Upper And Lower Gail River


Upper And Lower Gail River - Flyfishing Guerilla
by Stephan Dombaj

Damnit, I mean every flyfisher knows that he´s a member of "sexy men in waders" or at least of "The fish catching motherfuckers". But apperantly we are the only ones who know about flyfishing´s sexappeal! Why is flyfishing so damnit unsexy? The following short dialog between a girl and a randome flyfisher - let´s call him Stephan - is a irrepresable evidence that we have to get sexy again.

G: So, what do you do for a living?
S: I´m a professional flyfisher...
G: hahaha, are you serious?! Why? (Here I got interrupted and b!tchslapped)
S: Well, if we boil it down the very essence of my decision, it´s quite easy: Considering the two f-things I´m good at, I had to decide between Pornstar and Flyfisher. So... Pornstar is just not prestigious enough...that´s why I´m a Flyfisher...
G: Honestly?
S: No, I´m a liar, I suck at flyfishing - (hahaha owned - b!tchslapping the other way around)

Honestly, Flyfishing should be blessed with a Marlboro-Cowboy-Chuck-Norris-Roundhouse-Kick Image! And it´s up to us to convey this message. Instead of saying: Sometimes I get a tiny fish that rose on my fly which is made of bleeched feathers of a duck´s ass. - Stop! WAY TO UNSEXY!- We should be saying: "We are modern guerilla-fighters who take revenge for every helpless tiny insect that found it´s poor destiny between blood-dipping jaws of evil monster trouts!" AH, good-one!

That´s the basement for the Flyfishing-Guerilla -Movement. Flyfishing-Tactical-Forces who are aiming for the top of the edge.

Pathless landscape, densely wooded shorestructure, freaking cold and rapidly flowing glacierwaters or in one word: Gail river nearby the Italian border, located in Kötschach Mauthen. Take a minute or two to enjoy this footages we took on AOS-Casting Clinic. Eventhough we had just a few hours of client-free-fishing, Paulo and I slammed nearly 100 Graylings down... not so bad! A client who never fished before got 42 Graylings on his first day of flyfishing - guided Flyfishing like it should be!
