Where you can find Pike-perch

On this map you see where there were observations of Pike-perch around the world, to give you an idea in which continents, countries and waters you can find this fish species.

Years 2000 until now, source: GBIF

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.
