01-02-2026: Today it was a lot colder than yesterday. This was immediately noticeable from the activity of the pike. Luckily, I still managed to catch one.


23-02-2026: It looks like spring is finally going to arrive. Next week, they are predicting temperatures around 17 degrees Celsius. Since the water temperature is still quite low, it’s really only the pike that are still very active. But there is another option: fishing for sturgeon. Now, in the wild, there are hardly any sturgeon left swimming in the Netherlands, but there are plenty of ponds where you can fish for sturgeon for a fee. So today we spent a few hours fishing at Adventure Lake in Enschede.
