30th FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championship, Lesko-Polańczyk, 14-21.VI.2010 Conservation symposium Origins of fly fishing & Management of River San Dr. Stanisław Cios 30th FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championship, Lesko-Polańczyk, 14-21.VI.2010 Conservation symposium Relation between man and the environment: the past and today 1. On the genesis of fly fishing 2. Management of a Salmonid fishery in a country with strong angling pressure Origins of fly fishing Oldest detailed accounts of flyfishing in Europe Author Country Naturals imitated II-III A.D. Aelianus Macedonia/Greece Insect hippurus XV Tegernsee man. Germany Many insects XV manuscripts England Many insects 1450 Barnes England Many insects (12 flies) 1558 Gesner Germany Many insects 1624 Astorga man. Spain Many insects Origins of fly fishing Conclusions From the earliest times fly fishing was was based on the concept of imitation of insects. Anglers are fathers of entomology Depuis les temps anciens la pêche à la mouche est basé sur l’ideé d’imitation des insectes. Les pêcheurs sont les pères de l’entomologie. Dai tempi più antici la pesca con la mosca é stata basata sull’idea d’imitazione degl’insetti. I pescatori sono i padri dell’entomologia Od najdawniejszych czasów połów na muszkę oparty był o koncepcję imitacji owadów. Wędkarze są ojcami entomologii. Origins of fly fishing Aelianus II–III A.D.: insect hippurus Fly fishing during emergence of mayfly Oligoneuriella Origins of fly fishing Conclusions Hungry man observed trout feeding at water surface He tried to catch trout with a natural bait This didn’t work!!! Tried a natural mayfly - Insect is to soft - Night time Cannot catch the insect Cannot see the insect or hook This didn’t work!!! Origins of fly fishing ??? Origins of fly fishing Conclusions The ancient fly angler learned that an imitation is better than a natural Le pêcheur ancien a trouvé que l’imitation est plus efficace que l’insecte naturel Il pescatore antico ha trovato que l’imitazione é più efficace que l’insetto Dawny wędkarz szybko się nauczył, że imitacja jest skuteczniejsza od prawdziwego owada Origins of fly fishing Argument: The angling technique was highly developed in antiquity La technique de la pêche avec l’hameçon dans les temps anciens était bien développé La tecnica di pesca col amo nei tempi antici é stata molto sviluppata W starożytności technika połowu ryb była wysoko rozwinięta Metal age – ca 500-700 B.C. Switzerland Crete Homer - 700 B.C. (Odyssey and Iliad) Angling with the use of the horn of the field ox ??? Homer - 700 B.C. Catfish-fishing: River Nemen (Lithuania), still in use in the 19th century Ancient Egypt – ca 1500-2000 B.C. Neolithic period – ca. 2000-3000 B.C. Mesolithic period – ca 5000 B.C. Origins of fly fishing Conclusions Man invented fly fishing during the iron age, ca. 1000500 B.C. L’homme a inventé la pêche à la mouche dans l’âge de ferre, ca. 1000-500 A.C. L’huomo ha inventato la pesca con la mosca nell’età di ferro, ca 1000-500 A.C. Człowiek wymyślił sztuczną muszkę w epoce żelaza, ok. 1000-500 r. p.n.e. Origins of fly fishing Conclusions The development of fly fishing in Europe was based on the mayfly Oligoneuriella Le développment de la pêche à la mouche en Europe était basé sur l’éphémère Oligoneuriella Lo sviluppo de la pesca con la mosca nell’Europa é stato basato sull’effimera Oligoneuriella Rozwój wędkarstwa muchowego w Europie oparty był o jętkę Oligoneuriella. Part II. Management of River San River San Solina dam constructed in the years 1961-1968 Characteristics: - Depth 60 m (deepest reservoir in Poland) - Lake area 2100 ha River San Myczkowce dam - 23 m high - Hypolimnion drain - Winter temperature 4˚C - Summer temperature 10˚C River San Ante 1968: Chub Dominated by Cyprinidae Barbel No trout or grayling Nase River San Brown trout Post 1970: Stocking with Salmonids: Grayling Sea trout Huchen Management: Stocking Brown trout, grayling, sea trout and huchen Marking and studying fish injecting elastomer Protection From poachers Problem with predators No-Kill section Stocking Marking Protecting Poaching is not allowed!!!!! No illegal Uninvited guests No Kill section Created in 2004 Parameteres: - From the outlet of the power plant in Zwierzyń -To the inflow of the tributary Hoczewka -Length 7 km -Fly-fishing-only with barbless hooks - Maximum of 50 annual licenses (expensive – 1400 PLN) - Maximum of 15 day tickets (70 PLN) x No Kill section Goals - To increase the population of Salmonids - To obtain material for artificial reproduction - To create conditions for fly angling and development of tourism Effects: - In 2006: 3200 day-tickets sold, of which 1500 to foreigners - Foreigners: Mainly from France. Next: Italy, United Kingdom, Also: Czech Rep., Slovakia, Netherlands, Hungary, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Austria, Lithuania, even USA and Japan - In 2006 total direct income from angling tourism: ca 1.5 million PLN (ca 400.000 EUR) - Local population realized that protecting the river is good business Effects: - Many fish available for natural and artificial reproduction (for San and other rivers, even in other parts of Poland) - No-Kill anglers have a water full of fish - Yes-Kill anglers have many fish in the section downstream (the overproduction drift downstream) - Biodiversity is increased (more predators and wildlife) No Kill section Licences sold Day ticket Annual ticket 2004 1332 41 2005 2487 44 2006 3200 50 Thank you for your attention
