Fishing near Veenendaal, Utrecht

Veenendaal sits in the Utrecht province, on the edge of the Gelderse Vallei, with the Valleikanaal running directly through the city and the Neder-Rijn just a short distance away. The area is classic Dutch freshwater country: a network of canals, small streams such as the Lunterse Beek and Woudenbergse Grift, and larger rivers within easy reach. Predator fishing — pike, pikeperch and perch — draws particular interest here, alongside coarse fishing for bream, carp and roach on the quieter stretches of water.
