Skinija

As a stream in Klaipėdos apskritis, Lithuania, Skinija fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Skinija pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Crucian carp

  Use a light float setup and a slow retrieve with lures near weed beds, as Crucian carp are often found in these areas.

• For Sea trout

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to on a given day; Sea trout can be picky.
