French Walleye

I know them as Walleye, some people call them Pickerel. Pierre, a fisherman from France who sent in this of his catch calls them Sandre. What other names can you think of for this wonderful meaty game fish?

Hi all.
Thanks for your web site . That’s the best one i’ve found when it deals with fishing.
That’s an everyday life pleasure to glance at the incredible pictures you digged up.
Here is the picture of a Sandre (in french), i think the proper translation is Pike Perch or Zander
That’s not a monster but I don’t think you already have one picture of this species on your website, it looks really similar to Walleye.
I’ve caught this Pike perche of 3.5kg for 71 cm in a small river of Normandy two days ago.
I wish you the best
Regards
Pierre

Beautiful photo Pierre! It’s nice to see that the fall photos are coming in too. Not that you would know here in Toronto. Not to mention google is saying its going to be 19C for the rest of the week.

We’ve had the Zander i think since the early 60’s in England and at first most (stupid) people thought they were a cross strain between a Pike and a Perch!…They were killed a lot to start with as most (stupid again) people thought they would take over the countries waterways and be the only fish left in existance after killing every other fish in the country!…They fit in very nicely and haven’t done any damage at all to the other fish populations i’m glad to say.

Re: Japanese Tackle Shops

That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!

I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
