The last day of our Harz trip was upon us.
Since we had to travel 4 hours back to the west we knew it would be a short day.
After the excellent breakfast at the hotel we decided to take no chances and thus
headed up to the place we fished most during our trip.
I noticed the waterlevel had dropped and clarity had improved, not that good for
close quarter nymphing but what the heck.
At first I wanted to fish the section near the reservoir but somehow my buddies
beat me to that spot.
So I decided to fish upstream from them and found myself back at the pool where
I had so much success the day before.
The deep nymphing paid off with a nice grayling.
Besides the grayling the trout where also present and for this stream of reasonable size.

Off course since we where fishing upstream from the reservoir we ran into the non-game fish
species like the Roach.
I always liked to catch every fish species that took a fly so I did not mind the variety of fish species around.

Time flew by and before I knew it I had to go.
I took some deep breath from the mountain air and pondered about what a great trip this was.
On the way back to the car I noticed that the windflowers where now full in bloom.

It seemed like this year everything in nature was a month behind schedule.
Lucky for us since the crew that went a month earlier came back home virtually skunked.
We however where lucky enough to run into fish even in semi flooding conditions.
Everyone had a great time and we would surely go back there again.
