How to Catch Pike (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from How to Catch Pike Pike often stay in one particular lair for a long time. After a big flood, try slack water off which a fast stream is running. Pike know they will get a good dinner in the slack where other fish have taken refuge from the swift stream. Tread lightly on the bank when approaching a known pike lair. Try for pike directly a river or lake begins to clear. The fish are often ravenous then. Spin right up to the edge - a pike may lurk under any bunch of sedges or weeds. Always see that your reel runs freely and is in perfect order. Keep it well cleaned and oiled. Touch up the point of the gaff from time to time with a file. If a landing-net is used, it must be large and strong and be well sunk before your fish is brought over it. Place your bait-can in the water while fishing - it keeps the baits fresh and lively - but see that it is safely attached to the bank by a piece of cord. A mill-dam is often a good place for a pike.
