Moesa

As a river in Ticino, Switzerland, Moesa fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Moesa pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.

• 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.
