Fonds de Leffe

Flowing through Namur, Belgium, Fonds de Leffe is a stream that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Fonds de Leffe hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Fonds de Leffe 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 Common barbel

  Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.

• 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.
