Fishing near Doetinchem, Gelderland

Doetinchem sits in the Achterhoek region of Gelderland, where the Oude IJssel runs directly through and around the city. The area is classic Dutch lowland river country, with a network of small beeks, weteringen and kolken supplementing the main river. Anglers fish the Oude IJssel itself as well as local waters such as De Markeplas, the Wehlsche Beek, the Beneden Slinge and numerous smaller channels and drainage ditches that thread through the surrounding farmland.
