Nice Mick. I have never even seen one let alone caught one. I doubt we have them up here.

This might help those interested in fishing there, to far away for me.

Mine was a Trent fish Mike, are'nt there plenty in the Severn?

Actually the very, very first Zander I caught there was on double red maggot when I was trying for one of the big roach. It was about the size of a gudgeon. I had 3-4 like this which prompted me to go back and fish the main lake with proper bait/gear.

You could always spend your summer holidays in the Marais Poitevin just east of La Rochelle. The fenland drains have lots of zander in them as well as gibels to over 4lb, mullet and rudd. Its a great place for bird watching too. I don't get the zander thing, but the carassins fight, bite and behave just like crucians and I could fish for mullet every day if it was possible.

They're in the lower Severn but not up around Shrewsbury yet.

Plenty in the Oxford canal . In fact one club is removing pike so the Zander can flourish . The bailiff wasn't impressed when I mentioned wouldn't it be better the other way round and if I caught a Zander it would get knocked on the head as an invasive species .
