Voralpsee

Voralpsee sits in St. Gallen, Switzerland and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Voralpsee come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• 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 European grayling

  Grayling often hold in deeper runs and pools, so focus your efforts there using a drifting technique to present your bait naturally.
