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 Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
