Marek “maro” Gryglewski, lives in Krakow, a man from Debniki upon the Vistula river, an individualist, a loner, he prefers a tent or a boat over a comfortable bed… He does not remember if he could walk before he could fish or the other way round… this was passed from the previous generation. His first trips? With a local bus with his grandpa – to the Skawinka, Tyniec upon the Vistula river. When the grandpa was not there anymore, there were long trips by ‘Iz’ motorbike hanged onto his uncle – to the Orawka, the San, the Pilica, the Raba, the Danube shoots.
He is in love with the Tylmanowa river – he keeps returning to this river and to its huchen. For the last 20 years he has been living and fishing abroad – in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the North Sea, the Indian ocean, the Baltic sea, Kattegat.
In 2004, he caught the biggest pike in Sweden. He is the Golden Ambassadeur – tester for products from Abu plant in Svängsta (2005-2006). The Swedish reporter for the Wedkarski Swiat magazine. He fishes wherever he may, with all possible methods, in all conditions and for all fish types. His motto: the worst day fishing is thousand times better than the best day at work!
Our main fishery is the Kävlingeån river. The river flowing in southern Skane, starts in the Vombsjö lake and ends in the sea close to Lomma bukten. Its total length amounts to about 35 km, including 16km from its source up the stream open for sport fishing and managed by the Angling Association. In this section, the river resembles a typical Polish Pomeranian river with an average width of 25-35m and a stable current.
The best pike fishing time is winter although the time after the spawning is good as well. In the March-May period, depending on the weather, you may try to catch robust sander and perch (fish weighing 2kg do not surprise anyone), which are entering after the spawning from the bay, as well as whitefish, which are doing the same. Temporarily, carp, tench and roach occur here, while specimen catchers come here to look for record rudd.
