A hello from bass-less scandinavia

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.

    Fishing for zander looks like it'd be pretty rad. 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.

    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”.

    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.

    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.
