TACTICS: There was some rain day before, and some small rain in the afternoon however water level did not raise . But the fishing was solid with some good dry fly activity during the afternoon. Small bwo’s were hatching and both small and big fish were rising to them. Even though nymph fishing was also productive , it was hard to resist to not fish with a dry since it was first solid activity since a long time on Ribnik . The river still have only few spots to fish so it was the best to arrive early to the good spot and wait for the hatch. Spot at “the forest” was our favorite . Since the water is really low and slow, thin tippet was mandatory so 7x or even 8x tippet , fished downstream. Emergers were also very productive when the fish became more selective. Overall solid day of fishing .
