It's nearly sure that the Euro will be on Ulga canal in Opole. 95%
We haven't got official announcement, but we know that our angling organization (called PZW) decided to organize the championship in Opole. It will be officially announced soon.
Ulga canal is 35-40 meters wide. Avarage depth is about 1,5-4 meters. Bottom is flat, thick and sandy. Bank is straight, covered with grass.
You can espect mainly roaches and breams (sometimes really big - max 3 kg), you can also catch ides, bleaks and perches
The main method is 13m long pole, but some anglers catch fish on more distances: 7, 9, 11. They jump between 2-3 swims, and have got fish for all 3 hours, without brakes. But the main method is the full long pole.
The venue usually flows slowly, but it is regulated with locks, and it can accelerate. You have to prepare yourself for every situation, and it's a good idea to take rigs from 0,5 to 15 gram. The lock can be move during the champioschip, so that the flow can change at every moment! Always prepare big rig on one of your top kits, just in case...
The winners usualy catch roaches and breams, but sometimes or in some places its hard to catch these fish. Then you have to rescue yourself with perches and bleaks near the bank, over the stones on a bottom.
Here you can see some pictures from this place:
