A fishing day can take place on several different rivers. Sometimes it is even possible to fish on more than one water in a day. It is also possible to fish on your own water to take a fresh look at the possibilities there. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
The Maas and all its connecting waters are very suitable for predator fishing and have good stocks of pike, zander, perch and asp.

Haringvliet
This former sea arm starts where the Hollandsch Diep ends and finally runs into the North sea at the Haringvlietdam. Het Spui runs into the Haringvliet. The Haringvliet is a very good zander water with little commercial boat traffic.
Species: zander, perch, asp and smaller numbers of pike.
Hollands Diep
The River Amer and the River Nieuwe-Merwede join at Lage Zwaluwe and there form the River Hollandsch Diep. The river the Dordtsche Kil is connected to the Hollandsch Diep at Moerdijk. The River Hollandsch Diep is very busy with commercial boats but there is a lot of space to fish because of its width. Hollandsch Diep is notable for good numbers of zander.
Species: zander, perch, asp and smaller numbers of pike.
Volkerak
The Volkerak is situated between the Hollandsch Diep at the Volkerak locks and the Grevelingendam. The waters Schelde-Rijnkanaal, the Dintel and the Steenbergsche Vliet run into the Volkerak.
The Volkerak is famous for its big zander and huge pike.
Species: big zander, huge pike and perch
Oude Maas
This river starts where the Beneden-Merwede ends and where the river Noord runs towards Rotterdam. This river has side rivers like the Dordtsche Kil and Het Spui. The Oude Maas is a very busy river with a lot of commercial boat traffic. It holds good numbers of zander.
Species: zander, perch, asp and smaller numbers of pike.
Merwede
The Merwede is connected to the Waal and in earlier days was also connected to the Maas. After the Bergsche Maas had been dug, the river was cut off at Andel. The Merwede is a fast flowing river with a lot of commercial boat traffic and groynes.
Species: Zander, perch and asp with pike in smaller numbers.
Dordtsche Kil
The Dordtsche Kil is a tidal River that connects the River Oude Maas to the River Hollandsch Diep. The Dordtsche Kil is a very busy river for commercial boats, often you see large sea-going ships travelling to Rotterdam or Antwerp. The Dordtsche Kil holds good numbers of zander.
Species: zander, perch, asp and smaller numbers of pike.
Amer
The River Amer is connected to the Bergsche Maas. The Amer starts at Geertruidenberg where the water of the River the Donge joins the water of the Bergsche Maas. The Amer ends into the River Hollandsch Diep. On the north the Amer is connected to National park De Bieschbos. In summer especially it can be quite busy with pleasure boats but this stretch has a very good stock of all predators.
Species: pike, perch, zander and asp.
Maas
The part of the Maas I fish on runs from the locks of Lith to where the Bergsche Maas runs into the river Amer. At Heusden the Maas splits: the Afgedamde Maas was once the connection with the river Merwede. Nowadays the water of the Maas runs west via the Bergsche Maas into the river Amer. The Maas is known for its very big pike but perch and zander can be caught in good numbers too.
Species: pike, perch, zander and asp.
