About Sihlsee

Tucked into Schwyz, Switzerland, Sihlsee is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Sihlsee should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Northern pike

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

  • For Brook trout

    Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.

  • For Lake trout

    Target deep water near structure or drop-offs, especially during warmer months, and vary your retrieve until you find what works.
