End of Summer update - Start of pike season

The Pike fishing over the past few weeks here had already looked promising and sort of gave hope to an early start to good post summer piking.

This was confirmed yesterday when the German guest Volker Kliche hooked and landed the first pike over a meter after the Summer break (What summer?), during a days guided fishing with us.

Coincidentaly this was also Volkers first pike over the magic one meter mark. The pike was in great condition and measured 106cms/ 10kg. It was the biggest of seven pike he managed to land yesterday.

Unless we get an unexpected heat wave now, the pike fishing for the coming weeks and months looks promising.

Meanwhile the perch fishing is also pretty good right now, with some nice ones coming to Drop-shot and vertical jigging techniques.

New Guide boat nearly finished!

We were pleased to see that our new Guide-boat is now nearly finished and will soon be on it's way to us. Thanks to the good people at Mirrocraft, who sent us this sneak preview picture.
The boat should be here and fully fitted out before October all going well! So we will have it when the pike fishing kicks off again.
This state of the art fishing boat will finally provide ample space for our guided fishing trips for up to three clients and all equipment. It will be fully equipped with trolling motors, electronics, swivel seats, etc.
More news and info about our new and improved equipment and services are to follow soon...

August update

The fishing this August has been unusually good so far. Must have to do with the fact that we didn't really get any proper summer weather.

We had some nice trout both on fly and trolling over the past few weeks. Perch are absolutely everywhere right now and one can have great fun catching them on light tackle, and we even had quite a few pike over the weekend up to low double figures. Won't be long now til we start pike fishing proper again in September.
