British Columbia vacation in 2010, Wolfgang Fabisch

We were four people on the Canada vacation 2010. The Bulkley River was our main fly fishing destination for Steelhead. We met some fly fishermen from Germany on site. Despite great fluctuations in terms of success, this goal is still recommended.

Fly fishing in fantastic surroundings

Picture of the week, Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 42 - 2020 

The fact that South Tyrol has fantastic regions and nature is well known. Also that there are many waters for fly fishing, but you have to find them first! But then you can expect incredible fly fishing.

... almost impossible to reach if you haven't already flown there in March

Those who did not fly to North America in March or earlier had practically no opportunity to come to Canada or the USA during the rest of the year.

 

No steelhead and no gold in Canada Fall 2020

Corona is nailing the world. A lot of plans from all areas cannot be realized, you get the impression that everything is a bit quiet. Let's hope that trips abroad will soon be possible again.

 

 

 

A little more about Berchtesgaden, with Wolfgang Fabisch

Picture of the week, Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 29 -  2020

From 2021 I will offer again fly fishing courses in Berchtesgaden. There will be two different course variants. Four days for starters with little or no knowledge, three days for advanced learners.

The gold bead nymph, almost a myth? I think so!

Some information about the nymph, here the gold bead nymph.

The nymph has been fishing for a long time. At that time, the separation between nymph and wet fly was rather blurred! The nymph with head, this one at the beginning made of brass, is about 30 years old! Learn more about the nymph with a head.

Our junior anglers, here one with a nice pike

Our young fishermen are active in all areas of fishing. It is particularly gratifying when this activity is rewarded with particularly beautiful catches, like with this pike. For others, this may be an incentive.

Even in this time there are still positive experiences

Fortunately, even in complicated times like now, there are positive experiences. This certainly includes catching such a beautiful brown trout. I wish you all patience and positive experiences.

The Pegnitz, a karst river in Franconia

The Pegnitz in Franconia is a karst river in Franconia. Not as well known as the Wiesent, it has an absolutely equivalent Mayfly hatch!

Fabisch body thread for fly tying in many colors

From now I have increased the proportion of UV  body threads from four to fourteen.

Have fun while tying flies, Wolfgang

Somehow somewhat unreal ... when fly fishing

Picture of the week, Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 15 -  2020

The way to the fish water, here to the Wiesent river, seems very unreal. Nature simply continues to function, probably better without us than with us.

Still a happy Easter for everyone.

A very special cast with the fly rod

The goal is to reach the other side with very little back space.

Fly fishing in corona times?

Picture of the week, Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 12 -  2020

As long as the possibility exists, everyone must answer that for themselves. If the relevant regulations of the state prohibit this, you should stick to it 100%.    
Good luck and stays healthy.

50 years of fly fishing, Wolfgang Fabisch

50 years ago  I took a fly rod in my hand for the first time. My father and I fished at the same time on the Diemel river under the guidance of an American. I was 12 years old at that time and fly fishing soon became the only type of fishing I indulged in.
I also celebrate another event in 2020, namely 30 years of Steelhead fly fishing in Canada on Vancouver Island.

First time in BC - Canada, 1990

Kind regards, Wolfgang Fabisch

A dream of a city for many, Vancouver

Picture of the week, Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 08 -  2020

The flight from Frankfurt to Vancouver takes almost 10 hours, depending on the time of year it is a little more expensive or cheaper. You pick up the rental car at the airport and the adventure begins. Everyone decides for himself whether the time is spent in Vancouver, in the nearer or further area. It will definitely be an experience.

In the spring, the rivers in BC have heavy floods

Picture of the week, Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 07 -  2020

If you see the rivers in BC / Canada in spring, you can be frightened! Fishing is not feasible, but is not as bad as most sea-migrating species are not yet in the river. Here the Bulkley River

Fly fishing in a gigantic nature in Alberta, Canada

Instagram photo number three from Fabisch fly fishing

Here I am on the Athabasca River, not far from the city of Jasper in Alberta, Canada. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to fish as I still had a date with the Bow River near Calgary. But it was enough for a few rainbow trout. 

The nature around Jasper is just breathtaking like in many other places. If you have the opportunity, just have a look there.

Angling or fly fishing, is there a difference?

How elite is fly fishing still?

Actually, angling is the term that combines almost all possible variations of non-commercial fishing. Fly fishing is only a very small part compared to other types of fishing.

It's not nice to get caught early in the morning. This place is just 20 meters away from the Bulkley River near the town of Smithers.

Fly fishing on the Doubs

Fly fishing on the Doubs is certainly not easy, but it is one of the rivers that should be visited. However, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the local rules beforehand.

It doesn't always has to be a big fish ...
