What is the pike fishing like?
The very big pike of the past probably aren’t in the lakes anymore but you can expect good sport with jacks in the Kingfisher Lake especially but in the other lakes as well. These are excellent for kids and beginners. However, do make sure that you’ve got your unhooking mat ready and the pliers and forceps you need to take out the hooks. An unhooking glove is also a good idea if you are at all unsure. If you are worried about unhooking pike, seek advice from a more experienced angler or, again, take half a day out with John Bailey who will show you the best ways to handle your fish.
