The Netherlands is a year-round fishing destination. Carp fishing peaks from May through September, with the shallow polders and large pits producing outstanding sport. Pike and perch are at their best from October through February when water temperatures drop and fish move into predictable areas. Zander fishing on the big waterways (IJsselmeer, Hollands Diep) is excellent throughout autumn and winter. For summer carp sessions, the Dutch clay pits and reservoirs hold fish in the 20–40+ lb range with relatively low angling pressure compared to the UK.
