Zander - Stizostedion lucioperca
Anyone who hasn't had the chance to catch a zander in the
UK really should consider trying for these sporting fish.
The zander season runs from about September onwards, although
early season is generally the best time because they are
sensitive to angling pressure. The zander predate on the
millions of bleak in the river, and unsuprisingly this is
the best bait. Dead bleak are usually fished on the famous
"Drachkovitch" rig which is similar to a jig with
a dead fish. Twisters and spinners are also effective methods.
Zander in Spain grow extremely large, and fish of up to
10 kg (22.5lbs) are occassionally captured.
