Pienia

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

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For Ide

  Use a slow, steady retrieve with spinners and crankbaits, especially when the water is cold, to give the Ide a chance to strike.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
