Few posts from few days back

8 Jun 00:11 - Matt Rich: Hi All, we just got home after a very long day on the water. As if this place could get any better, the fishing is off the chart too! We fished Ribnik today and caught mutiple browns of around 1kg, plenty grayling and a rainbow or two for good measure. I got one Grayling of 45cm as well, absolute tank! Came up and inhaled a dry!!!! Pics are on the other camera unfortunately.





8 Jun 10:39 - Matt Rich: We went to the smalest tackle store in the world yesterday. It is a small wooden Wendy house with one guy sitting in the corner tying the most amazing flies! Ill post some pics tonight when I can charge my laptop.

8 Jun 10:40 - Matt Rich: 1 Euro a fly. Rich emptied his piggy bank

I don't know what to say, the World become too small and upside down ...SA FF team come to "my" waters to fish, while I am fishing here in SA on "their" ,SA waters ....

The guy in that small shop near the Ribnik bridge is tying flies for that day ,actually he predict hatch for tomorrow, and tie exact pattern (exact hatch match) !The unique Fly Shop !

(btw, use 7x tippets minimum ....5x is considered as a thick rope on Bosnian Rivers...)

I will fish Bosnia in July , leave some fish for me ,please

Good luck guys , have a nice time and enjoy Bosnia Rivers ....

Hi Guys,

From Yesterday, the fish/ing pics Matt took from pics on his camera, so not too clear.







9 Jun 20:58 - Matt Rich: Hi all, we fished Una today and had a tough day but with a steep learning curve. Our guide Amir Alajec was superb and really explained and demonstrated the Bosnian nymphing well (which turned out to be pretty challenging). We have just got off the water now and are racing home to try and get to dinner before it closes at 11pm. Looking forward another cow patty 😐 After that, its straight so bed for an early wake up to do it all over again. Dan and I are with the new guide, Zlatko, on the stillwater and the rest are heading back to Ribnik and Sana to hammer the Greyling.
9 Jun 21:00 - Matt Rich: All the pics are on my camera and non of us have an adapter to charge my laptop 😔. Well start posting them when Craig arrives tomorrow.
