This is (not) a plea for the trout

During this event several prizes were awarded to those who promote the outdoor leisure is all its aspects. Here René Beaumont received the “Gerd Janssen-Fly” from John Hagens, […]
Then “progress” came along
Last Spring a CTCF-/EcoAlbania-team visited the famous Valbona river. Findings, ambition, and hope led to drafting a plan for conserving the ecosystem and the trout in this catchment, introducing fly-fishing as a trigger for boosting non aggravating tourism businesses. We had managed to get the support of many governmental and managerial bodies for this. Also […]
