Fishing near Tiel, Gelderland

Tiel sits in the Betuwe, the fruit-growing river island of Gelderland wedged between the Waal and the Linge. The Waal — one of the main Rhine distributaries — runs just north of the city, while the quieter Linge winds through the polder landscape to the south. Together they give local anglers a choice between a powerful, fast-flowing river and a more intimate, slower-moving waterway, with predator fishing on both being the main draw.
