Water Assembly festival traditionally held in September in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) became one of the brightest events of the season in the region

It is the fifth time the Museum of the World Ocean has made an impressive show on the river Pregol embankment. This year the motto of the festival was “Ships connect the shores”.
Dancers presented their dance of the World showing flags of various countries.

Visitors got to know culture and traditions of countries worldwide by watching folk dance and listening to folk songs on the main stage as well as trying some treats from different corners of the world.

The parade of historical boats both from the museum and the neighboring Baltic states as well as sailing and motor yachts became the most spectacular part of the event. Vityaz Mile, a rowing competition among nine adult and four junior teams, added to emotional element of the holiday.

Whenever a spinning reel is purchased, on the packaging it says what weight it is: ultra light, light, medium, or heavy. You want the weight of the reel to match the weight of the rod, and you want the weight to match the type and size of fish that your fishing for. For example, if you’re fishing for trout in small rivers and streams, you want to use an ultra light spinning reel and rod. Light action would be the heaviest in trout fishing situations such as these. This is also a great reason to not buy combination sets with the rod and spinning reel sold together. In most cases these combination sets arte made with very cheap rods and spinning reels. It’s better to purchase the two separately, so that you can get the feel and balance that you desire.

The construction of spinning reel is very important to your fishing success. It’s important to choose a reel that is durably constructed so you’ll be able to get years of use out of it. To test the construction of the reel, look at how the parts are assembled. Everything should feel solid, with no flimsy parts, and the materials should feel heavy duty. When the reel is in motion, the action should feel smooth and comfortable. Here you will get more about the walleye board.

Spinning reels are a helpful tool that every avid fisher should have in their arsenal. These are so popular among fishers of all skill levels because they are very lightweight, intuitive, and easy to use. However, not all spinning reels are created equal. Since this type of reel is such a crucial part of the fishing process, it’s important to find the best spinning reel on the market. Here are some tips and tricks to help you find the best one for your needs.

Our friends from the Baltic states became special participants of the festival.

And the kurenas, a sot boat, that came from Klaipeda took an honorable place in the parade. It was a hard route for colleagues from the Lithuanian Sea Museum to get to Kaliningrad along the waterways.

Bosun’s Store, an antique fair on the embankment of the Museum of the World Ocean with workshops, boat models, concerts and cafes, started while the boats were ploughing the river Pregol.

Płetwal Polish Diving Club demonstrated a true show by submerging in a historical diving suite and local extreme sportsmen made it in an opposite way – they made unbelievable rollovers on a flyboard over the water.

Lithuanian and Polish friends entertained the visitors with their workshops – guests from the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk taught everybody how to make ropes and rigging and colleagues from the Lithuanian Sea Museum helped visitors to make small paper boats.

But the staff of the Museum of the World Ocean themselves gave lots of interesting activities too – making sea knots, telling about fisherman’s work and various workshops and quizzes.

This year the geography of the holiday involved not only Lithuania and Poland but far Japan as well. A delegation that came to the opening ceremony for Blooming Sakura History exhibition also attended Water Assembly festival.

The holiday was finished with fireworks over the towers of the Friedrichsburg Gate, a museum branch located on the opposite river bank. According to preliminary estimation, about 10 000 people attended the events.

Water Assembly turned into an impressive and inimitable holiday, one of the leading events in the region over the years. Event that unites countries and their dwellers.
