No surprise – it was the most bizarre season ever. The year of the virus … but still I was able to have good fishing and I’ve caught a few nice fish. Let’s start from the beginning.

Then there was a strict lockdown and I spent the next few months in London. No fishing at all. That was a good time to catch up with other matters and finally in the summer I was able to get back to the water. The first day and …
I was still in the UK. All competitions in the Netherlands were cancelled so I focused again on reservoir fishing but this time only fly fishing after predators.
The end of summer and early Autumn it was the time of UK competitions: WPC England and Lake Challenge.
