Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Wels catfish

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

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
