Gunnar and Gabriele are participating in the Tipp A Topp program, a local program to get people out to hike and be active. If you complete X out of 20 hikes (X=7,10,15,20) you get a prize. At the top of each hike is a guest book and a number that you fill out in a book you purchase.
They picked a relatively easy hike this time, but it was also near to some fishing spots so we decided to do both. The hike was very nice, not too difficult (only 250m elevation gain or so) and quite short (2km). We added a bit to it on the way back by going around the lake at the top.
After all the hiking, we went for some fishing nearby. It really did not look promising, but it was another beautiful spot and a gorgeous day so it did not matter that we did not see any fishing jumping. My feet/shoes were quite wet from the hike (was just wearing some sandal style shoes) so I stopped fishing to dry them out. Gunnar and Gabrielle kept fishing and all of a sudden Gabrielle had a fish, and a good sized one. That was exciting. We fished for a few more hours and kept one more larger fish, both were saithe. We caught many smaller saithe, they seemed to just be hanging out offshore near some weeds, and there were some smaller minnows around so perhaps they were hunting. It was pretty exciting.
Well here are more pictures of the hike since I did not take any pictures while fishing or watching fishing.
