The Bulgarian fly fisher and fly tier known as The Shark

Radoslav Kiskinov

We asked Bulgarian fly tyer and fly angler Radoslav Kiskinov to describe himself, and this is what he wrote:

- My name is Radoslav Kiskinov better known as "Akulata" (the shark). I am 30 years old.
I live in Bulgaria and have started fly fishing and fly tying in the year 2000.
I am the webmaster of the www.akulata.com - the biggest Bulgarian fly fishing website the solely purpose of which is to make fly fishing more popular in Bulgaria.

I go fishing in many different places in our country - rivers, lakes, reservoirs, channels etc and some rivers at Serbia ­ Drina, Jetina.

I like to fish with dry flies, wet flies, nymphs and streamers through the whole year. I do not have favorite fish. Brown, rainbow, brook trout, grayling, chub, perch, pike, Each fish taken on a fly is a good fish for fly fishing.
Last year I made another website - www.akulataflyfishing.com - an online shop specialized in fly fishing. My every day may job is to tie flies, to go fishing, to write about my fishing and to sell fly fishing products.

    Dear Rado,
    I wish to retire in Bugaria, where I have purchased a house in Plakavo, near V.T 4 years ago. There is no way I could sit around and do nothing with my days ahead , and this is why I am writing to you. I would like to promote fly fishing in the V.T area, and act as a guide to fly fishing in the area. I have been involved in trout farming, Fly fishing promotion and advice in South Africa, as well as sales for a number of years. I tye my own flys that actualy do catch trout, I am not sure why though.....
    I would be very greatfull if you could advise me or assist me with advice as to how I my help or advance the fly fishing ferterinty, or even help you in expanding your operation in the V.T area if possible, and in so doing allow me to reside in your beauifull country.
    Yours Faithfully

    Hello Radoslav, I like to come over to Bulgaria to fish the brown or rainbow on a river in your country not to far from Sofia. I have my personal raisons to come over there but it has to be on a river and fly-fish only. If it exist I like to fish catch and release. Can you give me some info about my questions. Thank you.

    Shoot the weather

    Better pictures: How do you frame wind? How is snow captured best? How do you protect your camera when you try to freeze a shower into a single image? No, it's not at all easy to get the impression of weather into that piece of mechanics and electronics we call a camera. Check out the pix and tips here

    Shark's Caddis Larva

    Juvinile: This is a very simple fly imitating the caddis larva. Some may call it realistic fly, some will say impressionistic, but no matter what, the originator says with 100% certainty that it's a killer pattern and he has caught lots of fish with it in many different places.

    Fishy art: "I really can't pin down exactly when I started doing artwork. I've always done it." These are the words of Sean Seal when presented with the question "how did it start?". Based in Bay City, Michigan, which is not exactly "a fly fishing paradise" as he says, he has still taken on fly fishing as a subject for his art. See his works here

    Simple things somehow often seem to work and this has also been the case for one of Nils Jorgensen's absolute favorite salmon flies, the Raven NJ. It has proven itself many times.

    The Visitors - Day 2

    Two days. Two teams. Six fly fishers. Very different and difficult circumstances. Kasper Mühlbach was invited by a Lithuanian and a German team to go fishing with them. Their role was to catch and pose. Kasper's role was to photograph.
