Karlsson Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Hi! A fly swinging Swede here. Mostly a trout fanatic but when the water gets to warm for trout (yes, that actually happens here now and then) I turn to other species. Mostly perch. But they’re fun enough to fish for, so sometimes I leave the trout alone and focus on river perch. And the occasional zander. I’m lurking around here because next year I will hopefully be able to travel across the pond again. I’ve been to Alabama (and numerous times to the west for trout) for largemouth, but next year will be a combined fishing/music thing. Me and my better half have been wanting to go to Americana Fest in Nashville, we both fly fish so we’ll bring the rods along. 5 Quote

I've been watching the Zander Pro videos that KanalGratis.se have been releasing on YouTube. They're a lot like walleye here, near as I can tell. 1 Quote

Yeah, KanalGratis seems to have gone global, quite fun! Zander and walleye do look a lot like the same fish. I believe that in the UK they call all these zander/walleye-cousins “pike perch”. Quote
galyonj Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 I got curious and had to go look it up. Turns out that S. vitreus (walleye) and S. lucioperca (zander) are more closely related than I/we had given them credit for. So that's neat. Quote

In early July a river around here opens, it’s closed now due to the zander spawn, with some pretty crazy fishing. You can expect massive numbers of 20” to 27” fish, hopefully I remember to take some pictures. Quote
