Groningen province has an extensive canal and drainage network running from the city to the Groningen coast. The Lauwersmeer — a former sea inlet turned freshwater lake — is one of the most scenic venues in the north, holding Pike, Carp and Bream. Night fishing permissions are among the most permissive in the Netherlands.
