Zander in the Dark

This book is part 9 (of 15) in the natur-fiske series. A complete guide to fishing and spending a nature holiday in Sweden.

I have done research and fished all year round to figure out the zander's feeding times and feeding habits. I have also fished around the clock, something which this book examines. From the middle of the 20th century, zander fishing was carried out rowing or trolling at night, usually using red and white HI-LO-wobblers as baits. The general idea was that zander only hunted at night. To find out if zander even today feed during these times, I "forced" myself to fish in the dark both in my boat and on the ice.

Today, with more and more effective methods and baits, we know that it is possible to get zander to bite even during the day and the interest in night fishing has decreased. My fishing experience suggests that if you fish in low light and at night instead of only during the day, you would catch more zander.

Read this book and take part in my efforts. If you get crazy ideas, it can get you into problems and that was the case for me as you’ll read in this book.
