Fishing for wels catfish — practise in real Swedish lakes
wels catfish is documented in 32 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with wels catfish as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.
Where in the depth column is wels catfish?
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 wels catfish?
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.
