If you can speak French, aim to stress that you have absolutely no intention of fishing for pike, zander and perch. |
Although the water may look well coloured and in turmoil, fish like the zander are able see the slightest movement and you will catch fish. |
These slim bodied fish are easy for the zander to handle and are also the dominant fish species in their favoured environments. |
There are many different makes and models of reel, which can be used for this type of zander fishing. |
Now I have to admit, I had never caught a European zander, although I had caught their close colonial cousins, the walleye. |
The zander has the rough feel and spiked dorsal fins of the perch, protecting small fish from predation, particularly from pike and herons. |
