In this solo fishing trip I am camping overnight in a tent on the river bank, fishing a lot (perch, chub, bream), cooking on the campfire, steaming pea as a fish bait, exploring and filming nature around my camp (met some interesting species).
I made this solo backpacking trip at the end of July, 2021. The weather was hot, near 26-28 °C (daytime), and after 9 km hike I stopped and decided to stay in a shade of a beautiful maple tree on the bank of the Neman river.
On the first day I made a campfire place and prepared some dry pea for the steaming (put it in the water and left for 12 hours). Steamed pea is the best bait for chub, roach, bream in summer in our country. In the evening I visited an old oak grove. Some of the oak trees are badly burnt by lightning but they are still alive.
I spent the first half of the next day, steaming the pea in my hiking pot, and in the evening I went fishing. I was lucky this day - I caught a nice chub and released it away, cause I almost never eat chubs (they are beautiful, but bony and their taste isn’t delicious, so I don’t want to kill this fish).
The next morning I caught some beautiful perches and fried them on the campfire. Perch is one of the best fish for cooking in Belarus - no small bones, nice taste, easy to cook.
In the afternoon I decided to check another spot for fishing and occasionally caught the biggest fish of this summer season. The river in this place is shallow and I wasn’t expecting at all the bite of this gorgeous fish at and decided to let it be free. In the evening during my walk I found a nice place for camping, and I think that soon I will visit it.
This was definitely the best fishing adventure of this year and after it I clearly understood, that the best decision is to catch only a few fish for eating and not to torment a lot of it for more views on RU-vid. Have a nice watch!
