Are There Zander in the US?

While the zander is almost exclusively found in Europe, the UK, and western Eurasia, two lakes in North America hold an actual population of zander. These waters are Spiritwood Lake and Alkali Lake in North Dakota.

Tight Lines!

Hi, I'm Max. I have been an avid angler for over 20 years and I just could not imagine a life without this wonderful hobby! To me, fishing is a passion and a lifestyle. The joy of the catch, the bait, the tackle and the outdoors in general is what Strike and Catch is all about.
