On October 30, 2023, I went to the storkreservoir in Seltz, where I met my friend André for the pleasure of a day of fishing. The weather was gray all day, with a fresh N/E wind rippling the surface. Given the weather conditions (east wind, atmospheric pressure dropping suddenly) and the lack of trout activity, we alternated streamer fishing and knitted nymph fishing, dry fishing being excluded given the lack of surface activity.
By using an intermediate line and knitting my flies, alternating models and colors, I finally managed to hit five trout defending themselves ardently. The flies that got me the bites were the targeted “reservoir” nymphs and wets from the C.B.F– Kollection: HNC-1, DBR and CRF-1.
The discussions between us and a friendly German fisherman we met at the water’s edge and at the club house which sheltered us for a delicious warm picnic contributed to making us appreciate this autumn outing to the Seltz reservoir, where the rain arrived in force at 4 p.m.
