Fishing in Perchzilla

Fishing in Perchzilla is known for its high average weights and the unique opportunity to catch perch over three kilograms. The lake's nutrient-rich environment, abundant baitfish, and crayfish allow the perch to grow strong and muscular. Here, anglers primarily use jig fishing, shads, crayfish imitations, and various rigs such as Texas, Ned, and free-rigs, but hard baits like jerkbaits and crankbaits also work very well during the right periods.

The fishing changes distinctly throughout the season. During autumn, the perch are active, often hunting high in the water, and respond well to shads, hard baits, and chatterbaits. This is a period with many bites and a chance for fish around 2–2.5 kilograms. As the water gets colder, the perch move deeper, and the fishing becomes more technical, where slower presentations and more precise rigs often yield the best results.

During winter and early spring, the truly large fish begin to show themselves. Bites may be less frequent, but jig fishing near the bottom with larger shads and crayfish imitations is often key. This is when fish exceeding three kilograms are caught, and every bite is a chance for a dream perch. It is also a period where advanced techniques from Japan can make a big difference in your fishing.

Perchzilla offers a perfect combination of variety, challenge, and a chance for trophy fish, whether you prefer classic Scandinavian jig fishing or more technical presentations.

Host - Borrebutiken

Borrebutiken is run by true perch fanatics, fully focused on modern perch fishing. They have spent many hours on the water, both in Sweden and around Europe, to understand how to catch big perch.

It's all about the right lures, the right technique, and understanding the details that make a difference. Whether it's rigging, equipment, or tactics, they know what works.

During the fishing trip, they share their knowledge directly on the water. This means you don't just fish; you also develop and gain new insights for your own perch fishing.

Preparation Day in Sweden

Before the trip, we'll meet at the Borre shop in Trollhättan for a preparation day. Here, we'll go through equipment, bait selection, and how to approach fishing in Perchzilla.

This is an important part of the trip. Small details can make a big difference once you're on the water, and proper preparation significantly increases your chances.

You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions, get tips, and learn from experiences from previous trips. For those who cannot attend in person, there's an option to receive information and advice digitally.

Accommodation in Perchzilla

During your stay in Perchzilla, you will live comfortably in modern apartments near the fishing waters. This provides an excellent base between fishing sessions where you can relax, recharge, and prepare for the next day.

The accommodation is tailored for anglers, with ample space for equipment and a smooth daily routine throughout your trip. You will share accommodation with other participants, fostering a wonderful community where the day's fishing is often discussed late into the evening.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included during your days at Perchzilla. Lunch is delivered directly to the lake so you can stay focused on fishing, while evenings offer good food and time to recap the day's experiences.

fish species and bait choice

Perchzilla is best known for its large perch, but there are also pike and zander for those who want to broaden their fishing. The perch thrives in the lake's nutrient-rich environment and preys on both crayfish and small fish, which means that jigs, shads, and crayfish imitations work very well. During active periods, hard baits such as jerkbaits and crankbaits also deliver, and various rigs such as Texas, Ned, and free-rig can be crucial when the fish are more cautious. Those who adapt their bait choice to depth, season, and activity often get the best results – and the chance of catching truly large fish.

What is the weather and climate like in Perchzilla?

Perchzilla is located in northern Spain, near Bilbao, where the climate is milder and more varied than in southern Spain. The area is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, providing pleasant temperatures and good conditions for fishing for much of the year.

During autumn, a popular time for fishing trips, temperatures often range between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. It's a stable period with active perch and good fishing conditions.

Winter is cooler, usually between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius, and can offer more varied weather. However, it is also one of the best periods for truly large perch.

Spring brings rising temperatures and more active fishing again, while summers are generally warm but rarely extremely hot compared to southern Spain.

The weather can change quickly, so it's always a good idea to pack for sun, wind, and light rain.
