L'Eau Blanche

L'Eau Blanche, in Namur, Belgium, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at L'Eau Blanche is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
