Hattsteinweiher

Anglers know Hattsteinweiher as one of the lesser-trafficked ponds of Hessen, Germany. The standard playbook on a pond 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 Hattsteinweiher is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
