Zander, or pike-perch, 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 initially introduced. Notwithstanding this, 40 years after their introduction, zander are now widely accepted and are regarded by many anglers as almost a cult fish. Revealing the secrets of where and how to catch zander, this helpful guide addresses topics such as zander tackle, baits, rigs, fishing methods, and techniques; how to locate your prey as well as how to land, handle, and photograph your fish; and the zander waters of the Fens, the Warwickshire Avon, the canals of the West Midlands, the Severn, and elsewhere.
