Borgdorfer See

Tucked into Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, Borgdorfer See is a lake 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 Borgdorfer See should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For Common carp

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