Talsperre Erletor

Anglers know Talsperre Erletor as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Thüringen, Germany. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Talsperre Erletor is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
