3. Fly-fishing in Greece

Hello I am pleased to meet more anglers from around the world of fly-fishing. I am Mihail(Mihalis) and I start fly-fishing guiding in Greece so If you go on Holiday in Greece take with you your fly rod and reel and waders and call me..... Look here: www.flyfishingguidegreece.com

Beautiful photos, Mike. What part of Greece?

Depends on which photo you like. There are photos from various places

Mike, My wife is Greek (from Athens) and we're contemplating retiring in Greece. I'm an avid fly-fisher having fished all my adult life.
I'd like to know more about the fish, entomology, and streams of Greece. We'll be taking a few vacations to Greece over the next few years before retirement and at some point I would like to meet you and see what you're offering.

Something is wrong with the web site or his server as it takes forever to DL the magnified Gallery pictures. I tried opening one and after thirty minutes it was still only half opened. Many of the streams look very shallow with little character. Some of the pools looked nice but the trout looked anemic and I doubt I'd consider Greece as a destination trout trip.

Hi Skeefer, welcome to the forum. You didn't notice, but Mike1974 posted to mention his service almost three years ago. He hasn't been back, so the odds that he'll respond here are pretty slim. I suggest trying to contact him through his website (assuming he's still guiding).

As far as the fishing, I concur with Matt.

Great pics!

Thanks Entoman, he did reply as I had also sent an email via his website the same day.

That's great to hear. Let us know how it goes.

Hello Guys. Sorry but i don't write here many years but i fishing all the time :) My site working. I am in ... fly dreamers . Ok .
