    Fishing for harius and lenok fish
    The most joyful event for every fisherman to catch a huge fish. Today you will have such a chance. However, today the rules of the game will be different. "Catch and release" are common practices for fisherman. After capture, the fish are unhooked and returned to the water. Often, a fast measurement and weighing of the fish is worthwhile. Using barbless hooks, it is often possible to release the fish without removing it from the water (a slack line is frequently sufficient).
