Fishing near Kampen, Overijssel

Kampen sits at the point where the IJssel broadens and transitions from a classic river into an open network of waterways. South of the city the IJssel still runs with current, groynes and readable structure; closer to town it widens and calms before flowing into the Ketelmeer. From there the route continues toward the Randmeeren and, further out, the IJsselmeer — giving boat anglers an unusually wide range of water types within a single day on the water.
