Perhaps one of the most beautiful lakes on the planet… heavily defended!
A couple of trips out last week in Hungary. The first was an Asp fishing trip down the Drava, which seems low and perfect, but we couldn’t find any fish whatsoever. Winter has been very mild for Hungary this year – I believe this is the case all over Europe. Night times are sub-zero, true, but the lakes haven’t frozen yet. Or actually they hadn’t until I went fishing with Erno for pike. The water we wanted to fish had frozen, so we went somewhere else, and while we had an enjoyable time fishing a small snowstorm, we caught no fish! Anyway, it was nice to be out.

Shots from the week!
A few shots from the weekend…
Wood chopping and fishing a very low Drava, making the most out of very short daylight hours! Christ it will soon be the shortest day and Christmas – what happened to the summer? Hard to believe that it hasn’t snowed yet, I’m sure it would have done so had there been any moisture around. So I’m living on borrowed time, chopping as much wood as I can for the winter and (hopefully) next summer as well!
I made the decision, this year, to not live under bridges on a diet of raw apples and roadside blackberries, but instead to have a couple of months of hard work, designing tackle, so that I can get rich quick and return to sunnier climes a prince, or duke or a king maybe. In the meantime I’ve finally finished Latohegy, all apart from the water heating system which involves soldering copper, a task which is, of course, completely impossible. When I say “finished” I am referring only to the inside, and to the inside of the cabin at that. I’m not referring to the cellar, the outside bath, the pizza oven and seating area, the outdoor flytying room, the ten miles of fence, the vineyards, the three lakes (one of which is for casting, the other two containing large black bass), the mermaid statue water fountains, the house I’m actually going to live in or any of the other things that will prevent me fishing or fucking 24hrs/day.
But even so, it’s comes as both relief and surprise to have finished something that I started, and since I can’t recall ever being in this position before, I went fishing…
A couple of non-fishing shots from last week. Back in the groove this week.
A few more shots from Malaysia. Well done to Riki and Rahiman for both successfully passing their FFF CI.
