Fishing around North West Holland - Noord-Scharwoude and Langedijk
Situated just north of Amsterdam and within easy reach from your ferry port of arrival, this area boasts an extensive network of both large and small canals, along with some fantastic still waters. The interconnected waterways are rich in bream, roach, hybrids, tench, and carp, offering excellent fishing opportunities. With easy access and a variety of fishing methods—pole, feeder, and waggler—these waters cater to anglers of all skill levels.

Noord-Scharwoude, in particular, features well-stocked waters set against a scenic backdrop, providing a rewarding fishing experience. The area offers excellent accessibility, comfortable swims, and picturesque surroundings, making it a prime destination for pleasure fishing. A diverse range of species, including bream, hybrids, roach, rudd, tench, and carp, can be found in abundance across these waters.

David Watts from Boland Groundbaits recently returned from a visit to Holland, where he stayed in the accommodation at De Groot Vliet and says:
"There is a very good tackle shop in Weverershoof, only 2km from the accommodation, it is very well stocked and sells fresh baits (maggots, casters worms etc.) and also frozen dead baits for pike fishing. The guys in the shop will give you a local map and point you in the right direction of where to fish etc.

The accommodation was 1st class, with everything you need for a self-catering holiday. There's a nice area to sit outside, television if required and parking. On site at the back of the chalets is a vast lake that I fished, after pre-baiting and caught well, it is easily accessible and I fished from the platforms. I also fished a canal, about 1km from the digs and I parked behind my peg and had 136lb of fish that day in about 6hrs fishing. There are a number of restaurants in the town and a hotel about 500 metres from the digs that serves food every night. There is also a cafe on site selling food and coffee.

Overall my impression of the area was very good for people wanting a nice quite break with plenty of very good, easily accessible fishing locations. There is also a Carp lake on site, but I never got to fish it, but witnessed other anglers catching Double Figure Carp!"
