Hron (Garam) - grayling section, Slovakia, Fall 2013 (28. Sept + 09. Oct)

Some friends told me that after several years Hron is good again. It was one of my favourite rivers, but in the past 3-4 years I had only bad experiences or news, so I decided not to visit that river. Untill now.
The road conditions to Brezno were not good, 4 h drive from Budapest, but both times we made a one day trip there. The water was crystal clear, its level was very low, and there was hatch everywhere.
We cought lots of graylings from 25 to 35 cm, plus a few rainbow trouts on dryfly, plus i had a surise catch, a small hutcho, the first one of my life. It took a small nymph.
The best beats are from Brezno to the north till the revir border (start of trout revir). nearby bridges in Bujakovo, Filipovo, Gasparovo. 
Licence: you can buy the daily licence (if you have the Slovakian general licence) in Anton's fishing tackle shop, Anton's cell phone number is this one: 00 421 905 464 594. He speaks German.
 The shop is cca 100 m from main square, even less (no entrance from main street, so difficult to find), but i am not sure about the address. I think it is this one: Rázusova 928/4, 97701 Brezno

Accommodation:
There are some hotels like Dumbier in Brezno, but i never stayed there.
I booked once a very nice traditional wooed weekend house through limba.com, a slovak online travel agency.
