Also international finals in fishing competitions have been held here. Even if most visitors prefer spinning, using ultra-light spinning gear or bait casting to challenge the wily pike or zander. I would suggests changing to a stronger leader than is usually used. 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.
They just hit, unpredictably, wildly and in violent attacks - without compassion. If you just let the fly float, then after some quick jerks, let it rest again. The pike usually hit when you again start taking in the line. This is also the fly-fishing for rather shallow water, not more than 3 meters deep.
