want to give up at all!
