Otterbach

Flowing through Baden-Württemberg, Germany, Otterbach is a stream that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Otterbach hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Otterbach can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
