The Fishing - Season - Guides and Tuition - Equipment - Typical Itinereary

Please use this as a checklist of gear to bring with you to the San.hardy rod and reel
As Hardy Greys Academy partner we have Hardy/Greys rods and reels for our guests to try or use during your stay.

Fly rods
#4 - #6 will do in most cases. If you want to focus on the Danube Salmon (Huchen, Taimen) – 7-9 weight is recommended.
Fly reels
To suit your rod and handle fly line and at least 50 meters of backing (In case you hit a Taimen or huge trout - it happens!)
Fly Lines
We use floating lines 80% of the time. Dull in colour if possible. Sink Tip lines are needed for early season, and other periods with high water and stronger flows.equipment for san river fishing
Leader
The later in the season we are - the longer it gets. My personal experience is 4' - 5' single piece 0.30 mm leader for streamers in spring, 9' tapered till July, 12' - 15' tapered in autumn.
Tippet
In early and mid season – 0.30 mm for streamers and 0.16 mm for dry and nymph fishing down to 0.08 mm for late autumn graylings on dry.
Fishing vest
With clippers, forceps, knotless landing net (obligatory)
Flies
All flies must be tied on barbless hooks (or crushed barb). You risk being banned from the fishing if wardens find you fishing with barbed hooks!!
We can supply all kind of flies for your stay.
Waders
Chest waders, neoprene (misadvised for the summer fishing) or Gore-Tex, bootfoot or stockingfoot with wadding shoes, not necessarily felted (but preferable)
Others
Good quality polarized sun or prescription glasses, woollen socks, wide brimmed hat or baseball cap, windproof pullover/fleece and a good quality rain jacket – a dull colour is best.

If you happen to forget something we will pay a visit to our friend’s fishing tackle shop, which is in the nearest town. I’m sure we will find there what you need.(and this is a real fun trip)
