Bornhöveder See

Bornhöveder See 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 Bornhöveder See come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.
