Features of national fishing.
We still have winter fishing competitions every year. This is truly folk fishing. As the jokers say about such fishing - "pour and drink." In summer, there are also competitions in spinning fishing, feeder, and float fishing rods. Previously, I also participated in similar events and even turned out to be the champion of spinning fishing in regional competitions. It was 2001. Youth!
Thank you, @stef1, for sharing such photos!
Yes, some of our activities we stop the older we get, it is a shame but it is great to know that you won the regional championship :) I can imagine that in winter people so ice-fishing too in your place, where winter is very cold
Of course, in the 90s there was a mass celebration of fishermen on the reservoirs in March-April. Some slept on the ice instead of fishing. Back then, firms and organizations could afford to organize this kind of vacation for their employees, and fishermen in large groups on buses came to ice-covered reservoirs. There is no such thing now. In any case, I do not see such organized trips of fishermen to the reservoirs, everyone gets himself on his transport. But ice fishing is very popular among fishermen.
