Trying to catch this top freshwater predator is one of the most exciting days fishing you can experience. My pike days are recommended for those who have been fly fishing before, as we will be using heavy rods and line and casting large flies. We'll fish in a large lake in North Wales which has a good stock of hard fighting pike. It’s the perfect location to catch that big predator pike. These fish can be anything from a 1lb jack pike to a double figure monster and will take a 6-inch pike lure without hesitation. This is usually with a smash take, and then the battle is on! A wire trace and strong mono is the order of the day, as we have to make sure these toothy fish don’t bite through the line. The best time to fish for Pike is from April to December.
