About Lesse
As a river in Namur, Belgium, Lesse 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 Lesse 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 Common barbel
Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.
- For Common bleak
Use light tackle and a very small hook (size 18-22) with fine line for better presentation and more bites, especially when fishing for bleak.
- For European chub
When using lures, vary your retrieve speed and direction to trigger strikes. Chub often hold near cover like overhanging branches or submerged logs.
