This spring is a birthday of new fly fishing festival and championship in Latvia. Few years ago few enthusiasts from organization “Mes Zivim” started to stock grayling, trout and rainbows  in the river Ogre with the aim to establish licensed fishing for these species in long term perspective. Lets say, sustainable development. Now river has its own grayling population and pretty good chance to land some big one too. To help organization continue efforts in this river and also to promote this scenic part of Ogre, at the May 16, fly fishing championship and festival, will be held at Mengene.

Rules are as always – one rod with maximum two fly`s and of course barbless hooks are the  must for anyone who are out in the river. Also you must have a landing net and general state licenze – so called Makskeresanas karte. I hope organisators will provide it. To be honest we can expect some spin fishermen also at that time in the river, but they will fish in different parts, and hopefully will not disturb our activity`s. Usually there are nice persons, and just a few steps away from fly fishing.

Prices for participants are aprox 10 Euro for guests and 30 Euro for participants. During the day, there will be  casting pool as well as casting clinics from me, Egils and Guntars.  For more information call V. Rozentāls  +371 29159593 .  I hope i will see some friends from Lithuania and Estonia – Ogre is worth to see at that time, and you can come with the family if you like.

See you there and any questions are welcome!
