We have been taking our students on a teambuilding activity to the Ardennes for almost 10 years now, where they climb and hike next to the Ourthe river. This year I decided to take my fly rod and do some fishing while I was waiting for the next group of students.
I caught some small trout and a medium- sized chub fish (kopvoorn, chevaine). However, the biggest fishes I saw were barbel (barbeel). They were lying in groups in a quiet spot next to a rapid. I tried a nymph (because they were not surfacing) but couldn't catch one.
Definitely a place to come back to!
