Hohenstief

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

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Northern pike

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

• For Zander

  Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.
