About Rhein
Rhein, in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Rhein 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.

Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.
