Gers

As a river in Hessen, Germany, Gers fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Gers pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

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.

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

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
