Fishing for european eel — practise in real Swedish lakes
european eel is documented in 3125 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with european eel as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.
Where in the depth column is european eel?
Share of the national survey catch per depth zone. The simulation uses the same distribution — fish the right depth and you hook more, and bigger.
Which method takes european eel?
The simulation's technique selectivity — how readily the species takes a lure, a baited float or a vertical jig. The wrong method doesn't catch the wrong fish, just like in real life.
