Fisherman group from Liethuania
In
early July we got a guest group of four fishermen from Lithuania.
The group travelled more than 1 000 km
to spend a week fishing on Lake Saimaa.
Previously they had visited a couple of times the Åland Islands between Sweden
and Finland.
We
started their week of fishing
with one training day on the waters close
to our fishing cottage. This way they learned about
the good fishing spots and colors for
their lures. We did both soft bait spinning for perch
and pike as well as trolling for pike and walleye. During our tutorial day we
were able to catch perches and pikes. The group very much enjoyed our
picnic break on an island. During the
break we cooked coffee and fried vendace (specialty of Lake Saimaa)
on an open fire. The men also picked some
mushrooms from the island for a tasty evening meal which we cooked of the fish they
had caught.
The
rest of the week the Lithuanian group fished independently using the two 4-meter
long motor boats of our fishing cottage and
managed to get catch daily. However,
angling from the beach of our cottage didn’t prove successful due to the cold and rainy
weather. The men weren’t glad about the
miserable weather but were happy with the
accommodation, as well as the arrangements
for their tutorial fishing day. After all they were able
to catch nice pikes, walleyes, perches and even one big ide.
These
fishermen were fishing for food and smartly they released the fish they did not
need. Great week with excellent fishermen on Lake Saimaa!
