Default Piking during the trout season (Chew)

Anyone know if you can fly for for pike at Chew during the trout season or can you only do it on there special pike days ?

Basically can I turn up for a days fly fishing but use huge flies intentionally meant for pike and not trout ?

If so can you do this other place as well ?

Cheers

The best days I have ever had for actually catching Pike have always been in September and August.

Early is better for smallish ones ( if you can hit a concentration ) sometimes for 5lb fish in June !

Chew good for pike in May. Tried in late june last year and not nearly so good in terms of numbers.
Roach pattern flies are best.
