European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 20, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                In fishing times of Low Light often result in High activity Norm Zeigler n the dog Days of summer the fishing action can sometimes be As hot As the temperature. The key is knowing where and when to go a general Rule is to avoid the High Bright Sun of midday. There Are exceptions. A few years ago i fished for tinker Mackerel with a couple of Young germans near the greek Island of along sos. By some standards these Guys had it made. Both were machinists from Central Bavaria who had fallen in love with Greece and decided to Chuck the conventional. Lifestyle. Fortunately for them they were skilled in a profession that enabled them to work when they wanted. November to april they spent at jobs near Stuttgart and Numberg making Good Money As cogs in the German economic machine. The other six months they escaped to the Island of Kopelos where they while d away the months chasing girls fishing and generally enjoying the Good life. Along sos is Only a Stone s skip from Kopelos. We headed out of the Harbor got up to planing Speed and in three or four minutes shut off the engine to Drift in the current off a Rocky Headland. We made up rigs with a series of four Buckta is spaced about six inches apart and weighted on the end by a Diamond Jig. Then we dropped them Over the Side letting the Jig drop till it bounced on the Bottom and then reeling in three or four feet of line before starting to Jig. A Swift current swept past a Cliff through a deep Blue Black Channel that was about 60 feet deep. Under the Brilliant Blue Aegean sky we hauled in Mackerel three or four at a time. As Tongas we stayed in the deep Channel we kept catching fish. But the action stopped As soon As die boat drifted up Over a Rock shelf where we could see the Bottom 20 feet Down in the Glass Clear water. L then it was time to restart the motor head up Channel arid Drift Back Down through the Hole. The fish were concentrated in the deep water where the Light is much dimmer than in the shallows. Unlike humans fish have no eyelids so they can not close their eyes. They also know instinctively that in shallow water and Bright Light they Are More vulnerable to predators. This is Why during the brightest part of the Day the Trout in your favorite Stream will usually be in deep holes behind rocks under Banks or beneath sunken logs and other obstructions. I first fished the Deutscher Traun one. Year in late june. The River is one of the top Trout and Grayling streams in Germany. But on a Bright summer afternoon the action was slow to nonexistent. A few hours later when darkness was setting in and the few european fishermen had retired to guest houses for dinner and a few Cool Beers the River came alive with Trout feeding on Small Black caddies. I pulled a dozen or More Browns and rainbows from eight to 18 inches out of a deep Backwater Pool before it was time to quit. And i lost or mistimed the strikes on at least that Many  this Rule in fishing Low Light often Means High activity. A the South Hessen Fly Fishers will meet at 7 .
