How to use this ranking
The order is a map-planning ranking, not a claim about today's fish population. It favors larger mapped waters and gives survey-backed contours a three-times data-quality boost. Agency population surveys, current regulations, access and recent conditions should make the final decision.

When to fish european eel in Lithuania
- Spring 5–20 ft — Check the current eel prohibition before fishing; where legal, connected warm margins are the starting habitat.
- Summer 6–28 ft — Eels move after dark along the cover-to-soft-bottom edge, especially after warm rain.
- Fall 10–38 ft — Cooling water draws mature fish toward outlet routes; conservation closures take priority over any map guidance.
- Winter 18–50 ft — Winter activity is minimal; this is generally not a practical or appropriate target season.
