Pike, zander, sea trout and catfish
Northern Europe is predator country: big pike in the brackish bays of Rügen and the Finnish archipelago, zander in the Dutch delta and Lake Balaton, and sea trout along the Baltic coasts of Germany and Poland.
The Alpine lakes are known for whitefish, char and lake trout, the Traun for grayling on the fly, and the Danube Delta for giant wels catfish.
Rules: every country has its own license, most waters need a local permit, and nature reserves have zones closed to fishing.
On the bay, in the mangroves or on the ocean, the everyday struggles get left at the dock. For those few hours, it's just you, the water and peace.
