About the Czech republic:
As you can see on the map below, Czech
republic lies in central Europe between Germany, Poland, Slovakia and
Austria. Some of you remember the Czech republic and the Slovak republic
together
as
Czechoslovakia. Both countries agreed to separate in 1993. The Czech
republic is a member of the European Union since 2005. We still have our
own czech currency - the czech crown, CZK. The exchange rate is app. 1 EUR
= 28 CZK, 1 USD = 23 CZK. The capital is Prague, the best destination if
you want to fly. If you want to come by car, contact us and we'll
recommend the best route to the place of your holidays to you. The country
is pretty safe, problems are with theft only. Don't leave money,
passports, cameras, radios and other valuable things in your parked car or
without any supervision! The weather conditions are average, temperature
usualy variates between
-10 and 5 degrees Celsius during winter, 5
to 20 degrees during spring and autumn, 20 to 30 degrees in summer. All
services you may need are available at a comparable level as you are
accustomed to from western european countries.
Season:
According to the fishing rules you may fish from 16th April to 30th
November, but in some places even all year round. Cold spring months are
good for nymphing, summer months for evening dryfly fishing. October
,November and December are good for grayling fishing with nymphs and
small dry flies.
Places:
We
can devide the Czech republic into two parts: Bohemia (western part) and
Moravia (eastern part). Very nice and good flyfishing places in Bohemia
are in the south - Vltava river and Otava river (16th World Flyfishing
Chamionship rivers). Good flyfishing place in the north-west is the Ohre
river (downstream from the Nechranice dam). Also smaller rivers and
streams provide good flyfishing conditions - Mze and Strela rivers in
the west. Labe, Orlice, Chrudimka, Upa and Stenava rivers in the eastern
part of Bohemia. Good flyfishing conditions in Moravia you can find in
the south - Dyje river, Svratka and Svitava rivers. Smaller but very
beautiful places you can find in the north Moravian area - Moravice
river, Morava river, Branna river, Bela Jesenicka river. A more detailed
guide can be found in our Rivers & Lakes sections.
Fish species:
You
can fish mainly for brown trout and grayling, on some places also
rainbow trout, brook trout, chub, dace, barbel, perch, pike, pikeperch,
carp and danubian salmon.
