The Lupava is one of the most beautiful if not actually the most beautiful river of the Pomerania region. It’s very differentiated. There are deep spots with calm current intertwined with shallow, ‘mountain-like’ swift current. The bottom of the river is stony and gravelly or sandy, in parts there are rich underwater plants. Trout and grayling live over a long section of the river.
It depends on the time of the year whether one should look for fish on sections with calmer and deeper or shallow swift current with well-oxygenated water. Drake flight is a big attraction of this river. If you are at the river at that time, you mustn’t miss it. The proper approach of the hosts of the fishery (including bigger fishable size requirements, lowering limits to 1 fish daily) made it possible to have good fishing scores all the season long.
The river on our guide’s favorite section is not affected with melioration. Its beautiful wild character has been preserved here. The anglers may spot a lamprey looting on the bottom, a kingfisher watching its prey, or eagles circling over one’s head.
This is the moment one realizes how special this place is. The Lupawa is not a fishery for a fly angler. There are sections of the river accessible for the spinning anglers.

My name is Mateusz Kalkowski. Fishing is the passion of my life. I try to spend every spare moment with a rod or a camera in my hands. It all started with trips with my brother and father (thank you, Dad!) to Mazury Region (Masuria). It is there where my fishing adventure began. I knew at once that spinning was not for me. I did not like and I still don’t the ‘stationary’ fishing. I like travelling and I love to visit new places whenever possible. 
He’s a fan of spinning and jerk bait fishing after pike. A fishing guide, an editor of a fishing website www.jerkbait.pl, a part-time writer for the “Wiadomosci Wedkarskie” (“Fishing News”) magazine, the CEO of WKS Sandacz fishing club and a member of OKP Passaria. 
I have been fishing for over 20 years. I started with a bob like the majority of anglers. I quickly got interested in catching preying fish with artificial bait. I’ve been spinning for 16 years, and I’ve been fly fishing for 12 years. The main goal of my fishing trips, both with the spinning and with the fly, is the salmon family. In summer, I love to flounder in lowland rivers to look for the barbell, the chub or the catfish. My favorite fisheries are reefs, a substitute for fishing in the mountain rivers.
