Bostalsee

Bostalsee, in Saarland, Germany, is the kind of reservoir where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Bostalsee usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

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 White bream

  Use a light line and small hook to avoid spooking the fish; white bream can be quite cautious.

• For Common bleak

  Use light tackle and a very small hook (size 18-22) with fine line for better presentation and more bites, especially when fishing for bleak.
