Bulgaria
Lake Iskar. At 16km long this is one of the biggest man made lakes in Bulgaria. For those who prefer to fish in colder waters, guided expeditions to fish in the lakes high up in the mountains should be made by arrangement with your local tour guide.
Within Bulgarian lakes and rivers there is excellent trout fishing, along with pike, carp and bream. Most of these fish are over 2kg and can be eaten or returned to the water. There are lots of other small fish species that can be caught for fun or food.

Spain
There is a very nice choice of fly fishing opportunities in Spain. The best rivers are found in the mountains like the Pyrenees of Navarre, Aragon & Catalonia, or the "Picos de Europa" in Asturias. We can also help for the famous wine region of La Rioja. These areas are very wild with a rich fauna and wonderful rivers. Migratory seatrout and salmon are present at some of them. Some of the places are quite secluded but the food is gorgeous and although it is the coolest part of this country, people are adorably warm. Visit the site below for further information

France
Club Fish France was founded in 2002 by Arkadi de Rakoff, an experienced, well traveled fly angler and a regular photo journalist, contributing to UK fly fishing magazines. In a former life as a film producer, Arkadi gathered a wealth of experience in creating complex field trips on a global basis. It’s this expertise – along with with his passion for fly fishing travel – that is a key component of the company’s organisational success.
The company was originated to cater for a much neglected corner of the UK market – accessible and affordable holidays for the ‘family fisherman’ in France. But it soon became evident that European fly fishing holidays in general were grossly under represented in the global market – encouragement enough to extend the company’s original brief

Germany
The Black Forest is one of the most scenic regions of Germany. One of the favorite destinations for a perfect nature break. The region is located near the French border roughly at the level of Strasbourg. The place we recommend needs around 1 hour drive from Strasbourg. If trout & grayling fishing on the local rivers is really pleasant, the spot is also recommended to anglers willing to truly offer a wonderful holiday to their wives. We operate this region from a luxury hotel featuring 3 gourmet restaurants -and the world's most impressive breakfast and high tea buffet- spas and a sea water swimming pool with waves, beauty, health and relaxing programs, guided forest walks and many other activities or sports such as golf, tennis, or horse riding.

Offshore Flyfishing
This is a very challenging aspect of flyfishing and if you are looking for a serious fish this is the place to go. We fish areas like False Bay , Cape Point and Robben Island for Yellowtail and the very aggressive Cape Snoek. The brave venture further offshore to fish the warm currents that sweep past our coast in search of the mighty Yellowfin and Longfin Tuna . A common problem that we encounter out in the deep is that the fish are simply too big to handle on fly , but if it is a record fish that you are looking for come and try these tacklebusters for size. For the smaller fish a ten to twelve weight rod combined with a reel that holds 200m of backing will do.
The Tuna however deserves a lot more respect and nothing less than a fourteen weight combined with a really good reel that holds at least 600m of backing will do. Seasons vary from one year to the next , but as a rule all the above species are caught in summer . Cape Snoek however peak during the cold winter months.
