20150508_173254 As usually, I paid more attention on stillwater fishing in spring. We changed management of the Květoňov lake, we removed all carp and pike in Autumn 2013 which positively affected water quality and survival rate of trouts, and lake is open for fishing whole year around since 2015. Ice melted in mid March, overwintered fish were hungry and in great condition, more over they were rising for hatching buzzers. We started immediately regular stocking of fresh fish. After quarantine in 2013 caused by infection, our hatchery is again able to produce good quality fish which is great message for our waters.  I was there few times and fishing was always good, we stocked also really big fish, one local fisherman almost get heard attack after I released trout of 4 kg.
I attended three competitions, in Polička Cup I was third between 180 competitors after first day, but second day was not so good. We organised Czech lake championship in Květoňov lake, I had been full of ambitions but I was again successful only first day. Finally I defended victory in May cup in Květoňov lake, and this three results lifted me to the TOP 20 in the running Czech fly-fishing ranking, not bad start of the season. We will see in rivers.

After one year break, we managed trip to still-waters in England, we were group of 8 people including Karel, we were fishing Eyebrook, Rutland, Grafham, Pitsford nad Raventshorpe, we found great base at Great Easton B&B,  despite of very cold and windy weather we get in 6 days over 400 fish. We met also Ben and Andy and were a little working on preparation of our spring workshop in local pub :-)
