Winter is coming to an end and spring is slowly waking, and with it our lakes — and most importantly: the competition season is approaching.

Behind us are calm winter days by Barutana and Omladinsko Lake, when nature falls silent for a moment and the water "rests." That is exactly why winter photos have a special charm — they show the lake at its quietest, without crowds, without noise, just ice, fog, and tracks along the shore. Those images are a reminder of how precious this water is and how much it changes throughout the year.

As temperatures rise, preparations begin as well — trail maintenance, workdays, planning fish restocking, and coordinating all the details that make a difference on competition day. Each step leads toward the goal: that the competition runs smoothly and that we all feel proud of our water and our association.

We invite the members and friends of the association to follow announcements in the coming weeks, as information about preparation dates and the competition itself will be coming soon. Until then — enjoy the winter scenes of the lake we share and protect.
