Oct/Nov* Fishing with friends. Average 7 fishes per hour!

2011 has been a difficult summer for the fishermen. The waterlevel was 40 to 100 cms over the normal more or less all the time and in short periods even much higher. This phenomena made the access to fishingspots difficult and the fishing very challenging. We had difficult fishing conditions also in 2010, but this season has been even worse. Compare with statistics on the "News 2010" page. Let's hope we'll have a "normal" summer again 2012! Best fishing was from the middle of October and November, but there were no tourists here in that period of time. However, I had good fishing with friends that period. See statistics above "Oct/Nov*"

2010 has been a difficult summer for the fishermen. The waterlevel was 20 to 50 cms over the normal more or less all the time and in short periods even much higher. This phenomena made the access to fishingspots difficult and the fishing very challenging. We had difficult fishing conditions also in 2009, but this season has been even worse. Compare with statistics on the "News 2008" page. Let's hope we'll have a "normal" summer again 2011!
