Belgium fishes year-round, though the official close season applies to some species on certain waters. Carp fishing is at its best from May through October, with warm summer nights producing the most consistent action. The Ardennes region offers quality trout fishing from April through September (subject to regional rules). Pike and perch on the large Walloon reservoirs (Lac de la Plate-Taille, Lac d'Eau d'Heure) fish well from October through February. For canal fishing, chub, roach and bream are active throughout the year.
