This morning I got lucky while fly fishing for Huchen. I had the chance to catch this magnificent Huchen in the river Isar in Ismaning near Munich.

The season comes slowly to an end and not too many Huchen were caught this season in the club waters in and around Munich.

I was using my Scott S4 6-weight with 3X tippet and happened to land this 1,10m and 10.0kg Northern Pike.

I had to fight the fish for more than 20 minutes and during the fight I had to jump into the Isar near Munich in order to get the Pike out of a snag it swam into. Luckily I could land it with my BogaGrip. As it happens with all big fish, you don’t have a camera with you. So I had to call a friend to take that picture. Sadly the then dead fish lost its color, so I turned the picture B/W. Under normal circumstances I would have returned that fish, but under Bavarian fisheries law I have to kill any pike I catch in a catchment with self-sustaining trout population.
