Teaching the little one how to fish. He was more interested in running around the lake than fishing!
2010 08 27: FRANCE : Briancon : Torrent des Ayes:
Upper reaches of the mountain stream. Mostly small arctic Chars with a few slightly bigger brown trouts. A lot of wild strawberries.

Lower reaches of the mountain stream. Some nice brown trouts. A lot of wild strawberries once again.
2010 09 01: FRANCE : Briancon : Vallee Etroite:
Beautiful spot nearby the italian border. Fishing sucked until lunch time, then things started kicking into gear. Caught all raimbow trouts and artic chars. One of the raimbows was 1.3 Kgs. Maxim took his licence as well and helped me pull out the biggest one.
2010 09 03: FRANCE : Briancon : Torrent de Bouchouse:
A little gem of a stream. Went to the higher portion. Mostly small arctic chars as well a brown trouts. Nothing to brag about size-wise but beautiful robes. The exit from the stream involves some near vertical portions that should be treated with respect, especially when hiking those with rubber boots...

A Last trip to the lower portion of the stream ahead of the trip back to France. Was a good day as usually is there. Much easier than the higher portion of the stream in terms of access and getting out. I will miss the place, hopefully will be back there next summer...
