Not the day for it
Good wave on — drift country. Not much stacked in your favour today. Worth an hour if you are nearby, not worth the special trip.

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 27.9°C. This is the line where catch-and-release kills pike. Do not fish for them today.
The plan
Plan A

Water at 27.9°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 — drift

A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
