Fishing the Frisian Lakes – A True Dutch Angling Experience
Set off with Dusk Till Dawn Fishing Experience and discover the magic of fishing in the heart of Friesland.
Exploring legendary waters like Sneekermeer, Fluessen, Slotermeer, Tjeukemeer, and even the mighty IJsselmeer.
Your guide, Captain Patrick, is a skilled angler and proud member of the Westin Pro Team, offering years of experience and premium fishing gear to help you chase your trophy catch.
The Frisian Lakes are rich in Zander, Pike, Perch, and Asp, making them ideal for both sport anglers and beginners.
Whether you want to fish calm, shallow lakes or open water with more challenge, this region offers fantastic variety — and breathtaking views along the way.
From peaceful village shorelines to wide, open stretches of water, this is fishing surrounded by pure Dutch nature and culture.
Looking for a single-day trip or a multi-day adventure? With or without kids? Captain Patrick’s got you covered. His stable 18' Oeienbaat boat seats up to 4 passengers and is fully stocked with:
• Westin rods
• Shimano reels including Stella, Twin Power, Vanford, and Tranx
He specializes in casting soft and hard baits, but depending on fish activity, vertical jigging and dropshotting are always great alternatives.
What to bring:
Snacks & drinks
Sunglasses, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing
A valid fishing license (Vispas) – easy to buy online (Patrick can help)
Whether you’re exploring iconic spots like Sneekermeer or venturing onto the vast IJsselmeer, every trip is customized to your goals and experience.
Friesland’s finest predators are waiting. Your dream catch is just a cast away. Get in touch and let’s plan your trip today!

We had an amazing day fishing on the IJsselmeer with Captain Patrick Van Der Wal of Dusk Till Dawn Fishing. Patrick is a skilled, professional guide who not only put us on big Perch, but also made the experience fun and memorable for the whole family—he was especially fantastic with the kids, keeping them engaged and excited throughout the trip. The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped, and Patrick’s easygoing style made the day feel effortless. If you’re visiting the Netherlands and want a top-tier fishing experience, Dusk Till Dawn Fishing on the IJsselmeer is the way to go. Highly recommended!
