Râul Mare

Râul Mare is a river flowing through Alba, Romania. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Râul Mare, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For European chub

• 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.
