Haagbeek

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