But perch, eel and bream together with the tench are the angler's favourites. In these regions, where the little red cabin near the lake is so often the visitors prime objective, the angler also seeks his specimen fish. Even international finals in fishing competitions have been held here. A zander may often weigh between 11 and 18 pounds and is rather strong. Whereas a pike of the same weight is even more tenacious.
Steel trace is recommended closest to the bait.
Winter fishing Just as essential are spare warm clothes if you are tempted by night fishing as late as September or October. During the elk-hunting period the big pikes return to the shallower parts of the lakes, enabling fishing from the shore. It continues to tempt us with cast upon cast until the ice starts to form in December or January. For many people this is a family affair. And the pike for dinner is brought in with great hoo-ha.
