Lakes for fishing

Discover Lakes by country and region - with catches, target fish and methods from the Angelradar community.

Fishing in lakes

Lakes are among the most popular fishing waters. They provide habitat for coarse fish such as carp, tench and bream as well as predators like pike, zander and perch. As still waters they warm up more in summer and invite both bank and lure fishing.

On larger lakes it pays to target drop-offs, weed beds and inflows. Fish are most active early in the morning and at dusk.
