Getting Started - My First Golden Rule of Pike Fishing

For some anglers pike fishing is just one more branch of angling that can be picked up when the mood, or time of year, dictates. It is then dropped again in favour of another species.

For others it has developed into a relationship that requires serious love and attention to keep it satisfied.

Read my thoughts on Getting Started and the reasons for My First Golden Rule of Pike Fishing.

P.A.C. Regions

September is the time of year when many pike anglers start dusting off their tackle in anticipation of a successful winters piking. It's also the time when the Pike Anglers Club Regional Meetings really get started. Many RO's have already been busy filling their diary for this winter.

I have put together a list of events that have been announced so far.

There is also a full list of the P.A.C. Regions to help you get in touch with your local Region so that you can meet up with fellow pike anglers to chat about your fishing and share experiences, knowledge and, hopefully, a good laugh.

Endrick Pike

What are Pike? - Andy Webster

Pike are a predatory fish found at the very top of the freshwater food chain in British and European waters.

Whether gazing over miles of natural Scottish Loch or boating on the man made Broads of Norfolk, walking along a small Yorkshire river or sailing a huge Welsh reservoir, Pike will be lurking in the shadowy depths.

They dance on the surface among the flies.
