L'Elnon

L'Elnon cuts through Hauts-de-France, Belgium and offers classic stream fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at L'Elnon — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For White bream

  Use a light line and small hook to avoid spooking the fish; white bream can be quite cautious.

• For Tench

  Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.

• For Northern pike

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