For those Trout-ADDICTS here in Holland... The Eemhof Reservoir

Sometimes, a man may have that feeling... I WANNA CATCH TROUT!!!
Unfortunately, there are no streams in this polluted shit-country, where the noblest of all fish is to be caught, so i had to find an alternative..
Since a couple of years, a guy named Jan Vuysters is realising a real flyfisherman's tivoli park in the most boring part of Holland (Flevoland, normally a place where the old people roam in search of their favourite church!).
Although reservoir-fishing is normally not my thing, i always love to spend an hour or two at this underwater playground.
The reason for this is the fact that Jan didn't stop acting crazy when the reservoir was opened:-)
So now we are belessed with a pretty fancy and natural lake, in which real monsters roam!
The line-up says it all: Where in Holland can one catch enormous rainbow trouts (like in the 10 kilo category!), Salmon, Steelhead and some more obscure species?

To my own surprise, i have lately been very succesful with a dry fly (praise the lord!:-)))))), but for the REAL big ones a heavier rig with a streamer is required.

In the
picture gallery you'll find some pics of my friend Sander and me, with some nice rainbows we caught there.

If you are spending some days in Holland, this is a very good place to go for some "screaming reel" action!
