Smeltalė

As a stream in Klaipėdos apskritis, Lithuania, Smeltalė 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 Smeltalė 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 Tench

  Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Common rudd

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