Is there anyone on this forum that fishes for Pike?

Caught hundreds in the past, me brother caught a 33lb one in a local trout lake a good few years ago which was quite impressive.

I've also scoffed a few too but be aware of the dreaded "Y" bones, lethal I tells ya.............

I fish mainly for trout on the fly rod but have been dabbling with pike fly fishing .There was a record pike caught for chew valley lake last week . 40.5 lb on a pike fly rod. Will be in the angling times this week i think or next .
Even here a double is a good fish , there are many pike in chew and some real biggies but a double is still something to be very proud of,the 33lb fish mentioned on here is a fish many pike anglers will never get close too and is really a massive fish..

Jeez quite a few of yous, I didn't expect that. I've been a mad keen piker for almost 15years now. Had loads of Fish over 20lbs with a of 41lb 2oz. Angling times had me in the top 10 catches of all time. In 4hours fishing I had fish of 22lb, 26lbs, 27lbs, 27lb 12oz, 28lbs and the 41lb 2oz giant. Since that day I feel I have reached my goal and my hearts not in it anymore. That's why I have moved onto wildlife as my main hobby. Seen some fantastic things during my fishing sessions though, it's half the enjoyment of the sport.

yes, I know what you mean sitting on a river or lake bank watching all the wildlife around you..you cant help but take notice. all part of the enjoyment.
I sit for hours now just watching the comings and goings of my pond..love it.
