About La Thièle / Zihl
La Thièle / Zihl, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at La Thièle / Zihl is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Common rudd
Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.
- For Wels catfish
Fish near structures like fallen trees or bridges, as Wels catfish are ambush predators and like to hide.
