About River Leven
River Leven, in Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at River Leven 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 plaice
When bait fishing, try adding a small, colourful bead just above the hook to attract plaice; they are sight feeders.
- For Atlantic mackerel
When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.
- For Ballan wrasse
Ballan wrasse often inhabit rocky areas, so use a slightly heavier weight to get your bait down quickly and avoid snags.
