Fishing near Arnhem, Gelderland

Arnhem sits in Gelderland where the Neder-Rijn runs directly through the city, placing anglers within metres of one of the Netherlands' most productive river fisheries. The wider area is threaded with major waterways — the Waal, Geldersche IJssel, Linge and several canals — making this one of the more varied freshwater fishing regions in the country. Predator fishing for pike and pikeperch draws consistent attention, while the rivers also hold strong populations of bream, roach and carp.
