Ohaba

Ohaba is a stream flowing through Gorj, Romania. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Ohaba, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

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

• For Mirror carp

• 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.
