Bistensee

Bistensee sits in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Bistensee come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Wels catfish

  Fish near structures like fallen trees or bridges, as Wels catfish are ambush predators and like to hide.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
