Dnešné rýchle dni nám pomaly ani nedovoľujú zastaviť sa a poriadne si užiť magické momenty, ktoré každodenne zažívame. Možno práve pre to nám tento rok priniesol nepríjemnosti spojené s mediálne prefláknutou krízou označenou ako COVID_19.

These fast days do not even allow us to stop and really enjoy the magical moments that we experience every day. Maybe that's why this year has brought us the inconveniences associated with the medial crisis called COVID_19.
I cez obmedzenia a zákazy musím skonštatovať, že uplynulé mesiace pre mňa predstavovali kolotoč udalostí a zážitkov, ktoré stíham poriadne oceniť až s odstupom času. Rád by som sa o ne s Vami podelil prostredníctvom krátkej série niekoľkých reportov.
Jedným z dávnejších zážitkov tohto roku bola i jedna z mnohých krátkych vychádzok na rieku Labe. Po dlhom prehľadávaní nového úseku a zmenách miesta som konečne objavil úsek, v ktorom sa hlavný tok koryta tesne dotýkal brehu a na dĺžke zhruba dvadsiatich metrov tvorila rieka hlbokú jamu s pokojnou vodou.

Despite the restrictions and prohibitions, I have to admit that the past months have been a carousel of events and experiences, which I really appreciate over time. Now, I would like to share them with you through a short series of my catch reports.
One of the experiences that I earned earlier this year was one of the many short sessions on the river Elbe. After a long search for the new section and changes in location, I finally discovered a section in which the main course of the riverbed touched the shore closely and at a length of about twenty meters, the river formed a deep pit with calm water.
Večer pomaly zahalil lužný les a ja som si v pohodlí lehátka Levelite Oval Bed System Wide užíval ticho prírody. Z diaľky bolo počuť len brechanie srncov a šuchot lístia. Netrvalo však dlho a vzdialený šuchot bol zrazu len pár metrov od môjho Tempestu. Lámanie vetvičiek a hlboké funenie naznačovalo, že oproti mne kráča poriadne veľký diviak. Ihneď som v spacáku prikvačil Semiho tak, aby nemohol dať prasaťu zámienku na obranný útok. No poviem vám, krvi by sa vo mne nedorezali. V prítmí lesa som badal len siluetu, ktorá po chvíľke zaiste vyhodnotila, že nepredstavujeme žiadne riziko a pokojne odkráčala svojou cestou.
Ranné zore so sebou priniesli i pomalý záber z konca hlbokej jamy. Slip-D rig s Gigantikou si našiel svoju obeť, ktorá sa rozhodla nájsť úkryt niekde nižšie po prúde. Kráčajúc k rozozvučanému hlásiču som sa neustále obzeral a dúfal, že niekde z krovia na mňa nevybehne diviak s ktorým som mal večer tú česť.

The evening slowly covered the floodplain forest and I enjoyed the silence of nature in the comfort of my Levelite Oval bedchair. Only the deer roar from a distance and the rustling of leaves could be heard. It didn´t take so long, when the distant rustling suddenly appeared only few feet from my Tempest. The breaking of the twigs and the deep murmur indicated that a very large wild boar walked in front of me. I immediately kicked Semi in the sleeping bag so that he could not give the pig a reason for a defensive attack. Well, let me tell you, in that moment they wouldn't get blood from me. In the darkness of the forest, I only saw the silhouette, which after a while certainly assessed that we are not any threat for it and walked peacefully by its own way.
The morning mist brought a slow strike from the end of the deep pit. Slip-D rig with Gigantika found its victim, who decided to find shelter somewhere downstream. Walking to the screaming buzzer, I kept looking around, hoping that I would not meet the hog with whom I had the honor in the evening.
Našťastie jediné prasa, ktoré som v to ráno stretol bolo pokryté šupinami.

Fortunately, the only pig I met that morning was in my landing net, covered by golden scales.
