Ichte

Ichte, in Thüringen, Germany, is a stream where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Ichte 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.

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Brook trout

  Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
