For Baltic tribes swastika was sun and thunder gods sign. Swastika – one of the most frequently repeated Lithuanian folk art motifs. They were on statues, furniture, chests and even eastern eggs. Dynamics of the swastika describes it’s Lithuanian name “sūkurėlis” (vortex).

In Lithuania for many centuries, swastika was used by noble families in their blazons. In our neighbor country Latvia city of Liepaja, two meters in diameter swastika carved on a monument for Latvia’s independence struggle in 1919-1922

This photo and bug was made by our new member – Davis aka Gyvulys (The Beast), hope gods of sun and thunder will bring him some nice chubies on this bug!

Chub Bum

// May 26th, 2010 // 3 Comments » // Me haz skills, bugs'n'shit, news from deaddriftistan

So here are pics from our chub bum. This was one of the best fishing of this season. A little bit pitty that the weather was cold and windy, but we still caught some fish. What is more, we thought we will see mayflies everywhere, but they had already hatched week before during those hot and humid days. All in all, this was great fishing session and we saw lots of interesting stuff.

Bub has risen

DAY ONE

Justas caught huge chub.. About 44 cm.. Caught, pictured and released.

Then it was my turn. Ide has eaten my bug!

It could have been better if not these carnivores, who ate all mayflies!!!

DAY TWO

The morning was such a swiz as the weather has turned upside down and it was a little chance to see any fish rising. So we didn’t hurry anywhere. Did some house work and had a great meal.

And then it was the first time I saw Justas such happy. This was monster chub. Look at his dark colors! Amazing!

And then me in action. Smaller one but I am happy as a hell!!

So this was our short trip to chubbyland. Hope we will not have to wait getting there again whole year.. See ya, folks.

TRACTOOOOOOR!!!

Heavy metal is always and everywhere with us. This weekend we visited Ausktaitija again for chub fishing. Unfortunately water level is still too high and fish does not rise. We managed to catch few of them, but it is not that buggy time, wen you can catch a lot of huge chubs on a bug. However, it was very exciting fishing and we are looking forward to returnig there in a few weeks time. By the way, we did some farm work wile singing this song. Enjoy!

TRACTOOOOOR!!!

Cows go moo and they poo!!!

If he could talk he would say “What?! What would you do if you were bound to a cow house all the time and didn’t have a girlfriend?!”

This river was a virgin in fly fishing. It is not now.

Can’t wait for grayling season opening. It’s only one month left!! Every day there is more and more bugs hatching and fish are rising. Very soon we will be chasing after those huge dorsal fins! So look at some pics from our preparations for a new dry fly season.
