Smart Brown trouts!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

9th June 2008 was the beginning of the fishing season in the Laar reservoir at Laar dam, right at west of Damavand peak, and east of Tehran province, Iran.  This year, I had the chance to go there to have a great adventure and fishing experience.  The lake is native environment of an special species of fresh water fish; Brown trout.  This kind of brown trout is called Red-Dot trout locally or in Farsi: “Khaal-Ghermez, خال قرمز”, because most of the fish are silver colored trouts with black and red dots on them (other varieties exist as well).

I tried to get some sleep the Sunday 8th June, as I didn’t get a good sleep for a few days before, thinking I needed to gather my strength and wake up very early and I was to drive about 90 Km to the Laar reservoir and Damavand peak.

Damavand Peak, Alborz mountains, Tehran, Iran, 2 June 2008

Hi everybody,

Monday 9th June 2008, the fishing season at Laar dam reservoir will start.  I see people are planning to be there for brown trouts (native to Iran and specially to Laar river), so although I have been at Caspian shore just a few days ago, I am planning to be there, probably to also participate in the season competition.

I am not sure if I can really be prepared in 3 days, but everything of my tools are in my car’s trunk and I am really eager to start the season wih everybody else.  I also had the opportunity to take some pictures during my past trip to the Caspian, including a few from the road, which is very beautiful in this time of the year.

I will try to put these on Google Earth as soon as I can, so everybody else enjoys.

Paymaan.
