Forggensee

Tucked into Bayern, Germany, Forggensee 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 Forggensee should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common carp

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

• For Common bream

  Bream are often bottom feeders, so use a bait that presents well on the lake or riverbed, and pre-bait the area you plan to fish.

• For White sturgeon

  Focus on fishing near the bottom in deep holes or channels where sturgeon tend to congregate, using a heavy weight to keep your bait in the strike zone.
