Pretty specialised area to devote a whole book to but having never tried for zander on the canal system might be more to it than I think.

If you want to find some good information or reading on Zander, just substitute that for Walleye. Pretty much the same species... tons of material out there. I have quite a few books from the States and they've been surprisingly relevant to the fishing we have over here, especially given how widespread the species has now become... e.g. drains, rivers, lakes, pits, canals and reservoirs.

I reckon there's very little if anything the Americans haven't covered in regards to Walleye, which as you say are basically Zander.Sebas wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15 2021 23:45 -Judging a book by it's cover, so to speak... he's holding a very average size fish over some concrete, I'll leave it thereCould be interesting, could be s**t

Joking aside, even if he's not caught a string of big zander or even just a good number of doubles, for those who fish canals it could be an interesting insight into zander fishing those waters. It's about the only water type I have not fished, ergo, not caught zeds from.Mark Phillips wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18 2021 20:20 -> If you want to find some good information or reading on Zander, just substitute that for Walleye.Sebas wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15 2021 23:45 -Judging a book by it's cover, so to speak... he's holding a very average size fish over some concrete, I'll leave it thereCould be interesting, could be s**t

Not much trolling at all, well, unless they fished on the inland seas, like Lake Erie. As to their habitat, they live in the same range of waters as we have in the UK, i.e. rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc. Slightly darker in colour than the zander we are used to catching and run smaller too. I showed them pictures of my biggest three zander and they were rubbing their eyes! The methods they use are no different to what works for zander, except they're still a few steps ahead of us in a number of ways. I took one of the IT guys from Chicago out for a day with me on the lures and until he explained what he was doing, I was getting my butt kicked. Yeah, we can learn a lot from Walleye anglers.Mark Phillips wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18 2021 20:20 -> If you want to find some good information or reading on Zander, just substitute that for Walleye.Sebas wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15 2021 23:45 -Judging a book by it's cover, so to speak... he's holding a very average size fish over some concrete, I'll leave it thereCould be interesting, could be s**t

What sort of waters do walleye thrive in? Judging just on what the online tackle shops over there sell, a lot of walleye fishing seems to be trolling, often with Dipsy Divers, so I guess the waters must usually be big enough to troll and deep enough to need Dipsy Divers.
