🌧️ After Heavy Rain – Beware of the Current

• The Age River can become rapid and difficult to navigate after rain.

• Water levels may rise suddenly, washing away belongings or making it hard to move along the bank.

⚡ During a Thunderstorm – Stay Away from the Water!

• The river’s proximity makes anglers a lightning target — especially when using long spinning rods.

• Signs of a storm: low pressure, dark clouds, sudden gusts of wind.

🌬️ Wind and Bushes – Be Careful with Fishing Rods

• Strong wind along the Age River can tangle your line in tree branches.

• Choose open areas, especially for spinning.

🌫️ Fog or Darkness – Protect Yourself and Your Path

• Morning fog is common along the Age River – it makes orientation difficult and increases the risk of stepping into the water.

• Use a headlamp or light if you go out early or late in the day.

❄️ Winter – The River May Be Deceptively Frozen

• Unlike lakes, ice on the Age River is not always even – the current creates thin spots or cracks.

• Make sure the ice is at least 10–12 cm thick before going out with an auger or gear.

🌱 Spring – Cold Water and Slippery Banks

• In early spring, riverbanks can be muddy and slippery – there’s a risk of falling into icy water.

☀️ Summer Heat – Don’t Forget Sun Protection

• Even in forested river sections, UV radiation is active.

• Drink water and wear a hat.
