Tips for anglers
- Check equipment
Check your rod, reel, and line. The line becomes brittle in winter. Replace it if necessary. Check hooks for rust. Sharp hooks increase your catch rate. - Observe bodies of water
In spring, shallow water warms up faster. Fish often stay there first. Pay attention to sunlight and wind direction. - Slow fishing
Fish are still sluggish after winter. Move your bait more slowly than in summer. Less movement often brings more success. - Selecting the right bait
Natural bait such as worms or maggots work well. Small artificial bait is also useful. Prey is usually still small in spring. - Note spawning season
Many fish species are subject to closed seasons. Find out about regional regulations. Respect minimum sizes and closed seasons. - Start early
The morning hours are often successful. The water is calm and the fish are looking for food. - Keep an eye on the weather
Warm days after a cold spell are ideal. After heavy rainfall, the water may be cloudy. In this case, conspicuous bait is better. - Don't forget safety
Shores can be slippery. Wear sturdy shoes. Be careful of cold water. A life jacket is advisable for boat trips.
