Faházas tó, Tokaj

Faházas is part of the Kovács lake complex at Tokaj, and the channel filmed five videos here. The recurring epithet is “the lake of records” — not without reason: the videos include personal bests of twenty-nine and thirty-two kilos, and several other personal records.

The lake runs six swims. The video states it precisely, rod count included: six swims, six rods each, thirty-six rods on the water.

The defining feature of the bed is deep silt — according to the video not just in patches but across essentially the whole lake, except where spots are kept clear for fishing. Finding and hitting the firm areas — or the promising silt transitions — is therefore the central problem here.

Marker buoys and a bait boat are both used for that in the videos. There is one known firm spot with no buoy on it, which can also be found from memory. Wind has a say too: thanks to the steady airflow, some pegs sit in a luckier position than others.

For fish, the videos include one over twenty-three kilos on a feeder rod, and sizes over thirty kilos come up as well.
