My fishing buddy Ulf and I went to the south of Belgium to flyfish. First stop was near a place called Anseremme where the river called the Lesse meets the Meuse river. We found a nice spot near Pont-de-Lesse but unfortunately there were so many kayaks on the water that it was near impossible to fish.
So we continued driving South and left the highway when we crossed the Lesse again. We looked on the map how we could reach the river and ended up on a bridge near a place called Tellin. We were very lucky to discover this beautiful stretch of the river. I went upstream and Ulf went downstream. We managed to catch 5-6 river trout each (and lost a few). I even caught a crayfish in my net.
We released all fish back in the river and finished this beautiful day with a beer in the pub, exchanging stories with 2 french-speaking flyfishermen.
