Fishing near Nijmegen, Gelderland

Nijmegen sits on the Waal in Gelderland, where the river bends through the oldest city in the Netherlands. The Waal is the centrepiece of local fishing, running right past the old city centre, but the Maas-Waal kanaal, the Spiegelwaal, and surrounding vijvers and watergangen round out a varied freshwater scene that draws coarse anglers, carp specialists, and predator fishers alike.
