Houtskar 14-16.5.
HannuR & Reiska

We caught a lot of small pikes, but the monsters were not co-operative. The hot lures were Jerk, Zalt, Nils Masters wobblers and perches as baitfishes.In most of the bay areas the color of the water was muddy, some flourishing algae perhaps? We saw some monster class pikes, but they did not hit on anything. They only swam away, when the boat was on them. In fraiday evening we caught about ten whitefishes, but the season is a bit over, so many perches and roaches we caught. In saturday we thought to use a whitefish as pike bait, when one pike hit on Reiska's whitefish hanging on the line. The pike came almost to the shoreline having the whitefish in its mouth, and another pike followed it, too!

Pomarkku, Kynasriver 13.-15.5.
TomiL and Jori

We spent overnights in Kalle's outdoor shelter and flyfished Kukonkoski and Vaarakoski rapid areas. There seemed to be fished all over the river area, apparently the fishes put into the river for opening of the season had spread all over. We caught seven rainbow trouts (700-1400g). Hot flies were for instance a simple grey Zonker. We caught some minor graylings, too. Now the water temperature had sunken to + 13 centigrades. In thursday evening the ir temperature went under five centigrades zero, and the flyline was too stiff to run through the guides.

The weather was crazy in the morning: storm and heavy rain, so the saldo was only 5 pikes, the biggest 2,0 kg. We had go to the cabin and try to dry up for a couple of hours.

In the afternoon the weather cleared up, so we could again fish seriously. No big ones, but one eight kilos fish, which we lost. The total catch of the day was  51 pikes. The rushes gave no more fishes, the hot spots were by the sunken rocks.

Perhaps the big pikes are still spawning?!? I wonder and presume so, because many of the fishes are still loaded with roes. The show of the day gave  51 pcs pikes 1,0-2,5 kg, the biggest ones were only two and half kilos. Today in friday morning the wind is nastily heavy!

The lake Matildanjarvi 9.5.

Fishing from 8-11 pm. I bought three hours licence and decided to fish from shore with baits. I am not a friend of fishing with pastes, but I did not want to hire a boat so late in the evening.At  10.10 pm I lost an about two kilos rainbow, the 0,20 mm leader broke in the knot, when the fish was almost in my net. I had another fish on, too, but lost it. How can I have this kind of bad luck? The water temperature was  15 centigrades.
