Special features of a fishing day:The morning on the lake met us with a light frost. My friend Jakub Vagner, which owns this quite big artificial lake, decided to make an experiment and try here for the first time fishing from the ice. So I was full of expectations! Immediately from the first hole with a 5 feet depth I got a bite and pull off a little perch. The same situation continued: hole-perch, hole-perch. A friend of my caught a couple of roaches, but the weather was definitely not for this fish. The shallow water with seaweeds was full of perch fry, and the biggest fish was gathered at a deep pool by the dam. In the evening I catch a small walleye, which was immediately released back. Looking forward for the thaw!
