Zander Fishing

Covers zander tackle, baits, rigs, fishing methods and techniques. This title considers how to locate your prey as well as how to land, handle and photograph your fish. It provides a guide to the zander waters of the Fens and fishing for this species in this area. It analyses stillwater zander fishing, lure fishing and sea bait. Zander, or pike-perch as they are sometimes called, have been shrouded in controversy ever since they were first introduced into Britain's rivers and drains in 1963. They were soon blamed for the decline in fish stocks in the Fens, where they were initally introduced. Notwithstanding this, forty years after their introduction, zander are now widely accepted and are regarded by many anglers as almost a cult fish.
