Stonefly fishing is a new experience to me and I was waiting for a long time to get there.Vacation from work, no stress, nice friends and of course, good fishing! =)
Trip begins..
First target was Äyskoski with Teemu "Simms" Väänänen!
My first fly-fishing trip ever was with my good friend Johan to Äyskoski.
And what a trip it was!! I got my first fly fish and Johan got many fine trout's and a big grayling with a dry fly.
Here is some 'black & white' memories for the trip:
And here is some new pictures from Äyskoski:

Our journey continued to Läsäkoski.
This river was a wonderful place to fish with dries. Unfortunately, we were not lucky!
The water level was low and the weather cloudy and cold. No rising fish..
Nevertheless, visiting stars Jussi.R & Teemu.A managed to catch one trout each.
