Special features of a fishing day: Walking through the dam, we’ve seen some lake trouts swimming close to the surface, which were grabing the fallen insects and perhaps pollen, driven by the wind. Andrew (my client) threw a coin into the water, making a splash among fish, which attacked this coin in one second! So, I am going to make a lure in denominations of one crown 🙂
