Schlingenbach

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

Fishing Techniques

• For European perch

• For Zander
