Holvense Beek

Flowing through Limburg, Belgium, Holvense Beek is a stream that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Holvense Beek hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Holvense Beek can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Round goby

  Gobies are bottom dwellers; fish your bait or lure close to the bottom, using a slow retrieve or vertical jigging technique.

• For Northern pike

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

• For Grass carp

  Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.
