Fishing sometimes needs to be diluted, because fishing actually is a complex process of preparation: firstly mind is constantly occupied with planning, looking through maps and weather forecasts, and selection of fishing destination, and also taking yet another decision about the aimed fish species, selection of lures, equipment and aids. Not to forget also boat things and water safety – the list of planning could go on and on. Oh yes, don’t forget to take the official “Release the Mother!” measurement trough in boat, phone needs to be charged and landing net and hook pincers have to be at hand. In short – it is not a walk on a beach. If you want results – there are no insignificant or small things in fishing.

Often also after all the struggle with preparation, the underwater crowd is stubborn and is not interested in the selected lure or bait. Many fishermen know the feeling of exhaustion after larger fishing “marathons”, and you lose a sense purpose and how wouldn't you, if you have put in so much work and time? In such moments – fishing needs to be “diluted”, thoughts have to be turned to something else.

“Release the Mother!” in this year's stories in TV show “Makšķerē ar Olti” has told the story of Latvian record pike and, to relax one's mind, this time it needs to be turned in a different direction.

“Release the Mother!”, of course, is mainly about fishing, but, to reach the dream about more fish abundant waters – knowledge is the only way. Association “Release the Mother!” in the project held last year “Learn and educate together with “Release the Mother!”” educated fishermen in the banks of LVM Lake Kaņieris and LVM Lake Lielauce. What can be more useful than to give your mind a rest by gaining new knowledge? During the whole project last year we listened to 15 popular science lectures starting with “ichthyology in fast-track mode” and finishing with cooking masterclass (all video lectures can be seen HERE).

The academic themes were very different, but all of them in some way were related to fishing as such. The effect of colonies of great cormorants of fish abundance in LVM lakes and the meaning of ichthyological restrictions in lake management were the hottest topics that interested anglers last year. This year we invited to a little spin fishing session with “Learn and educate” lecturer, ornithologist Kārlis Millers. The research of great cormorants in LVM Lake Kanieris takes place with the support of JSC “Latvijas valsts meži”.

In the 4th season of “Release the Mother!” viewers will get three more stories about topics that are important for society and for fisheries. Meanwhile, the trophy fish contest – in full speed!
