About River Calder
Running through England, United Kingdom, River Calder is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at River Calder hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques
- For European plaice
When bait fishing, try adding a small, colourful bead just above the hook to attract plaice; they are sight feeders.
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Common barbel
Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.
