Beautiful grayling from river Drina.



I've meet few bulgarian flyfishermen beside this river!

Hi Mixmaster,
Really beautiful grayling. Congratulations

Regards,
Angel

Chub 1.6 kg, caught on a dry fly on the river Toplica near Niš:

Hello Mixmaster,

It’s a great chub!!! Not just the size, but also the colors.
Seems you catch it on the famous balsa Serbian beetle. Isn’t it?

Regards

Angel

Yes, "famous serbian balsa (or polyurethane) beetle" called Bambula, is my creation. That chub (and few thousands more ) was taken on black bambula #10.

It’s a great Chub (ova se zove klen!). Congratulations! I wish you good luck and the next time we are waiting for the grandfather of the shown Chub.

Best regards!

Hello Mixmaster,

Congratulations for the creation of this effective fly.
I have few in my box and sometimes I’m tying it on my line. Usually, it is attracting the fishes and provoking their attacks even if they are not very active, but although rarely has opposite effect – as it scares them.
But I have not enough experience with the fly to comment in details, so could you please share your observations at what of conditions the Bambula is most effective.
Or it is always working well with you!

Bambula (and similar flies) is most effective throughout the summer, but not during colder period of autumn or early spring, when chub usually become focused on tiny aquatic insects. Then, switch to Olives and Midges and forget about beating water surface and making sounds, that chub loves so much during summer.

I had in mind approximately equal conditions.
However, river by river, day by day are different, and sometimes is not good to look for explanations but just to experiment in order to find the solution.

Could you please show us any others of your creations?

This is one of my favorites for autumn:




Blue Poly-Winged Olive in sizes 14 & 16

Thank you for sharing! A marvellous fish! It seems you didn’t use a very small fly /16, 18/ to catch the trophy grayling? Is it CDC caddis?

I’ve been to Drina last summer and I loved the river!

Hi Tazz,
This is a "Hot Butt CDC Caddis", #12 or 10. Don't use small flies for Drina's grayling during may and june.
