Springtime Fly Fishing in Switzerland

I was in Switzerland this Spring to help with the final production and quality control of the Humboldt GMT. We spent hours sitting in sterile watchmaking clean rooms looking at tiny parts, analyzing technical plans and scrutinizing all the details.
I had one day off before heading back to Chicago and I was dead set on fly fishing. I mean, who wouldn't want to go fly fishing in Switzerland?
I found a local guide (Hi Pascal!), brought my waders and wading boots and caught an uber early train out to the mountains. Yes, I took a train to go fly fishing. How fun is that?
It had been stormy all week and the water was far too fast and high. But I'd come all the way from Chicago and had spent a week indoors so I wasn't going home without wetting a line.
It was a beautiful day full of ever-changing weather, lots of fun and zero fish. I'd do it again tomorrow.

What do you have to lose? This is the best way to describe outdoor pursuits.

Size 8 black Wooly Bugger fished to any seam near the bank. You'll do well.

[@oakandoscar]

Always good to have a go-to fly! We were dealing with super fast, dirty water and tried seams, banks, pools, debris and got nothing except good times! 😂
