This interview with František Hanák, who won the famous international river competition, the Welsh Dee International Grayling Championship in late November, was conducted by Karel Křivanec.
CZN: It's becoming a tradition that, at the end of November, you travel to Wales to compete in the Grayling Festival. How did it compare, this year, with previous competitions?
43.6 lb World record Rainbow Trout
Sunday, 09 December 2007 00:00
Caught on June 5th (Lake Deifenbaker). June 6th weighed at prairie meats on a certified scale at 43.6lbs. This is the new World Record Rainbow Trout caught by twin brothers from Saskatoon. These guys have been catching lots of BIG fish down there and previously caught the provincial and Canadian records. The previous world record was caught in Alaska (1970) and weighed 42 lbs. Everything grows big in Saskatchewan.
A world record in fly-fishing?

When a photo of a young boy with a big catfish caught on a nymph appeared in a 2002 issue of the Czech magazine Rybarstvi (Fishing), I did not much believe it. A ten-year old boy kneeling behind a fish as big as a log, caught on a fine fly-fishing rod? My doubts increased when I tried to contact the fisher by mail, and after a couple months still nobody had replied. So I set out for Velká Bíteš to the Skoda family.
Mrs. Skoda welcomed me, saying that Mirek was running somewhere around the house, and she had his younger sister get him. In the meanwhile, she told me some initial information and started to search for a videotape with the most important moments of the catch.
With nymphs to South Africa - part III
Tuesday, 25 September 2007 00:00
On Monday, April 23, we stopped in Johannesburg for a while. First, Korrie visited his mother in hospital and we waited for him in a small fast-food place where we had coffee, some mineral water and a couple of sweet cookies. Although about five black attendants were employed there, our simple order took more than a quarter of hour, because nobody really hurries here.
Korrie met his second sister and she invited us to her nearby house. Even this one-storey building was perfectly secured against intrusion. In one of the rooms there was a great collection of African fauna, stuffed here in all their beauty or with trophies hung on the wall. Only an elephant, lion, rhino and hippo were missing. This sister’s second husband was a naturalist but was unfortunately already dead. That seemed strange to me, but I learned that men in South Africa don’t live as long as those in Europe. I felt a sudden surge of homesickness.
