My favorite rivers: Narew and Orz

Two rivers hold a special place in my fishing adventures: the wide, gentle Narew and the smaller, livelier Orz.

1. The Narew River is broad and slow, offering many peaceful spots where the water hardly moves. I love fishing there at dawn or dusk, when the river seems half-asleep. Bream, roach, and pike are common catches. My favourite place is by a small bridge near my village. Sometimes I fish with a feeder rod and groundbait; other times I float fish with corn or worms.

2. The Orz River, by contrast, is narrow and fast-flowing. Its waters are clean and perfect for spinning. Perch are my usual catch there, and I enjoy using small lures like spinners or soft rubber fish. The Orz is more playful, more dynamic – a river full of surprises.

In summer, I plan to visit with friends. Even if we catch nothing, we will share sandwiches, laughter, and the simple joy of being outdoors.

It is light, easy to carry, and ideal for river fishing. The spinning reel is straightforward and perfect for learning. 2.       Fishing line – I usually fish with a 0.25 mm line. It is flexible yet strong enough for perch, pike, and even carp. 3.       Hooks and sinkers – I keep hooks of various sizes. Small ones work best for fish like roach or perch. I also carry small lead sinkers to help my bait sink to the right depth. 4.       Floats – A float is a fisherman’s eye in the water. I prefer small plastic floats – bright, simple, and very effective. 5.       Bait...

Date: 25. July 2025 Author: Filip Bielarczyk Spinning Spinning is a more active way of fishing. I cast the lure and move it through the water to tempt predators like pike or perch. The constant movement keeps things exciting, and it’s perfect for fast-flowing rivers where fish are quick and aggressive.
