My wish was granted so here I am! I had a hard time trying to keep out of the reach of virtuous fishing rods of the fishermen that came here to measure their strength in front of the vigilant carp, competing for different Rig Cups or for the stages of the National Fishing Championship, which precedes the World Championship. A fisherman from the team that will represent
I hope that all of the participants will fully enjoy the competition, the festivities and the pleasant surprises that the organizers prepared for them, and that the beautiful memories will bring them back to our lands, both for fishing and for tourism and recreation. |
