Special features of a fishing day:My client, Dean, was a total beginner in carp fishing, though some large fish has just landed before in Australia. Due to quite cold water our first grass carps didn’t make a great “show”, however carps as usual bended rods to maximum. The russian sturgeon on boilies with dandelion fragrance and large common carp on three maggots and light tackle were very nice catches during afternoon. Finally despite of cold morning and light rain the trip fulfilled all expectations.
