Crveno jezero

Tucked into Splitsko-dalmatinska županija, Croatia, Crveno jezero is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Crveno jezero should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

• For Painted comber

  Use a slow retrieve and light tackle when fishing for Painted comber, as they are not particularly strong fighters but require enticing presentation.

• For Northern pike
