Had a fun afternoon catching trout.
Came here for fishing. Few options available. For catch and release, minimum 2 hours for about Euro 9, come with Rod and hook. Bring own bait which is cheese cube 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm. Fish available is sturgeon and catfish. Caught 3 sturgeon in 2 hours. At first, not getting any bites. Luckily the owner came to our help and teach us how to hook the bait properly (refer picture attached).After that, try another pond which u can take back the trout fish. (forel) minimum 4 hours, bait given was worm. Didn't get a single bite in 4 hours!!!There is a nice cafe there for coffee and some bites.
Great little fishery, owner is very pleasant and good coffee. Oh and fish are in really nice condition what more could you ask for.
