Trophy surprise from small river

 Another visit to Białka was rather short, but unusual.  I came early in the morning. The river was covered with fog.


I came to the nice pool, where the river gets wider, and there's some calm water near the bank. 
It looks like nice place for my trout spey gear. 

After few casts , when my streamer swung to the rightmost position, I got a strike. That was a decent brown trout. After few spectacular jumps, fish landed in my net.
Woow, what a fish! For Białka it's a trophy! 


There were some people on the opposite bank.  They shout something to me, but I didn't hear. Later, they approached my and told that today is a fishing competition, and I should not fish there until 13:00 or so. They were marking beats for competitors. 

I went to other place, upstream, it it also was marked.


Unfortunately, the whole river was reserved for competitions. And Biały Dunajec too. 

There were no other options in nearby rivers, so my fishing ended up prematurely. But I was very happy, because I caught my Fish Of The Month. Big brown trout from Białka river. There are some big trout, but rare and extremely hard to catch.
