First of May is always associated with pike or asp. This year I made a different decision and went for brown trout.
A few big fish have been living in the narrow river. I couldn't catch them. Low level of the water broke my chances. The fish was very careful and have seen me before I could see them. But I was able to catch some smaller fish. The fresh air in the forest and the total lack of people meant that I haven't felt such joy in fishing for a long time.
I started the season without spectacular results and big fish. But I was happy and I rested from the fishing pressure. Now it's time for pike. I'll prepare stronger rods, I'll get on the boat and I'll sail for a new adventure.
