Skals Å

Running through Region Midtjylland, Denmark, Skals Å 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 Skals Å 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.

  Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
