Fishing near Emmen, Drenthe

Emmen sits in the southeastern corner of Drenthe, a province shaped by peat canals, moorland streams and former bog cuttings. The city is surrounded by a dense network of canals and small waterways — the Oranjekanaal, Weerdingerkanaal, Stads-Compascuumkanaal, Catovaart and Noordelijke Hoofdvaart among them — along with plas waters such as the Stobbenplas. This lowland canal country is classic Dutch coarse-fishing territory, with pike, perch, bream and roach the mainstay catches across the region.
