The Bergsche Maas is a significant river in the Noord-Brabant province of the southern Netherlands, forming the western continuation of the Maas as it splits at Heusden and flows toward the Amer and ultimately the Hollands Diep. As a rain-fed river, the Bergsche Maas experiences naturally variable water levels throughout the year, with flows rising and falling in response to rainfall across its catchment. The river offers a diverse and productive fishery, attracting anglers from across the Netherlands and neighboring countries, including UK anglers who find Noord-Brabant conveniently accessible within three hours of the Channel Tunnel via Belgium.
