Explore Premier Pike Fishing in Biesbosch National Park with UFX Fishing Guides
Welcome to UFX Fishing Guides, where we offer unparalleled fishing adventures in the stunning Biesbosch National Park. This pristine natural reserve, located in the heart of the Netherlands, is a haven for anglers seeking the thrill of catching predator fish. With its extensive waterways, lush landscapes, and abundant fish stocks, Biesbosch is a premier destination for those looking to target pike.
The Scenic Beauty and Rich Biodiversity of Biesbosch National Park
Biesbosch National Park is renowned for its vast network of rivers, creeks, and shallow lakes, which create a unique and diverse aquatic ecosystem. The park's enchanting landscape features dense reed beds, expansive willow forests, and tranquil water channels, providing not only a picturesque backdrop but also prime fishing grounds. This idyllic setting, combined with healthy fish populations, makes Biesbosch a top destination for predator anglers.
Pike Fishing: The Crown Jewel of Biesbosch
The Biesbosch is particularly famous for its robust pike population. Our guided fishing trips focus primarily on catching these formidable predators, offering you the chance to land impressive specimens in a serene and scenic environment. Pike in the Biesbosch are known for their size and strength, providing an exhilarating challenge for any angler.
Techniques: Trolling and Casting
We employ a combination of trolling and casting techniques to maximize your chances of catching pike. Trolling involves using artificial lures, including small Spro hardbaits, chatterbaits, and larger softbaits and swimbaits. This method allows us to cover extensive areas of water efficiently, helping to locate active pike, which often hide around the park’s many shallow weed beds.
Casting, on the other hand, offers a more hands-on and engaging fishing experience. We target pike by casting lures into likely holding spots, such as the edges of weed beds and submerged structures. This approach requires precision and skill, with the possibility of witnessing a pike strike your lure right before your eyes.
Seasonal Hot Spots for Prime Fishing
In the summer and autumn, the large shallow weed beds become hot spots for pike fishing. These areas, with depths barely exceeding one meter, provide excellent cover and hunting grounds for pike. Our guide, Thom Prüst, expertly navigates these waters, using his extensive knowledge of the area to find the best fishing spots.
As the weather cools in early winter and spring, we combine casting with fishing for pike using advanced technology like the Garmin LiveScope. This innovative tool allows us to see pike in real-time, even in shallow waters as little as 1.5 meters deep. The sight of a pike approaching and striking a large softbait directly under your feet is an adrenaline-pumping experience that few other fishing methods can match.
Perch: The Bonus Catch
While pike are our primary target, Biesbosch is also home to an abundance of perch. These aggressive sight hunters thrive in the park’s clear waters and varied underwater terrain. Perch fishing provides a rewarding challenge and adds variety to your fishing adventure. We often catch perch as a side catch while targeting pike, especially when using smaller crankbaits and chatterbaits.

One of the many advantages of fishing in Biesbosch is its sheltered environment.

The park’s protected waterways allow us to continue fishing under virtually any circumstance, ensuring that your trip is never disrupted by wind or rough conditions.
