Default Pike fishing near London

Hi there,
Fancied trying my hand at spinning for pike. Wondered if anyone here could point me in the direction of a good forum for advice on set-up, where to fish etc.
Thanks
Alex

You will find most stillwaters closed to pike until Octoberdon't know why really as they are a good summer quarry.The rivers won't open until June 16th,but the Thames has its fair share,try around Walton cut and island or the weir pool at Sunbury from the Surrey bank,also punts for hire from the Middlesex bank.If you can find a free stretch of the mole or the Wey they both have their fair share of fish.

try the Pike Anglers Club web-site. As well as advice there are regional organisations which may cover the area you live/want to fish.

Be careful when buying lures. More and more fisheries are putting in a single hook rule and of course barbless.
