Hello All - I'm new to the forum and to pike fishing so I just wanted to say hello and try asking for a few tips. I'm mainly into shore fishing, though I have recently started a bit of fly fishing and have also just bought a kayak. I spent a lot of time plugging for bass last summer, with little success, and the idea of trying for pike using similar methods appeals. I'm based near Richmond North Yorkshire and am happy to travel to find fishing, so here's the request for help. Can anyone suggest a location to have a go for a pike, is it worth trying lures at this time of year or is to early in the year and finaly if lures are no good what should i be doing. Thanks in advance for any help,
cheers

welcome to the site mate. there are a few on here who like to fly fish for pike, and im sure they will be willing to help you.

Hi Jack and welcome to our site mate
Lures are working just nicely at the moment

Have a good look around the site mate theres loads of information that should interest you

welcome to the site mate.

Just looked at where you are on google and there looks like you my have some really good spots on your door step ?
Would not mind flying in the swale for the trout either lol ?

There are a few pike fly fishermen on here who are very good they may be in touch and help you out ?

Hi Jacko, I am from Darlington, now living in Lincolnshire, so I know your neck of the woods very well, there are some decent spots in your area, it may be a good idea to join the Pike Anglers Club, I think they meet near Darlington, but their web site would be a good start. I am through in a couple of weeks, I will contact a few guys who may be able to point you in the right direction, good luck

welcome aboard
