Best Waters: Top Fishing Spots in Germany

12 September 2024

Fishing in Germany offers incredible experiences for both seasoned anglers and newcomers, and few places are as exciting as the waters explored by professional angler Raik (@raik_lmab). In this article, Raik takes us on a journey through some of the country's finest fishing spots. Prepare for a deep dive into Germany's diverse and rewarding fishing destinations.

Peene River

The Peene is a river in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania that is over 100 km long and flows into the Peenestorm. The Peene is often referred to as the “Amazon of the North” because of its untouched and attractive nature. Its winding bends, bridges, and shipping channels are prime fishing spots, where anglers can target species such as perch, zander, pike, and asp. Wear Aquamaster waders to fully enjoy your fishing experience there.

Lake Kummerow

Lake Kummerow, one of Germany's largest lakes, is home to impressive zander, perch, and large pike. Anglers will find exciting fishing opportunities along the lake's steep drop-offs and in the weed-filled shallows, which are prime spots for targeting these species. Don’t forget to use an insulation layer for warmth, for example, our All Season thermal underwear.

Strelasund and Bodden Around the Island of Rügen

A unique fishing experience, especially in spring, is targeting herring and garfish around the island of Rügen. Numerous spots around the island offer excellent opportunities for catching these species.

Whether using Proguide waders or fishing from a boat in a Thor suit, the shipping lanes are prime locations for hooking fish during this season.
