About Linth
Running through St. Gallen, Switzerland, Linth is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Linth hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- 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.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
