Fishing Techniques
- For Zander
Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- For European perch
Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
