Jacek Gorny has also been providing great sport for his clients, with some cracking fish caught. On the 3rd they had 8 trout landed on small lures, all handmade by Jacek himself, and all between 50-60cm. They also landed a monster pike over 100cm, the first of the season over the magic 1 metre mark, to finish off a fine day’s sport.
