general information:

   * Fishing season generally runs from mid-march to end of september for trout.

   * Bernese fishing licence is required at the cost of SFr.26.-/day. It is not included in your guides day rate.

   * Most people prefer to fish dry flies - so do I... on a good day you may catch & release 30 trout on a dry. Best flies on faster flowing water      are high floating fairly bushy, size14-18, like Adams, Wulffs, caddis, bug or hopper imitations  For the bigger fish you will need some              weighted nymphs or streamers skillfully fished in the deep pools.

   * Best for most fishing situations is a 5-6 weight rod with floating line, for pike fishing 7-8wt. Sink tips for the deepest pools or lakes.                  Leaders knotted or tapered, from 3m for mountain trout streams, to 4.5m for picky fish.

   * In our mountaineous area the water levels and therefore fishing conditions are ruled by the weather. After heavy rains streams may                  become unfishable for days. Fortunately there is a few tailwaters in the area that always provide excellent fishing...

   * Stillwater fishing is possible for groups up to 6 people, on streams I prefer to have only one, maximum two guests (friends or couples only     discount for the second person).

   * I am not a meat fisherman, but unfortunately Switzerland just outlawed systematic catch and release (!!!!!!). For the future of our waters - we still do not fill our bags....    ;-)

   * You need not to be a professional flycaster, but basic casting abilities are required for the Wilderness Trip. If you are a beginner you may        want to book a Introduction Day first.
