Breitenburger Kanal

Breitenburger Kanal, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is a canal where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Breitenburger Kanal 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.
