My name is Łukasz Ostafin. I’m 33. I grow up and live at Raba river. Here I caught my very first fishes. My master was, much regretted Antoni Tondera. He showned me the secrets of “fly” method and “infected” with sport competition. I spend every moment , most of my life, with my rod fishing trouts and graylings. I love to discover new fisheries and observe the nature. I wore down many pars of wodders, when I was paddling in Raba, Dunajec or San Rivers.I am familiar with Poprad, Białka, Skawa, Wisla or many more rivers of South Poland. I am also familiar with trout rivers of Pomorze. I used “fly” method with my expedition to Scandinavia, into Pyrenees, Slovenia and New Zeland.I am good at catching with “fly”method on stagnant water. On of my fishing passion is catching and releasing individuals.To outwit careful trout gave me lots od satisfaction. My biggest trout from Raba river had 63 cm, grayling from Dunajec had 52 cm, and for my biggest rainbow (77 cm) I went to New Zeland.
My biggest sport successes are: the champion title and individual vice Europe champion gained on San River in 2005., silver medal(individually) golden medal (team) in “Fly” Method Championship in Polnad on Dunajec river in 2008. Since my adventure with”fly” method my second passion became making articial flies. Separate biding let me worked on effective samples on various fisheries.
My baits were appreciated by the National Poland Team , they have been using my baits for almost 10 years. Since 1998 I started to participate in many international competitions as constructor. If you have doubts that in our mounatn’s river are beautiful fishes , if the ” fly” method is not always effective , if you haven’t been satisfied in good company for a long time, or just drem to discover Dunajec or Mszanka for your owne, join me on the river. I will show you places, that you have only heard of. I will open secret box with flies. I will show you how to catch the smartest grayling. You can always count on my knowledge and experience.

Our guide fisheries
Dunajec and Poprad Rivers (Hucho Hucho - Danube)
WELCOME to catch Hucho Hucho (Danube) at our best fishing grounds - the river Dunajec and Poprad. Our guides specialize in fishing for this species for many years. We invite you to journey with both spinning and fly fishing. Our guides will take you to the best places where you are sure there is a great chance to catch a large Hucho Hucho (Danube).
Hucho hucho “has a slender body that is nearly round in cross-section. Its head is big, slightly flat with wide mouth reaching out of the end of the eye. The huchen’s fat fin is big while the remaining fins are relatively small. Its tail fin is clearly corrugated. Its hulls are very tiny. Its back is brownish or greenish grey, its sides are lighter with copper shine, the belly is white. On the sides, there are numerous, irregular, small, dark patches. This largest permanent fresh water salmonid is on average 5-10 kg at a length of 80-100 cm. 15-year-long species may reach 150cm and weigh 52kg. The heaviest huchen ever caught was 60 kg at a length of 183 cm” – this is what Wikipedia will tell you.
The rest are emotions, the dream of many spinning anglers. You may discuss the victories (more often defeats), baits, techniques, and even the most hidden fisheries for many days. Feel invited to come over two rivers where these copper monsters live. Both Poprad and Dunajec are shallow waters with up to 2m of depth. The pull force depends on the level of the river to a big extent. This means one thing: problems with the right choice of bait. With shallow waters, shallow but relatively lively baits are good. When the water raises by 0.5m only, you have to apply stream baits which are not so lively. Other baits? Of course but the number of torn sets will quickly make you come back to wobblers.

Dunajec River (Brown Trout, Grayling, Hucho Hucho - Danube)
Dunajec is the largest and one of the most beautiful rivers of southern Poland. Particularly worthy of note is the section of the river from the river Krośnica to river Ochotnica. Dunajec flows there a narrow valley surrounded by mountains covered with mixed forest. This has its own unique charm. Especially in autumn, when the slopes of the Gorce claim to all shades of green, red and yellow.
The nature of the river in this section is very diverse. Here are the natural rock sills, gusty rapids, fast and deep trough over five feet framed boulders, deep pits several meters wide with a quiet stream called here the “Bania” and the rocky foreground with varying depth. We can count on the fish all over the place.
Frequently fly fishing anglers catch brown trout and grayling here. There are special sections of “catch and release“. Trout caught here are generally from 30 to 45 cm. But you can catch brown trouts longer than 60 cm. Grayling comes from year to year. Already, we can meet the “cardinal“ with a length of over 45 cm. The most effective method of fishing for the day is a nymph and dry fly in the evenings.
Queens of deep pits and large peaceful Danube salmon. Due to the size and depth of the river it is advisable to use a high waders with non-slip soles. Dunajec river is great for anyone who wants to deal with overgrown trout or grayling, and maybe even hunt with fly fishing on Hucho Hucho (Danube). Welcome!

Small Vistula River (Brown Trout, Grayling)
The fishery was founded in 2005. Since the very beginning, its host has focused on stocking and water protection. In the very first days, he launched a full-time fishing guards fighting against poachers, so common a problem on Polish waters. Thanks to these measures, today one may count on frequent fish catch in the Small Vistula, while coming across a fat brown trout is nothing special. The Vistula is one of the rivers exceeding the national average as far as its fish count is concerned.
The fishery is about 30 km long so there are plenty of interesting places along its banks. Shoots are typical in the Vistula. The best period for trips to the river is the end of winter and spring. In this time, with higher waters, it is easier to mislead the brown trout.
In late spring and summer, the water level is low, which makes it more difficult (but not totally impossible) to catch the trout. An additional disadvantage of warm seasons over the Vistula are bathing people who startle careful fish. If you want to try fly fishing and catch the brave brown trout, this is one of the best places in Poland.

Raba River (Brown Trout, Grayling)
On the section Dobczyce – Gdow , Raba River, is interesting and full of fishes, fishery with “ Catch and Realise”. The host of it is PZW Krakow District. This medium size river vividly flows among hills. Riversides are overgrow with trees and clusters of wattle. The bottom is mainly rocky but there are some places full of gravel. Narrowness is possible to happen. Under the riverbanks quick streams are washing away deeper to 1,5 meters gutters, turns from the one bank to the other.
Because the fishery is situated directly to the dam in Dobczyce, the water is all year cold and full of oxygen. That creates very good conditions for trouts and graylings. At the moment, the dominate species is brown trout. That is way this section is full of brown trouts. Mainly you can catch 30-45 centimeters long trouts. But you should be prepared to meet much longer individuals, even over half of the meter.
