I did fly fish but only for a few minutes this time - for trout … La Thur from Thann west up into the Ballon is great water - also I have had great days on the Doller near Masevaux. I believe Category 1 (trout) ends this weekend or next weekend (must check) but there are so many Category 2 spots that can be fished until December.
@@dbagzz La Thur is beautiful and has some Graylings! It is the best River in Alsace. I fish it in Thann usually, because it takes a lot of time to drive deeper in the Valley. The Doller is fine too but i never was there. It is on my Bucket list! The fishing in the première catégorie Rivers ends this Sunday but on my home River, la Fecht, i can fish on the deuxième catégorie part for Grayling deep in the winter😉
@icedaft I’ve caught lots of fish in both rivers - nothing super big but lots of 15-25cm brown trout. That being said I covered lots of water over multiple days in both rivers. These rivers are hit pretty hard during the Cat. 1 season, and it shows. There are a few 'fly only' stretches, but again, they are small and I have seen lots of fly guys on them at different times. It's definitely worth putting in the time though - beautiful part of the country, great fishing and fantastic food / gastronomie.
@icedaft I have fished on the Fecht but was only able to for an hour or so - would love to get back up there and fish for Grayling! That sounds like a fantastic time in the Autumn and early winter 👍
I'm from Alsace. Did you flyfishing there?
