How to fish it · for Pike
When
Pike are under severe thermal stress. Post-release mortality is high. Defer the session until water cools below 19°C.
Where
Water at 23°C. This is the line where catch-and-release kills pike. Do not fish for them today.
The plan
Plan A
Water at 23°C. This is the line where catch-and-release kills pike. Do not fish for them today.
Plan B
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Watch for
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Boat — at anchor
Windy conditions suit anchoring in productive areas rather than open-water drifting.
