As the American Diplomat, Jason Kalbfleisch writes in a letter published by the US Embassy on their official Facebook Page; western Georgia is the best place for fly fishing.
“As a Foreign Service Officer and former adventure guide in Alaska, I have had amazing fishing experiences all over the world. Fly fishing in Western Georgia (a fisherman never tells exactly where) is as good as it gets,” writes Kalbfleisch.
He also writes about Georgian nature and the hospitality of people. “I caught and released over 35 trout in three days of fishing, and I cannot wait to return to catch them again and again,” read the letter of the diplomat.
Fuel price increases at majority of Petrol Stations
The fuel price has increased by 0. 05 GEL at the majority of Petrol Stations across Georgia.
The price for 1 liter of regular type petrol at Gulf network is 2. 54, at Socar Petroleum Georgia – 2.53 GEL, Rompetrol – 2.54 GEL, Wissol – 2. 59 GEL.
