Fly Fishing For Pike


This exciting branch of fly-fishing has rapidly become 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 well over twenty 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).
