Amazing Trip
First of all, Pete is so friendly! I came with a bicycle and he allows me to store it in his shop. The trip: just one word: amazing! I got really no experience in fishing but Pete and his colleague helped me whenever I need some help. And we hooked so much fish! Great day I didn't want to miss! Cheers, Roman
