About Pielinen

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For European grayling

  Grayling often hold in deeper runs and pools, so focus your efforts there using a drifting technique to present your bait naturally.

• For Ide

  Use a slow, steady retrieve with spinners and crankbaits, especially when the water is cold, to give the Ide a chance to strike.
