Lets be honest with that point: fishing has a dusty image among the youngsters. Carp fishing, pole fishing, fly fishing, it’s all the same business: getting bored for hours cut off from social media and far away from the city.
I never understood why fishing was suffering from such a poor image… Fortunately among all the different kinds of fishing available, fly fishing really is an adrenaline enhancer.
Speaking about my passion for fly fishing, I would say that I’ve always seen fly fishing as a powerful way to travel and to discover stunning river landscapes where big fish await.
Here are three of my best experiences of high adrenaline fly fishing…
Down the canyon…
The most extreme sensations I had on a fly fishing trip were when I explored the Tara river canyon in Montenegro. This canyon is the second deepest canyon in the world behind the Colorado Grand Canyon… We finally found an access in the depth of the canyon to fish amazing crystal clear waters where we found massive grayling…
Exploring the steppe…
Mongolia is one of the most breathtaking place I have seen on earth. Years ago, we made an expedition with friends to explore a river in a wild valley. We had to cross dangerous passes to finally reach a lost valley full of big enok trout. Slidin’ from lake to lake…
Another “extreme” fly fishing experience was to fish the Swedish altitude lakes in Lapland. The arctic char I caught in these lakes were stunning…
The best way to move from lake to lake was simply to climb the hill, to fish and then to slide to another lake on the frozen slopes…
