Carp Strobel - Austria

Carp Strobel (Austria)

By Stephan Dombaj
Feat.: Nikolai Prietl

The “real” Strobel is located in Andean Patagonia and famous for it´s giant amount of giant Rainbows – check this out > Gucci Of The Outdoors (2007). The Strobel-lake I am talking about is a former industrial two-lake system that underwent a development to a naturally reconstructed habitat that also holds a decent amount of species including some awesome gamefishes (Catfish, Carp, Pike, Zander, Perch and two Blackbass in the first one, wherein the second one holds some reeeeeeal good carps)

It turned out to be a hardly describable torture-track for rod and reel. Just the right thing to blast some cast towards some real carp giants.
