Fishing tips
The fishing takes place in high-altitude mountain lakes, and it pays to be prepared for changing weather and conditions. Small lures and spinners work well, especially on still evenings. Ground fishing is often effective in the smaller ponds. In clear and shallow water, small flies and sober presentations can give good results. Early morning and late evening often provide the best conditions.
