Also referred to as 'zander' or 'glass eye', the pike-perch is a predatory fish that primarily hunts during the morning hours. It prefers smaller baitfish to his bigger cousin the pike.
Pike-perch can be found on big rivers and lakes. In the warmer months when they're more actively hunting, any place where there's disruption in the current you have a chance of catching them. During the colder months, pike-perch will be holding up much deeper. At this time it's harder to catch them as they're less actively feeding, you'll also need a good sinking line (and often need to fish from a belly boat) in order to reach them.
Flies
There is nothing quite as exciting as fly fishing with poppers. Seeing a fish come and inhale your popper off the surface is just awesome. The take is so aggressive that it will leave your knees shaking as you set the hook!
