At lunchtime it was still raining but thankfully much more gently than earlier. After lunch we had a chat with a small group of Ukrainian soldiers who are training there and through their interpreter I now know that there are trout in the streams in the Ukrainian mountains, sadly I can't ever see me fishing there.
Later in the afternoon I finally managed to catch a wild trout of about ten ounces which was swiftly returned so at least the day wasn't a blank. The compensation came in the landscape, being by the river and I met some lovely people. You can't really ask for more so now to get down to planning another visit.
