Nemunas

Nemunas, in Tauragės apskritis, Lithuania, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Nemunas 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.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For Wels catfish

  Fish near structures like fallen trees or bridges, as Wels catfish are ambush predators and like to hide.

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
