Fishing in southern Poland

The San flows through heavily-wooded country, damned where it flows out of the National Park at two large lakes and then drops in a powerful, 100m-wide swathe through forest and meadowland, and through the market towns of Lesko, Zagorz, Sanok and Dobra. You can wade this fabulous water, from bank to bank, among colossal shoals of grayling and blizzard hatches of ephemerids that simply take the breath away. Of all the fishing we have experienced in Europe and beyond there has been nothing to compare with the San during an ephemerid emergence.

We organize visits for individuals, families or groups to the San and have available the best fly fishing guides in Poland, including Polish National team members, all orchestrated by our top guide, who looks after absolutely everything, finally delivering us to wherever we want to be on the river, allowing us to fish without concern for what happens after. Because on the San, you need to realize that whatever has happened before, nothing is likely to measure up to this.

For those of us lucky and old enough to have fished some exotic locations for trout and grayling, the San is deliverance. It is where you have dreamt about, why you took up fly fishing, where you have journeyed towards and never really believed you would arrive. Well, here is journey's end. You cannot go beyond, not in this life...

We assure anything and everything during your stay: English, French and German speaking crew including fishing guides and the lodge service, full board accommodation in different standards, transport, lots of non fishing activities. If something is not listed it means we can assure that as well!

Katowice (Kattowitz) is the capital of Upper Silesia has about 322 000 inhabitants. The Silesia region is most known for its coal mines and steel plants. Here we shall also find interesting passages accompanied by numerous shops, galleries, fashion stores thickly filling ground floors, first floors and even the yards of old tenements. A characteristic feature of the market-place is the edifice of Stanisław Wyspiański Theatre of 1907 known for many interesting performances, receiving also theatres from many European countries. It is worth visiting the collection of the Silesian Museum in a building of 1899 with a precious collection of Polish painting and frequently changed temporary expositions. Let us have a look at broad Korfanty Alley at which big warehouses and hotels are situated. Its perspective closes with the so-called Spodek (Saucer) the Provincial Show and Sports Hall.

Cracow- an ancient magic city.
Cracow offers a wide spectrum of museums, art galleries full of exhibitions, theatres, historic cellars, clubs, cafes & restaurants with live music, is an exciting destination for the travelers on the world map!
The city’s cultural heritage is mirrored in its intellectual achievements – the Jagiellonian University is the oldest in Poland. The student population of the city numbers almost 100,000 and this large student population fires a lively nightlife scene that burns brightly in the atmospheric cellar bars away from the tourists above. Cracow has sharply contrasting seasons with cold, snowy winters and fresh springs and autumns. Visitors should beware of the locals’ use of the word fresh – an optimistic reference to blatantly cold weather. The labyrinthine cellars of the Old Town are an ideal place to escape the winter chill. However, come summer, the quintessential Cracow experience is relaxing in a pavement café on the main square enjoying one of the long and balmy nights.

Cracow (Krakow) is now well established as a major tourist destination. At the height of summer, Poland’s fourth largest city throngs with tour groups, all manner of tourist tack and countless pavement cafés that seem to occupy every cobble of the main square. Out of season, late at night or even in the first slivers of morning light, it is clear why so many people flock to visit. This magical city, situated in the southeast of the country, between the Jura uplands and the Tatra Mountains, on the banks of the Wisla (Vistula) River, has one of the best-preserved medieval city centres in Europe. Dozens of churches cover almost every architectural period and are surrounded by monasteries and abbeys – walking through the Old Town streets is like drifting back through the musty pages of a historical novel.

Cracow – a tourist horn of plenty
Cracow, Poland's former royal capital, is one of the most attractive spots on the tourist map of Europe. This is a place where legends, history and modernity intertwine. The city, which lies on the banks of the Vistula River, is famous for its priceless historical monuments of culture and art.
