Hello from Zurich

#1

Post by Mötti »

Dear all
I am an allround fisherman with a heart beating for old tackle. All I own of this is swiss and british (and two semi old Billy Pate Trout). My flyrods are build by Fritz Schreck and Chapman of Ware. At the moment I am much interested in silk line restauration.
Kind Regards
Mötti

Super and welcome aboard. Where do you do most of your trout fishing?

Hello Mötti,

There is some information available on silk line refinishing by overmywaders, which many here have used successfully. Welcome to the forum.

Cheers,
Joe

Welcome! I was recently in Zurich. Enjoyed it very much. I saw many streams in that area that should be fun for fishing.

Thank you for the warm replies. I will fish for trouts in lake Zurich with streamer, in river Sihl when I can find there and if it goes how I like in the highlands of Bern. We have several promlems with trouts in Switzerland. Illnes, funghi, clima change, chemicals from the farmers and last but not least the wrong low. Kanton Graubünden will as first of all initiate strong catching windows next year. C&R is not allowed in Switzerland. It's only allowed to fish. Winners are chubb and catfish. Loosers are trout and greyling.
Kind Regards
Mötti

Mötti, Welcome!
How is the fishing in the Limmat River flowing out of Lake Zurich?

Welcome from Holland!

No C&R allowed? Is there a bag limit?

Well, there's always the option of fishing with TAG hooks, as promoted by John Betts, to ensure LDRs...
