Fishing near Maastricht, Limburg

Maastricht sits on the Maas in the southern tip of Limburg, where the river forms the backbone of the local fishing scene. The city is flanked by the Julianakanaal and the Zuid-Willemsvaart, while smaller streams such as the Jeker and Geul wind through the surrounding hills. Predator fishing for pike, pikeperch and perch draws consistent attention, alongside strong coarse fishing for carp, bream and roach across these varied waters.
