Pike perch fishing starts with finding the right location. Various spots along Lake Veluwe are good for pike perch fishing. Lake Veluwe was created from the Zuiderzee after the construction of the Afsluitdijk causeway and the IJsselmeer lake. The Bordering Lakes, including Lake Veluwe as you know it today, were created following reclamation of the Noordoostpolder and the Flevopolder. High volumes of pike perch can be found in the deeper parts of the lake. Ask at reception for more information about the best fishing spots and what bait is best to use when.

Fish types: ide, asp, zander and perch.
How to fish: with a small lure, spinner or fly (size 12 to 8), then reel in the line, varying as you go. In the current reel in firmly, turn.
Types of bait: choose between flies, red tags, pheasant tails, small, 3-4 cm brown/silver streamers (make sure you have enough backing, at least 50 m). Small pike plugs and small spinners. Snoekbaars Boat Rental provides these types of bait free of charge.

Zander

The zander doesn't like light and, during the day, will hide in the darker, deeper parts of a river or lake. Of course, this is very interesting information for the zander fisherman, because it means they can be fished somewhat predictably.
During the day, make sure to always fish under and around the bridges and pillars.

Stizostedion Lucioperca, known as the zander or glass-eye fish, originally came from Eastern and Middle Europe. However, since the end of the 19th century, the zander has also been stocked in the Netherlands, particularly for commercial fishing. They can reach sizes of 1.2 m long, but such large specimens are very rare and also very rarely caught. A zander of 80 or 90 cm would be considered big in our chilly country and are mostly caught in larger rivers. How many fishes will you catch?
