Fly Fishing For Pike

This exciting branch of fly-fishing is rapidly becoming one of the most popular on Britain's waterways. On Chew Valley Lake in particular, the potential to catch a real monster pike is always there. Martin has caught numerous pike over twenty pounds on the fly and boasts a personal best (on the fly) of thirty-two and a half pounds. An intimate knowledge of the feeding areas of the pike is essential for success, and with years of time spent on the water in pursuit of the pike, Martin is a highly sought guide on this water.

Pike fishing packages:

  • Specialist tackle can be provided
  • Martin ties all the special flies himself (these are available for purchase.)
  • For those new to pike fishing, handling skills with this delicate creature will be thoroughly explained.
  • The opportunity to fish for trout will be made available.
  • Trips may be arranged on rivers, canals and other stillwaters.
  • At certain times of the year, perch may be an alternative quarry.

On full day packages, a cooked meal with wine and beer are always provided.

As with all of Martin's trips, memorable photographs are made available free of charge.
