Vinkeveense Plassen – Chalet

The Vinkeveense Plassen
The fish stock is very diverse. Besides common carp, mirror carp and grass carp, you’ll also find a large stock of roach, bream, tench, perch, pike and pike-perch at the Vinkeveense Plassen. It’s definitely not easy water, partly due to the plant growth, crayfish and clear water. It’s very important that you spend enough time searching for spots where you can best place your bait. A water scope is certainly a handy tool that really shouldn’t be missing from your equipment. This way you can see exactly where your bait lands. Precisely in that bare spot between the weeds, or on the edge of the mussel bank under the overhanging tree.

It can get quite busy in summer with boats coming and going, especially in nice weather! It’s best to set out your lines during the quieter moments. Don’t forget to bring a top weight as this is a must due to the recreational traffic.

Spectacular fight
Yet there’s nothing better than experiencing a fight on open water. Usually ancient and enormously strong common and mirror carp that demand the utmost from your rod. Following the fish with your boat to prevent getting stuck. The rod over the edge of the boat with the tip in the water with a slowly ticking clutch. The boat moves along with the hard-fighting fish! From the depths you see the first shadow of your opponent appear. The image of that powerhouse that’s been pulling you across the water for 10 minutes or longer becomes increasingly clear. Until the fish finally gives up and slowly slides over the landing net cord. A fantastic adventure!! That’s the reward of a successful fishing session at the Vinkeveense Plassen.

Arrival and departure times
You can buy the right fishing permits at the local fishing tackle shop. If the fishing tackle shop is closed, you can also get your fishing permit at Hotel Borger, located opposite the fishing tackle shop.

Arrival and departure times are by arrangement. This is due to the bridges that are closed at certain times. You’ll have contact with the owner about this before arrival. You’ll be picked up at the parking area with a large boat to load all your fishing gear and transport it to the Campingpod XL.
