Hejő

Running through Alföld és Észak, Hungary, Hejő is the kind of stream that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Hejő hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• For Black bullhead

  Fish near the bottom in areas with structure like weeds or submerged logs, as black bullheads are bottom feeders that prefer cover.

• For Common roach

  When fishing for roach, use light tackle and fine lines for better bite detection.

• For Pumpkinseed

  Use light tackle, such as an ultralight rod and reel with 4-6 pound test line, for maximum sensitivity and fun while fishing for pumpkinseeds.
