Best of 6 on sunday on the Stour in Dorset, and I contrived to lose or miss as many again.
3ft long nose to fork, I guess about 15lb. get out there before the spawn starts.

Nice fish. Caught my first one on the fly last Saturday, only a very small one, but its a start, missed a hell of a lot more. When do pike usually start spawning?

Murtol, where'd you catch the pike?

Does that look like a larger pike grabbed it ? hard to tell without a close up but I have had a 12lb'er covered with bites before so maybe not impossible ????

On the River Figile.

Interesting, I've been heading up to Cavan (from Dublin) since before xmas trying to get a pike on the fly, no success yet. With trout fishing starting on Sat I thouht it would have to wait until the next winter. But the Figile....interesting. Could have some 50/50 days early season! Liffey for trout, Figile for pike.

Thanks

Definately not impossible.......friend of mine was playing a 20lb+ fish which was grabbed!!! They're there for the catching fella's!!

No just a crappy phone camera with a pikeslime enhaced lens

Thats a shame,,,thought there might have been a big old lunker about
