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 tench in Lithuania
- Spring 2–10 ft — Start on the warmest sheltered weed flat or its first depth break, especially where soft bottom meets new growth.
- Summer 3–12 ft — Fish small clearings in vegetation with a bait settled on bottom; avoid repeatedly recasting into the same pocket.
- Fall 6–18 ft — Follow the last green weed edge toward adjacent soft-bottom depth as temperatures fall.
- Winter 12–30 ft — Tench are largely inactive; if targeted, use a tiny stationary bait on deep soft bottom.
